Brother Yun is a Chinese evangelist who has greatly influenced the house church movement in China over the past 4 decades. His hunger for a Bible after his conversion at 16, his vision to spread the gospel, and his perseverance in prayer are exemplary and well suited for a semester program for young people with 7-14 occasions. After years of living in prisons, Brother Yun now lives in Germany. His vivid stories have been written down in the book "Heavenly Man" 

Here you will find a spiritual concept, a semester program on "Ernst Tanner Helimission" and other interesting info (incl. videos).

Ernst Tanner is a Swiss missionary and helicopter pioneer who has had many exciting experiences with God, people and helicopters throughout his years. His vivid stories can be found in the books Death Shadows and More Than an Adventure (both on the Homepage of Helimission). There are also video excerpts for various stories to go with the afternoon theme.

The stories are perfect for a semester focused on young adult technology (See semester program)

During the telling of a biblical story, the children are each given a drink that suits them. This allows them to experience the story and immerse themselves in the feelings of the characters.

Here is a little tutorial on how to make up three different types of wounds. To spice up any paramedic course or in the afternoon. (Caution! For people who cannot see blood)

Heat the tin over a camping stove until it becomes liquid. Then pour into the prepared mold. After cooling, sand the pewter figure with files until it fits.

It works in a similar way to normal floorball. Instead of field hockey sticks, the players have a fly swatter and the game is played with a ping-pong ball. The playing field, group size and goal size can be freely adapted to suit requirements.

Make your own chocolate candy. The way it works is that you dip grissini as a "wick" in various types of liquid chocolate and enjoy them as a dessert at the end.

Eating cheese slices can function as a kind of team building activity. We eat cheese slices after the Jungschi afternoon, for example. On the one hand, we use this as a source of nourishment, but also to strengthen the leadership team.

You take an uncoated, empty tin, bend a small grill rack, make two holes in the tin to hang a wire loop, place a mini pizza on the rack, push the rack into the tin and place the tin in the fire. And the pizza is ready to bake.

Preparation of Pulled Pork

• Working time approx. 45 minutes
• Resting time approx. 45 minutes
• Cooking/baking time approx. 3 hours
• Total time approx. 4 hours 30 minutes

Remove excess fat from the pork neck and rub with the mustard on all sides. Mix the paprika powder, salt, pepper, cumin powder, thyme and rosemary to make a spice mixture (rub) and rub the neck of pork generously with it. Leave the meat to marinate in the fridge for 12 - 24 hours.

The next day, cut the apple into pieces and the onions into half rings.

Heat the Briquettes for the Dutch Oven. I use 6 at the bottom and 14 at the top for my 11 litre pot. Place 6 Briquettes under the pot and sauté the onions in oil. Then add the apple and sauté. Add the Worcester sauce and tomato paste and fry briefly. 

Deglaze with the stock and put the pork neck on top. Put the lid on and load it with the remaining coals. If you have one, you can also fit the pork neck with a thermometer. After approx. 1.5 hours, you can add a few more Briquettes (unless you have specially long-lasting Briquettes).

After approx. 2.5 - 3 hours, the roast is done, the core temperature should be approx. 90-95 °C. Take it out and let it rest for 30 - 45 minutes wrapped in aluminium foil. Afterwards, the roast can be pulled and served according to taste. 

Either enjoy in a roll with green and coleslaw and 1 - 2 tbsp. of the onion-apple sauce or put it back in the pot and mix it with the onion-apple sauce - a real treat. Serve with a good piece of baguette.

Whether in the Sola, on a normal Jungschar afternoon or on a team outing, a cosy fire should almost never be missing. But which leader does not know it, that he quickly reaches for kindling cubes due to lack of knowledge or lack of time and inwardly knows: "I have sinned against the Jungschar law!" :)

Well this booklet can't give you extra time making a fire, but it can give you tips and tricks on how to make a fire survival style.

These topics are covered:
- What are the regulations/laws of fire making?
- Different natural tinder (tinder sponge/birch bark etc.)
- Different spark generators (ignition steel, fire drill etc.)
- Fire forms (pyramid, layered fire)
- Fire drilling
- Different dishes for over the fire

The booklet is very good for personal use, for leaders but also for children.
Have fun reading through it and then maybe making a fire.
