Kanaan Team for young women

Do you wish that you could learn to

Love Jesus more?
Trust your heavenly Father all the time?
Live in reconciliation and heal broken relationships?
If your answer is “Yes”, the Kanaan Team could be the right thing for you!

What to expect

Fellowship with young people from different countries
Bible studies and talks on different topics
Someone who will listen to you with an open heart and pray with you
Times of praise, worship and intercession together

Also

Practical help with our work in the community
Community prayer daily at 3 pm
Worship service with Holy Communion on Sundays

The program has fixed arrival and departure dates. If someone is unable to stay the whole time, please enquire.

As well as helping with our work, the spiritual programme during these weeks is fairly intense. We will have times for worship, prayer and intercession, Bible study and fellowship at meal times with different Sisters of our community who gladly open their hearts and offer insight into their spiritual journey.

Everyone on the Kanaan Team will have a ”Prayer sister” for sharing and praying about personal issues.

What did you always want to ask somebody from a monastery?

Questions we are often asked

Can I live with you for a while in the monastery?

Between Easter and the end of October, guests may join us for a time at Kanaan to help us with our work on a voluntary basis. In summer, we are joined by young women from different countries who come to help and to deepen their spiritual lives.

Can I become a Sister in the community?

We can’t answer this question in a couple of sentences. The most important requirement is a heart that burns with love for Jesus, then a clear calling from God and the ability to live in community. The age limits for joining us lie between 20 and 40 years.

First Impressions

What former teamers say...

“

My time at Kanaan exceeded all my expectations! When I arrived in August, I didn’t exactly know what to expect, but looked forward to experiencing life in a sisterhood, meeting new people and hopefully deepening my faith. Six months later, I can’t begin to describe what this time has meant to me, except that has changed my life.
Meredith, USAExceeded all my expectations!

“

Looking back at my time on Kanaan, I think it was exactly as it was meant to be with all the questions that have been answered and those that have not yet been answered, with the inspiring people, conversations and stories which were shared. I will definitely come back again, even if I don't know exactly when that will be.
Marie, Germany

“

Wow! I feel I could write an entire book about my experiences at Kanaan! I got to know Jesus as my King and Bridegroom. Yet, by far the deepest revelation I received was getting to know Him as the Man of Sorrows. Recognising that He longs to reveal His loneliness and suffering to me has touched me deeply and drawn me closer to His heart.
Joana, GermanyA deep revelation

“

My time with the Sisters was a season of deep healing and restoration. It was there that I began to understand what it means to be a daughter of the King. The love and truth they poured into me continue to shape my life, and the relationships formed there remain a treasured part of my journey.
Sarah, USATime of healing

“

The deepest impression from my time at Kanaan: He came to us and remained among us, giving us moments of repentance and joy and bathing us in His presence.
Sarah, GermanyFind the love of Jesus and love Him back
