What is BR-Hope?

God loves Bruchsal and every single person who lives here.

The name “BR-Hope” stands for Bruchsal (BR) and “hope”. We would like to give every visitor the opportunity to find more hope for their lives in God. That is why the name also hints at the English sentence:
“Be our hope!”

The prayer room of BR-Hope is a place for encountering God. Each visitor can meet God in a personal way. You will find various “stations” with prayer activities that will help you to reflect, meditate and pray. A Christian oasis of peace – here, you can refill your batteries with new strength and hope for your everyday life in the holy presence of God.

At certain times of the week, there is also a prayer team available. The team will be glad to pray with you and for you – for a general blessing, for healing (physical, mental and/or spiritual) or for any other issue or concern.

Welcome to BR-Hope!

The Bible, Psalm 92:12-14

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
planted in the house of the Lord,
    they will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
    they will stay fresh and green…

About us

BR-Hope is run by a non-denominational group of Christians who come from a range of different churches in and around Bruchsal, Germany.

Our vision is to create a “room of hope”, where visitors can either encounter God personally through the prayer activities on offer or by praying with our team about their needs, worries, illnesses or fears. In this way, they will hopefully discover that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are at work in our lives today. We hope to bring everyone, even in the middle of their everyday lives in town, into close contact with the love of God.

That is why we are delighted to work together for Him – and also for you!

Welcome to BR-Hope!

The Bible, Psalm 1:1-3

Blessed is the one… whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither…

The Bible, John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

If this statement intrigues you, please come and talk to us about it!

The Bible, Psalm 91:4

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Testimonies

Here are a number of quotations and anecdotes from visitors who have been blessed or healed by God in various forms at BR-Hope or through the prayer of team members. (Most of these quotations were originally in German, and so have been translated into English by us):

How brilliant to read all of the things that are happening with you, and what a powerful light you are in Bruchsal!!! May God continue to protect you and hold His hand over you!!!
(Edith Korb)

A brief encouragement for all of us, that God truly acts and heals: The day before yesterday, I had a chat with a neighbour who suffers from severe backache. I asked her if I could pray for her, and she immediately agreed. I placed my hand on her lower back and started praying. Even as we were praying, my neighbour said that her back was becoming really warm. Her pain was much better after the first prayer, and after the second one it had gone completely! My neighbour was totally delighted! Yesterday, I saw her again in the garden, and asked her how she was doing. She said that the backache hadn’t come back!

Ms. X said that she had been blessed with both physical and psychological healing – she is doing well…

Is he feeling any better yet?
Yes, at the moment his heart is doing fine. 😃 Halleluia, thank you for your prayers!

Ms. Y came into the prayer room at BR-Hope and explained that she was suffering from really bad headaches. I prayed with her for a while, and she seemed to be feeling much better. I saw her again a few days later, and she said that the headaches had vanished completely and hadn’t come back since.

Ms. Z was miraculously discharged from the hospital last night. She is feeling 100 times better, and her values are looking good. If you consider that on Wednesday she was in intensive care and fighting for her life, then it’s absolutely justifiable to call this healing a true miracle!

A quotation from a person who supports the project:

If you pray for healing and restoration to flow into the circumstances of someone’s life, then God’s kingdom will have come much closer in Bruchsal. I’m observing all this from the outside, but I can clearly see God’s hand powerfully at work in you and with you! I am so proud of all of you, my brothers and sisters in Bruchsal.

Ich rufe Freiheit aus für die Gefangenen, den Blinden sage ich, dass sie sehen werden, und den Unterdrückten, dass sie von jeder Gewalt befreit sein sollen.

Jesus, Die Bibel, Lukas 4,18-19

What we believe

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (Jesus, The Bible, John 10:9-10)

We are a group of Christians who feel called by God to offer this expression of love and hope to the people of Bruchsal. We share the following fundamental Christian beliefs that also form the basis for the work of BR-Hope:

We believe:

that God created everyone as a unique person and gave them a wealth of gifts,
that His Son, Jesus Christ, died for us, rose again on the third day and is still alive today,
that we can experience Him in our lives today through the working of the Holy Spirit and through His Word in the Bible.

We believe:

that the love and forgiveness of God through Jesus is the foundation for our lives,
that God wants to reveal himself to us even nowadays through the workings of the Holy Spirit, for example through prophetic words of wisdom or supernatural healing.

We intend:

to create space in prayer for the Holy Spirit to take action and we trust that HE heals, consoles and refreshes.

We believe:

that we can turn to God with all of our problems, worries, needs and illnesses; He is waiting for us and hears our prayers.
We believe in the power of prayer and trust that we can find help and refuge in God in every situation.
