Biblical Christian Worldview Seminars
These seminars highlight cultural developments in today's global world and help participants find answers to questions from a biblical perspective. The seminars provide insights into the thinking behind current social and political changes. We deal with understanding today's trends and emphasising why it is so important to have the right worldview.
With the Bible as our foundation, we equip Christians to take responsibility in all areas of life. We answer the question: “How can I as a Christian make a difference in my workplace?"
These seminars are especially for university students, teachers, pastors, youth workers, community leaders and parents.
In addition to the necessary historical and social information, the seminars offer workshops and discussions for one's orientation in a world that is changing all too quickly.

Hope in Times of Scarcity - Biblical Perspectives on Poverty
+Much of our world seems to no longer function as it once did. The west, long considered a bastion of prosperity, is now grappling with growing instability - and poverty is increasingly becoming a reality within our own cities. In the face of these shifting tides, we must ask: What is a truly biblical response that offers more than just a temporary fix? We invite you to rediscover the mission of Jesus Christ, not merely as a historical concept, but as a powerful answer to the crises of our time.
Through the seminar, we explore why lasting change begins in our mind. We will examine how our internal mentality shapes our response to poverty and how we can transition from a mindset of lack to one of divine abundance. By recognizing the resources God has already placed in our hands, we can cultivate the actions necessary to make a sustainable, positive difference in our communities.
This teaching is designed for those involved in community development, social work, or ministry, as well as anyone who teaches or preaches on these vital topics. Our goal is to move beyond addressing symptoms and instead foster a biblical vision of hope that restores dignity and empowers the individual.
Speaker: Manuel Rapold. Manuel Rapold is part of the leadership team of Campus for Christ, Switzerland. He brings a profound, global perspective to this conversation. Spent his formative years in Africa, Manuel has since trained numerous leaders and students in biblical responses to poverty. He is the author of the book Que le pauvre dise: je suis riche! (Let the poor say: I am rich!), an invitation to transform our mindset and discover the path out of poverty through to our identity in Christ.
