Just as Jesus preached and healed on this earth, so we too are sent into this world to proclaim God's love and to live it.

Jürgen Werth

Jürgen Werth (* 1951) ist ein deutscher Journalist, Publizist und Liedermacher, der über Jahrzehnte den Evangeliums-Rundfunk in Wetzlar leitete und als Vorsitzender der Deutschen Evangelischen Allianz wirkte. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch geistliche Lieder wie „Du bist du“ sowie durch Veröffentlichungen, die Gottes bedingungslose Annahme und den seelsorglichen Umgang mit Zweifeln und Schwachheit betonen. Für Bibelleser heute verbinden seine Texte biblische Hoffnungsbotschaften mit alltäglicher Lebenserfahrung in einer sprachlich feinfühligen, poetischen Form.
