The network is constituted as a non-profit organization, Bethel SOZO Switzerland, based in Winterthur. We support Christian congregations in Switzerland, Austria, and South Tyrol in establishing a SOZO service for inner healing and liberation. We then continue to support and advise them. Once they meet the requirements to offer SOZO independently , they become part of the Alpine countries network.

Our SOZO service requires trust. This becomes easier the better I know the person I'm working with. This website is just the beginning. We're here to help you with any questions you may have.

Our vision is for vibrant churches, full of people living in close fellowship with God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This way, they experience how powerfully and lovingly God meets them. They can resist the enemy of God because they have closed his gates of entry into their lives. We are convinced that SOZO can make an important contribution to helping the church fulfill its God-given mission to make disciples of all people. To achieve this, we offer training and coaching so that as many churches as possible can offer SOZO according to the quality standards and core values of the international ministry. These include:

• to reckon with God and his supernatural work
• to rely entirely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit
• to use the tools appropriately and safely
• to respect the limits of those seeking advice and not to initiate anything they are not prepared for

Andreas Meister

Andreas Meister  is the president of our network and coordinates the work in Switzerland, Austria and South Tyrol. I am happily married to Esther and the father of two adult children.
I am passionate about SOZO because I have personally experienced how Father God affirms me as his beloved son. And when I lead SOZOs , I count on the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. Without Him, SOZO makes no sense. This way, recipients are not dependent on us, but can use these simple tools to remain in dialogue with God and continue to heal.

Martin Staple is the actuary of our network.

Together with my wife, Karin, I lead the SOZOministry at our church, "Treffpunkt Leben," near Linz in Upper Austria.
We come from a pastoral background and immediately recognized the healing potential of SOZO . After the basic training and a 10-week internship directly with co-founder Teresa Liebscher's SOZOteam at Bethel Church in Redding, it became clear to us that SOZO was a key to liberation in Austria.

Erich Burri

Erich Burri,  a member of the board of Bethel SOZOSwitzerland, Austria, and South Tyrol, is responsible for the association's finances.

I have been happily married to Denise for 35 years; we have four adult sons and live at the southern foot of the Jura Mountains.  SOZO has had a lasting impact on our family culture through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Healing and deliverance are part of our everyday lives. I support Denise in leading the local SOZOministry and am inspired by how our God empowers people so that they are free and find hope. Yes, and he always speaks in a way that allows them to feel personally addressed and to put what they have heard into practice.
