Axel Printz


Name:  Axel Printz  (email: aprintz@eletszava.org)

Testimony:

   On October 14th, 1965 I was born as the 4th son of my parents. I was raised in a beautiful historic town in the center of Germany called Schlitz. I grew up with a knowledge about the Christian belief but I did not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. When my brother died through an accident at just 16 years of age, I started to think about what would happen to me after death. Finally, at a youth camp held by my church in 1986, I received Christ as my personal Savior.  That same year at a summer camp at Word of Life in Germany, I dedicated my life to the Lord. In 1984 I finished my apprenticeship as a carpenter.
   The two of us became staff members of WOL Germany in 1987 at Lake Starnberg. Axel was responsible for maintenance, garden, and worked as the sound technician. This is also where we got to know each other. Following our marriage in 1990 we spent one year in Hungary in order to support the ministry of WOL. There God laid a burden on our hearts for the spiritual needs of the Hungarian people.  That's why we decided to attend the Theology Seminary Adelshofen for a four-year course. (Comparable to a BA in Theology) Returning from Seminary, we served part time in our home church for the last 5 years.
