Jesus Leben Outreach

Life with Jesus, One Step at a Time

“Abide in Me.” (John 15:4)

Jesus Leben means “Life in Jesus.” Leben is German for life, and the name confesses that real life is found in Christ: “For to me to live is Christ” (Philippians 1:21).

We have Swiss-German Anabaptist roots, shaped by faith lived plainly and practiced quietly in everyday obedience. That’s why this outreach focuses on a steady walk with Jesus, grounded in His Word: “Abide in Me” (John 15:4) and “Your word is a lamp to my feet” (Psalm 119:105).

How This Began

This outreach began with a quiet whisper of the Holy Spirit and a simple hope in Jesus Christ as Redeemer. It is offered with humility, not as a display of greatness, but as a small work placed in God’s hands.

The purpose is to encourage a steady walk with Jesus and help others come to love Him, not through proud words, but through Scripture-shaped encouragement and books that point to Christ. These writings also aim to strengthen believers to remain watchful and ready for the day Jesus comes again.


Beliefs & Basics

Question: Is Jesus Leben Outreach a church?

Answer: No. We’re an online publishing ministry, not a local congregation.


Question: What do you publish?

Answer: Christian books (ebooks + paperbacks), blog essays, and devotionals.


Question: What tradition are you rooted in?

Answer: We have strong Swiss-German Anabaptist roots. That heritage shaped our love for simple faith, everyday discipleship, and a life that matches what we say we believe.

At the same time, we do not encourage splitting Christians into competing labels. We believe all believers in Christ are one family, united under Jesus Christ as King. Our roots inform us, but our identity is in Him.



Question: Is this only for Anabaptists?

Answer: Absolutely not. Our allegiance is not to a denomination, but to Jesus as King. Jesus came for all people, from every corner of the earth, and all who belong to Him are family.

You don’t need to join a particular “brand” of Christianity to be welcome here. We are made one family through the blood of Jesus, shed for all at Calvary, and that bond is deeper than any label.



Question: When will you begin this work?

Answer: In God’s timing, soon.
