history

Hans and Pauline Beck founded the "German Mission Community, Association for Charity e. V. “(DMG) at a mission conference in 1951 in Beatenberg (Switzerland), together with other participants. For Hans Beck, this step was also a thank you that God had kept him in World War II. The organization had its first home headquarters in a small attic apartment in Stuttgart-Korntal. As the first foreign employee, Helmut Gaertner was sent to Spain in 1953, where he produced Christian radio broadcasts. Gaertner was later involved in founding the ERF in Germany. As early as the 1960s, DMG had around 100 employees working around the world. In 1971 the Christian aid organization moved to the Buchenauerhof in Sinsheim. Today around 400 people are employed in various projects around the world. Over time, the DMG built up a network of partnerships with more than 100 churches and nonprofit organizations around the world, in whose projects and areas of responsibility it places Christians with a sending congregation in Germany as employees. In January 2014 the DMG was renamed DMG interpersonal. The new logo was combined with the slogan “So that people meet God”.

Pastor Günther Beck (previously Head of Public Relations) and Andrew Howes (Human Resources Manager Africa) have been running the plant as a tandem in succession to the previous Director and first Chairman Detlef Blöcher since May 2018 .
