Cornelia Lippuner is a missionary with Lebenshaus Güetli and organiser of Community Bible Study in Switzerland.
When did you trust Christ?
I became a child of God when I was about 17 years old. I was in a severe crisis and near death. I did not seek the Lord, but He was the only one who could help. It was a long process coming to know Him and finding new life. Since then, it has become clear to me that my life belongs to Him and that I serve Him. There is no other use for my life, and there is no other answer to His care for me.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
I came to know Jesus when I joined a Christian community. There, I found help to step into a new life. That same year, I also decided to become a missionary. Now, I am part of the organisation Lebenshaus Güetli, and I work as a missionary for people in Switzerland.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I would love to be equipped to give the Bible to people and teach women to teach as senior teachers. I'm looking for the application of Titus 2, which is not only for single women but also for teaching women. I wish to gain more clarity and certainty in my role as a woman, and by this, to become a Christ-honouring example. I am also looking forward to an inspiring fellowship with other women and asking the Lord to continue His blessing for them.
What is your ministry?
For many years, I have worked as a missionary in Switzerland for 'Lebenshaus Güetli'. This is a Christian community with a focus on youth. My husband and I have led this centre for many years. First, my ministry was with youth; now, it is in counselling and women's ministry. Along with my husband, I serve as a marriage counsellor. My particular focus in the last year has become the ministry of Community Bible Study, which I lead in Switzerland.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
Since 2017, I have worked as the national responsible for CBS Switzerland. This involves leading the national organizational work, being a partner with CBS Europe, and leading the work with the national CBS groups.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I aim to be worthwhile, both in terms of fruit in heaven and in the impact of my ministry, even though I know I am not always good at putting into practice everything I hear. Still, I believe there is always room to grow. My ministry is based on the direction: 'Bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing' (1 Peter 3:9).
