FORMER WOMEN'S MINISTRIES LEADER OF THE SWISS-GERMAN CONFERENCE (DSV) PASSES TO HER REST

Christa was a pioneer, motivator and mentor.
In 1995, when Women’s Ministries was initiated in the DSV, Christa Hang was there. She helped to build up Women’s MInistries in Switzerland. At that time women's breakfast or evening meetings were still unknown. Thus such events and meetings were planned and introduced in different churches.
From 1999 - 2001 Christa was the second Women's Ministries leader in the DSV and continued to shape the work. Christa also began Women’s Ministries in her local church Lucerne. I remember how she wanted to put together a team for the women's breakfast meetings. She asked many women and got many rebuffs. Finally, she found three women who embarked on the adventure. These three are still active since 1997 in the women's team in Lucerne. Christa had a good eye for sustainability. Each women's breakfast was carefully planned under her guidance with appropriate Bible texts, decoration and food. The topics Christa creatively developed were biblical, true to life and refined with a pinch of humor. After a while, everyone from the whole team was prepared to work out and hold the topics themselves. She did not leave us alone with this task, no, she accompanied, supported and motivated us. She was a wonderful mentor to us. That came to bear when Dieter and Christa went abroad for a few years. As a team, we were able to continue the women's work in Lucerne without disruption.
This work has evolved and expanded over the years. One thing has remained during all this time. From the start, we always had guests among the participants at each event. It was Christa's great concern that these meetings should be mission oriented. Through this work, people should be able to find answers to their questions about life and God. I am looking forward to a time when we will see the results of this work together with Christa.
We wish Dieter and his family much strength in the time of mourning and farewell.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
