“The intention is not to win souls for the church, but to make contact,” says Otten. He already dreamed of a mobile meeting place in 2020. The idea was mainly prompted by the corona crisis. Many people were forced to stay at home. Contact with others was sporadic or not possible at all. Loneliness was lurking. In recent years, the pastor has regularly tried to show something of the church in an accessible way.
