Project Zeltplock – Guest House as an Extension of the Taunusstein Hub

A Place to Live, Learn, and Work Together

Project Zeltpflock – that’s what we’ve named our initiative. It carries the motto of what God is doing: He is expanding our capacity and our space. Where we only see rubble and challenges, He gives hope and brings people and resources together to build something new.

"Make room for people!”

One night in 2022, God woke up a board member with one clear sentence:
“Make room for people!”

Shortly afterward, a half-timbered house in need of renovation went up for sale—directly next to the existing buildings of our community in Taunusstein-Wehen. For us it was clear: this is an open door.

What Is the Vision?

After extensive renovation, the house will serve as a flexible guest and community house, providing space for:

• Short-term accommodation for participants of our workshops and trainings

• Mid-term staff of our agricultural project

• Refugees in need of simple housing and connection

• A family apartment that can also be lived in long-term

• … and people who want to share life with others

At a later stage, the plan is to provide a guest room for people in acute need in cooperation with the city of Taunusstein.

Financial Miracles

Fabian and Tirza purchased the house and are coordinating the renovation. The project is fully privately financed—through (mostly) interest-free loans and donations from friends, family, and association members.

• €155,000 purchase price was raised—at the very last moment—by December 30, 2022.

• €90,000 renovation costs have already been invested. Originally, not much more was expected—but by now we know the need is significantly higher, as a full core renovation became necessary.

• With an additional €120,000, we will be able to complete the project.

Again and again we have witnessed miracles in staffing, materials, and finances. For example, in January 2024, when a volunteer team arrived to continue construction and €30,000 was still missing for essential materials. The day before work began, various supporters spontaneously pledged over €31,000 …

“I checked the account three times—and each time there was more in it. It felt as if God Himself was confirming with trumpets: I am with you.” – Fabian

Time and again we realize: this project is more than a building project. It is a house that connects. Renovation continues in stages—with much personal effort and the help of friends and teams from Flashpoint Missions.

“You shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.” – Isaiah 58:12

And Now? What You Can Do

• For the people who will later live in the house
