Die einen tragen Steine, die anderen Gold

Author: Daniel Schulze

Daniel Schulze (born 1989) lives with his wife Miriam and their three children in Annaberg-Buchholz in the Ore Mountains. After graduating from high school, he gained initial professional experience in social missionary work with children and adolescents at Stoffwechsel e.V. and PAIS Deutschland e.V. in Dresden. Shortly before his wedding to Miriam, Daniel was diagnosed with a severe autoimmune disease with chronic consequences, which placed a heavy burden on the young marriage. After a year of stagnation, Daniel studied theology in the Black Forest. He graduated summa cum laude as the top of his class. He then continued his training in Bad Kreuznach, where he was ordained as a pastor in the Federation of Free Evangelical Pentecostal Churches in 2019. He initially worked in children's and youth ministry and later took on responsibilities for integration, discipleship, and teaching. In many sermons, Daniel reflected on his insights and experiences with God in light of his chronic illness. After 15 years, the family returned to the Ore Mountains, where Daniel took a pastoral position at the Pentecostal Church in Annaberg.
