Memorial service of the life and work of Geri Keller - english https://www.youtube.com/live/V0KlG81v7Ps?si=chWkfCjdJZ5LFIfQ |
In loving memory of Swiss Reformed Pastor, Geri Keller, who was the founder of Schleife Stiftung. I will post about his profile and some of his writings and quotes before I give my thoughts on him. While I do not agree with his charismatic theology, I still believed he is saved and I think he is a good minister of the Gospel. I noticed he shared the same birthday on June 19 with Charles H Spurgeon and John F. MacArthur. I respected him for his ‘Heal Our Land’ Conference with the Amish and Mennonites in May 2003.

Geri Keller memorial service on May 23, 2023 in the Winterthur riding hall - report by Marnie Hux-Ebermann
Geri Keller, founder of the interdenominational Schleife Foundation in Winterthur, died on Sunday, April 23, 2023 at the age of 91. He leaves behind a great legacy.
Exactly four weeks to the day after his death, the memorial service for this amazing man and loving friend of God took place in the riding hall in Winterthur. Many people whose countless lives had been touched by Geri Keller wanted to attend this special event. For this reason, the journey there proved to be extremely challenging: the parking spaces in the entire Winterthur riding hall area were full. The police had already ordered entry to the Teuchelweiher parking garage and pointed out other options nearby. People were queuing in front of the entrance to pass through the gates of the riding hall that Geri had always loved for this special moment. The rows of people were accordingly filled with people who were looking forward to the memorial service and a look back at Geri Keller's moving life.

Andreas Keller
The memorial service began at 3 p.m. in the well-filled riding hall with a welcome from Andreas Keller and musical praise from the Reithalleband, which has existed for decades, and friends of Lilo Keller, with many of Geri's favorite songs. Andreas Keller, the second-born son of Geri and Lilo, greeted the congregation with the words from Revelation 22:13: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." He said of his beloved father: "A great man has left us and we miss him sorely," and quoted Psalm 116:15: "Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his faithful ones." He is certain that Geri is now in the cloud of witnesses - together with many of his close, trusted and beloved friends and fellow campaigners for the Kingdom of God.
When asked how he imagined his abdication, Geri replied: "You're doing well!", looking out over the expanse of the landscape. Then he said: "But you can come with me to the riding hall." A sign that he loved the conferences and meetings in the riding hall very much, and of his heartfelt wish that God would enter the hearts of the people and the gates of the city. Throughout his life he always gave his honor to the Lamb of God, whom he worshipped every day, alone and together with his beloved wife Lilo. At this point Andreas hands over the floor, or rather the stage, to his mother Lilo Keller, as she now leads the congregation with the riding hall band and friends in praise and worship.
Thomas Bänziger
After the praise, Thomas Bänziger (who, together with his wife Katharina, leads the Schleife community) begins with Geri's favorite topic: the Lamb of God. A topic that Geri has always addressed in his messages throughout his life. "My life's topic is the lamb," Thomas Bänziger quotes him as saying. "Geri called me many years ago when his life was hanging by a thread due to severe pneumonia and said: 'If I don't survive this, the lamb should be the topic at the funeral.' Geri lived for another seven years after that, but today what he wished for back then has come true. In Seen he began every sermon with the words: 'We preach Christ, the crucified.' And so today we want to take a look at the lamb together. I read verses from Revelation 14: 'And I looked, and behold, the Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes.' Geri said the following in a sermon on Revelation 14 in the riding hall: 'Here we come to the heart of the gospel. There is no text that fills me up and fulfills me at the same time.'
When father Abraham went up the mountain, his son asked: 'Father, where is the lamb?' And Abraham answered him that God would choose a lamb. The Israelites had to take their Passover lamb into their houses, get used to the lamb, love it and then sacrifice it. And then Jesus is born in Bethlehem, the place where the Passover lambs are raised, and even dies on the day the Passover lambs are slaughtered. The story of the lamb runs through the Bible up to the last book of Revelation. Geri loved the thoughts of Georg Steinberger "The Way of Following the Lamb" as well as the place where the book was written - the Rämismühle. 'Behold the lamb that does not open its mouth.' Steinberger describes in detail this lamb nature that Geri carried so deeply in her heart. As a child, Geri had an encounter with God and saw the lamb in the shepherd's cloak - and followed him from that moment on. Sometimes the paths are lonely.
Geri never shot back when shot at. His message was: 'Tell people that we must love our brothers and sisters, whether they love us or not, whether they understand us or not. Love will make you bigger.' He said: 'I don't know what God would rather show us than the lamb. When we are changed into the nature of the lamb, we will have our sights set on the goal.' The basic calling of his life was the love of the lamb. From this came his love for people. We can all tell stories about Geri, sudden visits and encouragement like 'Hang on!' or 'Don't give up!' When I was in hospital, Geri also suddenly stood there and said: 'Don't give up!' Many years ago we had a parish meeting and suddenly someone said: 'Where is Geri?' He was standing in the kitchen washing up for everyone. Three days before his death he asked me: 'Thomas, what is going on in the parish? From the joy of the lamb comes the joy of being a shepherd. Friends, do not give up! Strive for the joy of his flock!' Geri died with this deep belief in revival. Isaiah 33:17 says: 'Your eyes will see the king in his beauty, they will see a wide land.' Geri can now see the king and this wide, beautiful land.'
Lilo Keller
Lilo greets the congregation with a word that Jesus put into her heart that morning: "I want to glorify my name!" And that is what happens when people come together before Jesus. She warmly thanks all friends and visitors for coming and taking part in the memorial service for Geri. In the next 30 minutes, Lilo tells a stirring story about Geri's life.

