Goth Fest outreach is eye-opening, faith-building, and full of powerful encounters with people who may never have experienced God’s love in such a direct way.
How it works
What Is Reach Turkey?
Once every year, more than 25,000 people flood Leipzig, Germany, for the world’s largest Gothic festival. Behind the elaborate costumes and dark appearances are people searching for meaning, hope, and connection. For the past 16 years, EI has been a living expression of light in the midst of Goth Fest.
Goth Fest outreach is an invitation to step into this unique setting and bring the love of Jesus through conversation, prayer, and friendship. Team members are trained and equipped before entering the festival grounds, learning how to share the gospel with compassion and confidence.
