Church planter and Bible student wins ‘Miss Germany’

The new Miss Germany, Kira Geiss, is a committed Christian. She has won a title that, according to the organisers, is no longer about beauty alone, but also about social engagement and the ability to empower other people.

‘I think it is time to not only take care of the healthy maintenance of our planet, but also to actively engage in allowing people to heal and grow internally’, she says on the Miss Germany website, where she is described as a ‘theology student, aspiring religious and community educator, and visual merchandiser’.

Geiss is a Bible student at a Mission School near Stuttgart. Her calling to church planting and reaching non-believing youth has not changed, she says. ‘We need more young congregations that are open to change. Churches that stick to their principles but still move with society. I would like to be a voice for the church. I love it more than anything and it is my home’. Her passion is ‘to serve God and my neighbours’.