6 and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: 7 the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. 8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” 9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” - Revelation 4 verse 6 to 11 (ESV)\ [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.fromreformationtoreformation.com/post/poole-on-revelation-4-7-the-four-living-creatures-part-2] https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/prayer/powerful-prayers-for-children.html http://www.danielhaston.com/roots/anabaptists/anabaptists.htm |

CV of Geri Keller
Childhood and Youth
Geri Keller was born on June 19, 1931, as the first child of Reinhard and Rosa Keller-Sommer in Winterthur. His paternal ancestors came from the Tösstal valley. His grandfather owned an embroidery business there before the family had to move to Winterthur during the recession. His mother came from a farming family with a sizeable farm in Tollhausen, very close to Winterthur.
Growing up with his sister Ruth, who was seven years younger than him, the ambitious boy spent his school years at the classical grammar school in Winterthur until he graduated. He studied theology in Zurich and Basel, under Emil Brunner and Karl Barth, among others, and graduated with top marks, so that one of the professors wanted to keep him as an assistant and recommended him for an academic career at the university. But there was another fire burning in Geri's heart.
It is interesting to note that Geri worked as an industrial painter at night while he was studying, in order to ease the burden on his family, which was by no means wealthy. Even then, he loved simple people and the simple, modest life. Two of his uncles were vagrants, with whom he maintained close relationships. He had a deep friendship and appreciation for his college friend and fellow student Ernst Sieber. I remember well that Ernst Sieber rode a donkey through the streets of Zurich during one of the first televised church services for which Geri was responsible, and proclaimed: "A dä Pfingschte gahts am Ringschte!"
Geri spent a lot of time on the farm with his beloved maternal grandmother. There he helped in the stables and in the fields, lent a hand wherever it was needed, and enjoyed it when his "Groseli" told him Bible stories on the stove bench.
He always spoke with delight about his legendary bike tour in the 4th year of high school, which took him and a friend to Sicily. They often illegally hung on the back of trucks and returned home half-starved due to a lack of money! As an active member of the Boy Scouts and Rovers of Winterthur, he enjoyed many friendships, which later led to him being one of the leading members of staff at the national camp of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in Bleniotal TI in 1969. Geri developed a passion for gospel at a young age. He accompanied himself on the guitar and sang his way into the hearts of enthusiastic listeners, just like his role model Mahalia Jackson, whom he greatly admired.
His spiritual development was shaped by the Salvation Army, where he was blessed as a child. He attended Sunday school in the Brethren Church, was confirmed in the FEG and spent a time in Chrischona, where his parents had found a spiritual home. Geri attributed his love for the Kingdom of God, the Word of God, the denominations and the major churches to this rich heritage of spiritual life in its various forms. With great gratitude and respect he spoke of the various "colors of the spirit" that he had encountered in his childhood and youth and that had created in him an understanding of the body of Jesus.
At around seven years old, Geri had a deep calling experience, which led to an unshakable certainty in him that he would become a pastor. On a trip to central Switzerland with his family, Geri had an open vision. He saw Jesus waving to him, calling him to him and leading him to a nearby chapel. The little boy witnessed how the Lord had to bend down very low to enter the interior of the church. A formative experience of God!
Sturm- und Drang years
After graduating, Geri taught religion at the local high school. After a short time, the then headmaster Hans Peter Jäger appointed him to the Samedan middle school. As a boarding school chaplain and teacher of various subjects, he founded an anti-smoking club with his students. In his stories, Geri took pleasure in emphasizing that the anti-smoking group had won a football match against the smokers from another boarding school! He had a warm relationship with Hans Peter Jäger until his death, which was also deepened by the shared prayers in the Capuchin monastery in Olten, with Brother Tilbert Moser, Martin and Georgia Bühlmann and others.

The appointment as parish priest in Bauma
Geri loved his first community passionately. In the years 1957-1960 he staged four open-air plays with the entire village population: Everyman, the Alsfeld Passion Play, the great Thuringian Mystery and Caedmon by Erica von Schulthess. People flocked to the events on special trains, which were a blessing for the village community.
After seven years, his first marriage ended in divorce in 1965. The years that followed were difficult and challenging. Convinced that he would never again step into a pulpit, Geri studied special education, trained as a filmmaker at Swiss television, and was responsible for the first televised church services. He also worked part-time as a nursing assistant in the closed ward of the Rheinau Psychiatric Clinic. He also tried to take the taxi driving test, but was unsuccessful because he could not explain the functions of the engine to the expert.

