- Eberhard ArnoldWhat I want for each young person can be only Christ’s way: to live close to God! To recognize and to do God’s will. To risk your life for the future kingdom of God. To be true to the call which has come to you. To allow your conscience to be more living, awake for the discipleship of Jesus. To temper your character and make the utmost personal effort for the tasks of God’s church. To follow the spirit and mind of Jesus Christ in everything. To trust the entire Gospel. To dedicate your whole life the whole of mankind.
