72: Kilian Spieß and German Christmas Traditions

Kilian Špiess grew up in Germany, and during his childhood, he attended an Evangelical Lutheran Church where he heard about God and faith. At the age of 12, he discovered the heart of the gospel and God's love at a camp, and since then, he has desired to follow Jesus. After years of serving at camps and being discipled, Kilian explored his heart for missions during internships in Manchester and Chemnitz, Germany at the age of 19, leaving him with the desire to reach people for the sake of the gospel.In 2020, he started studying Theology, Mission, and Ministry at ForMission College. Studying the depths of God and his word, Kilian focused on missional leadership in his dissertation, proposing new ways to combine leadership styles in ministry. After finishing his Bachelor's degree in 2023, Kilian took on the role of an academic administrator on the Higher Education team for Josiah Venture. In this role, he supports students and staff of ForMission College in order to enhance their college experience. His goal is to develop existing processes and pave the way for new experiences, equipping Christian leaders in Central and Eastern Europe for effective missional ministry.
