Lives transformed

“With our creative store we want to present you a special selection of beautiful, handmade candles and arrangements, but also high-quality products from our wood and craft workshop.

The charming unique items are made in our creative workshop in Erfurt and combine social commitment with the production of decorative and practical accessories.

With every article you purchase from our workshop store, you support the ministry of the Jesus-Projekt Erfurt e.V. and thus make it possible that also in the future people seeking help will receive meaningful employment, will be gradually introduced to the Christian faith and will be able to “gain a foothold” in society again.

Now I hope you enjoy browsing through this catalogue. Of course, we also look forward to welcoming you personally at any time in our workshop store, where an even more extensive assortment awaits you.”

Our products

When Ronny* came to us, he was a deeply insecure person marked by alcohol. He did not trust himself to do much of the work in our workshop. Over time, however, we saw enormous imagination and creativity emerge from his initial reticence.

Here you can see how our prices are composed:

Work

Our products are handmade and therefore relatively time and labour intensive. And that’s a good thing: It’s how we create community, structure and meaningful employment for our participants. [/one fourth]
