OUR HEARTBEAT
“God is able to abound you with all his grace, so that in every way and at all times you will have everything you need for life, and in addition to all kinds of good works.” – 2 Corinthians 9:8 | The Bible
What an inspiring statement! We have a God of “more than enough.” He is our faithful provider. For this, we are infinitely grateful. His enduring generosity continues to inspire us to give ourselves.
REACH Beyond means becoming one with the heart of God. We become part of the answer to the needs in our society and intentionally invest in local and global projects. Our desire is that people come to know Jesus, that we stand against injustice, and that globally relevant churches are planted around the world. Together, we can do so much good through our generosity. No matter how many resources you have: Each and every one of us can contribute something. Your giving is significant — not because of the amount, but because it reflects the generosity of God.
We are blessed to be a blessing. On the following pages, we present several projects that are on our heart for this year. We warmly invite you to be part of REACH Beyond 2026. We are looking forward to a wonderful 2026 with you!

Our desire is for marriages to be built as a healthy, strong, and resilient central foundation of our society. We are closely observing the many attacks directed specifically at this “smallest cell of society.” Therefore, we have committed ourselves to investing in couples, strengthening and equipping them so that they are prepared for the challenging seasons of life.
The project also includes organizing the annual Amorexperience the inspiring marriage event as an on-site and online event, enabling broadcast locations throughout the German-speaking region, and further developing groups, programs, and counseling for married couples, making them easily and affordably accessible to more people.
Easter and Christmas are the undisputed highlights of the church year. This year, too, we are offering special Easter and Christmas events that make it easier for our friends, colleagues, and families to have their first contact with the Christian faith.
REACH Beyond enables people to attend these Easter and Christmas events free of charge and encounter God — whether on site or online.

Since launching ICF Radio, it is now being listened to in 15 countries via app, Alexa, and web radio. Contemporary worship songs and inspiring messages play day and night, creating a growing community. For people who are searching for God, this offers a low-threshold opportunity to experience God’s love and hope.
Through REACH Beyond, we want to further expand ICF Radio by adding live hosting and preparing the stream in English as well, giving more people the opportunity to positively shape their everyday lives through worship and to get to know God’s love better.
The Church Online has become firmly established and has developed in a healthy way over the past years. People are stepping forward into discipleship and are being trained as leaders. Friends are invited and are discovering Jesus in a completely new way — across Germany. We are excited about the opportunities this will bring in the future. To reach more people with the Christian faith, we are investing in the further development of digital offerings and continue to broadcast our sermons regularly on television through München TV and Bibel TV, in cooperation with ICF München.

In the Book of Isaiah 1:17, we read that we should care for widows, orphans, and the poor. We also see many needs in our city and in our church community. We do not want to look away, but instead actively offer solutions and help.
Born out of prayer and put into practice by people in the church, this vision is becoming concrete: In 2025, we founded EMPOWER Sozialwerk.
In various areas of work, we want to meet social needs with the love of Jesus. The launch was marked in 2025 with EMPOWER Sozialwerk, starting with EMPOWER Living and supported independent living services. This area is already funded through public subsidies and grants.
Through REACH Beyond, you help finance the expansion of additional areas of work, such as EMPOWER Families, EMPOWER Counseling, and further projects within EMPOWER Sozialwerk.
God commissions us to bless His people, the people of Israel, and to honour our Hebrew roots. Over the past years, inspired by prayer and our network, we have invested in various initiatives such as prayer houses, kindergartens, the evacuation of Jews during the war in Ukraine, and other projects. Through REACH Beyond, you provide funds that we can use flexibly and at short notice whether God places a burden on our hearts or we want to provide financial assistance in times of need, such as during the Middle East conflict.

Persecuted Christians around the world are part of the global family of God. Therefore, we want to take responsibility, stand alongside our brothers and sisters in faith, encourage them, and provide practical help. For this purpose, we want to cooperate with partners such as Open Doors, who have been working in these regions for years and have built an established global network. In addition to providing concrete help, we must also remember to pray for those affected.
For over 10 years, we at ICF München have had the privilege of contributing to the founding and healthy development of ICF Cambodia.
Wir wollen auch weiterhin an ihrer Seite stehen, vor allem gerade jetzt, wo weitere Church Plants im Land geplant sind. Hier wollen wir mithelfen, dass die Botschaft von Jesus Christus mehr Menschen erreicht, Kinder und Familien von Gottes Liebe verändert und ein Unterschied in der Gesellschaft gemacht wird.

Our desire is to plant dynamic churches throughout Europe and beyond — churches where people can find a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, experience love and community, discover and develop their gifts, and be encouraged in them. We dream of passionate and vibrant churches that have a positive impact on society.
In our young history, we have already helped build more than 70 ICF Church Network locations in Europe and beyond. In many places, there are groups that have the potential to grow into strong churches in the coming years. Through targeted investments, we can significantly support this process — for example by training and financially releasing leaders, providing resources for effective projects, and making necessary purchases. Therefore, we want to invest in selected initiatives and intentionally help them move forward.
Training new leaders and pastors is absolutely central to successfully planting new churches. Good leadership and holistic discipleship are the key factors. Ultimately, they influence how effectively we can reach people and help them become more like Jesus.
Therefore, we want to consistently and intentionally invest in equipping and training potential pastors and leaders. Through REACH Beyond, we are developing a unified, hybrid, and international training program within the ICF Church Network, establishing a pipeline for our future church planters around the world.
With our technology, worship, and preaching teams, we go to different locations in Germany where churches are being planted within the movement. There, we help create a Celebration service where people can invite their family, neighbors, and friends, and we train and support the local teams on site. In this way, we can be a blessing during the pioneering phase of these church-planting teams.

Finally the time has come: After a long search for suitable premises, a lot of bureaucracy, an intensive renovation phase, and accompanied by the prayers of the whole church, we will move in March 2026 ICF München City is getting a new home!
The larger space opens up new possibilities:
- ICF Kids will have more space for the different age groups.
- Youth and Sunday Night will have space to gather and meet.
- We can offer discipleship steps and workshops.
- There will be space for team- and community gatherings.
- And there will finally be a place where people can meet at any time to experience community.
Through REACH Beyond, you help support the renovation, additional furnishings, the relocation, and the rental costs.
We are already looking forward to moving into our new home together with you, filling it with life, and creating a place where people can get to know Jesus better.
Statistics show that people who had contact with God and the church as children are more likely to discover and embrace faith as adults than those without this background.
We want to invest in the young generation by, on the one hand, laying the foundation for a relationship with God early on and, on the other hand, providing strong support throughout the teenage years.
Through REACH Beyond, we invest, among other things, in personnel so that we can accompany, support, and actively drive growth forward, and create additional platforms so that more families can experience God’s love.
As ICF München, we want to provide a home for people from all nations. That is why we have been offering translations and groups in different languages for many years. In the coming year, we are taking another important step: We are opening a new space where people from all nations and language cultures can encounter God and bring in their gifts — the English Celebration.
Dieser englischsprachige Gottesdienst soll eine neue Möglichkeit schaffen, Jesus kennenzulernen, den Heiligen Geist zu erleben, herzliche Gemeinschaft zu finden, die eigenen Gaben aktiv einzusetzen. Ergänzend zur Celebration möchten wir weitere Angebote schaffen, wie zum Beispiel ICF Kids am Nachmittag, Hangouts nach der Celebration, Jüngerschaft und Smallgroups.
All of this is so that even more people can find a spiritual home at ICF München.
