Bernd Armbruster

Bernd Armbruster is married to Ryoko from Japan since 2006, They have three amazing children: Anna, Noah, and Abigail.

Bernd grew up thinking Christianity was outdated and he decided to turn his back on the Church. He also disliked Christians.

After graduating from University in 2004, He went to China for what he thought would be an extended holiday. Little did he know that God was waiting for him there. In Shanghai, He met people who were madly in love with Jesus. They attended Shanghai Community Fellowship (SCF). They made Jesus so attractive to him that he became a Christian and ended up staying in Shanghai for 12 years. This is were he met his wife.

Bernd served the Lord at Shanghai Community Fellowship for five years. They saw the dynamic work of God! Bernd knew, however, that that time at this church was preparation for a long-term calling.

God called them to Germany, to start and pastor a new church. (Aletheia International Church Munich (AIC), www.aicmunich.org).
