Worship in God's creation - Kanaanteam 2024

Kanaan Team for young women

Do you wish that you could learn to

  • Love Jesus more?
  • Trust your heavenly Father all the time?
  • Live in reconciliation and heal broken relationships?
  • If your answer is, Yes, the Kanaan Team could be the right thing for you!

What to expect

  • Fellowship with young people from different countries
  • Bible studies and talks on different topics
  • Someone who will listen to you with an open heart and pray with you
  • Times of praise, worship and intercession together

Also

  • Practical help with our work in the community
  • Community prayer daily at 3 pm
  • Worship service with Holy Communion on Sundays

The program has a fixed arrival day. If someone is unable to stay the whole time, a shorter period is possible. The minimum time for the Kanaanteam summer program is 2 weeks.

As well as helping with our work, the spiritual programme during these weeks is fairly intense. We will have times for worship, prayer and intercession, Bible study and fellowship at meal times with different Sisters of our community who will be glad to give you more insight into our way of life.

Everyone on the Kanaan Team will have a ''Prayer sister'' for sharing and prayer about personal issues.

What did you always want to ask somebody from a monastery?

Carola Mehltretter is taking a bike tour across Europe and also stops by Kanaan on her way.

Questions we are often asked

Can I live with you for a while in the monastery?

Between Easter and the end of October, guests may join us for a time at Kanaan to help us with our work on a voluntary basis. In summer, we are joined by young women from different countries who come to help and to deepen their spiritual lives.

Can I become a Sister in the community?

We can’t answer this question in a couple of sentences. The most important requirement is a heart that burns with love for Jesus, then a clear calling from God and the ability to live in community. The age limits for joining us lie between 20 and 40 years.

First Impressions

What our teammates say

"

Wow – gefühlt könnte ich ein ganzes Buch über meine Erlebnisse auf Kanaan schreiben!
Jesus nicht nur als König und Bräutigam, sondern auch als Schmerzensmann kennenzulernen, war für mich die tiefste Offenbarung dieser Zeit.
Zu erkennen, dass Er sich danach sehnt, Seine Einsamkeit und Sein Leiden persönlich mit mir zu teilen, hat mich zutiefst berührt – und mich näher an Sein Herz geführt.

Joana, DeutschlandEine tiefe Offenbarung
"

Was mich am meisten bewegte an dieser Zeit auf Kanaan: Sein Kommen unter uns, sein Bleiben bei uns, die Momente von Buße, Freude und eingetaucht zu werden in seine Gegenwart.

Sarah, Deutschland''Find the love of Jesus and love him in return''
"

Meine Zeit in Kanaan hat alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen! Als ich im August ankam, wusste ich nicht genau, was mich erwartete, aber ich freute mich darauf, das Leben in einer Schwesternschaft kennenzulernen, neue Leute zu treffen und hoffentlich meinen Glauben zu vertiefen. Sechs Monate später kann ich nicht beschreiben, was diese Zeit für mich bedeutet hat, außer dass sie mein Leben verändert hat.