A decisive turning point
In retrospect, it was God's providence that the then president of the church council, who was rooted in Christ, followed up on the "failed pastor" and called him to take up a position as cantonal assistant preacher. So for about three years, Geri stood in a different pulpit in the canton of Zurich every Sunday, unless he was on a long-term assignment in a congregation. In his struggle with his God for his identity and for a new perspective on life, he learned the entire Epistle to the Romans in Greek by heart. A treasure that stayed with him until old age and was a bubbling source of inspiration, experience of God, comfort, joy and encouragement for him.
During this turbulent, shame-filled time, Geri had his second profound experience of God while studying the Scriptures. When he came to the 8th chapter of the Epistle to the Romans, the overwhelming realization of God's grace struck him like a lightning bolt. Joy, acceptance and light flooded his tormented soul and made his body dance. His life had meaning again and the clipped wings of his calling began to grow anew.

Marriage – Calling to Pfäffikon ZH
It was during this period of life that we met, the musician Lilo Baur, who was 15 years younger than me, and the director Geri Keller. During our joint rehearsals for a performance of Paul Burkhart's "Zeller Weihnacht" with 700 scouts from Winterthur, a tender love grew between us. On May 30, 1968 - almost 55 years ago - Geri and I were married in the Rosenberg Church in Winterthur.
We moved to Tollhausen into our grandmother's farmhouse, where we were able to rent a very simple old apartment with an outhouse. In April 1969, Geri was appointed parish priest in Pfäffikon Zurich. In the same year, our first son, Emanuel, was born, and in 1971 our second son, Andreas, was born.
All in all, it was a wild but also very productive time with great social and cultural commitment from both of us. In addition to promoting social housing, a youth center and a daycare center, Geri was also a passionate "prison priest." This was also reflected in the fact that it was not unusual for a released prisoner to end up in our rectory. Memories of overcrowded Christmas parties in the rectory, to which Geri brought together people from the fringes of society, are an unforgettable treasure. There came the "beloved garbage man," who sometimes allowed the children to ride along, which was forbidden, the woman who could no longer wear shoes, and the beloved shepherd.
It was an open heaven, even if a lot of things were "upside down" and at times overwhelmed me, even though our foster son at the time was actively supporting us. Despite external successes and a full church, the fact that we hid drugs in the rectory for a former confirmation candidate as part of our commitment led to a crisis of faith for Geri. When the young man suddenly appeared on our doorstep and told us how he had come to faith in prison, we got to know the "God who works miracles". A new world opened up for us. We were introduced to Hanspeter and Anita Vogt from the Nieschberg drug rehabilitation center, who later became our friends. This led to Geri being baptized together with former drug addicts and a heartfelt relationship with my later spiritual father, Jakob Rietmann.

Frankfurt am Main, Germany
A retreat weekend with the Jesus Brotherhood in Gnadenthal, Germany, led to a third dramatic experience of God for Geri. When, after his confession of life, he looked into the face of the brother who was listening to his confession, the shining face of Jesus Christ was reflected in the face of this shepherd. This indescribable experience, the joy of forgiveness and the new-found freedom through the blood of Jesus, was expressed in the fact that Geri, as he liked to tell, ran through the nearby forest, cheering loudly and literally knocking over dry tree trunks.
In 1976, Geri was called to the Lukaskirche in Frankfurt am Main, where Pastor Wilhelm Busch had previously worked. There was a revival among the youth. We regularly traveled to confirmation camps in Rämismühle, Switzerland. At this revival site, where Georg Steinberger had written his little book "Following the Lamb," almost all of the confirmands gave their lives to Jesus. Whole families were saved, healed, and released to serve by this mighty God. We also performed the musicals "Zeller Josef" and "Noah" by Paul Burkhard with these young people.
It was a time of many spiritual awakenings: John Wimber visited Berlin for the first time, where Geri was able to pray with him and others for his failing health. YWAM and the ministry of Keith and Marion Warrington were flourishing, and friendly relations with the Catholic Renewal bore rich fruit that continues to this day. Contacts with the Bethel family, where we met Mario Schaub, the Marburg Circle and many other Christian movements such as Projection J and Ken Janz, the GGE (Spiritual Community Renewal in the Evangelical Church) under the then leadership of Wolfram Kopfermann, the Evangelical Sisters of Mary and the Canaan Francis Brotherhood in Darmstadt and Latrun (Israel) and Switzerland also enriched our lives. Wonderful friendships have remained as a precious treasure.
What also had a big impact on us during our time in Frankfurt were our contacts in eastern Germany. The visits to our then partner community of Stendal, which were often accompanied by adventurous smuggling operations of printing matrices, food and other important things, remain unforgettable. But the encounters and prayers with so many war-damaged, traumatized people also weighed heavily on our hearts at times. How great the mercy and faithfulness of Jesus became for us!

Winterthur lakes
Through impressive dreams and visions, God prepared us for the fact that after five years in the big city we would be returning to Switzerland, leaving a flourishing and beloved job. On January 1, 1982, Geri was called to the parish of Winterthur-Seen. There, too, a stream of blessing, new life and God's passion for people prevailed. The air of revival blew among the old people, women and young people. The first worship services began and the first meeting of the AGGA working group for church development was held in Winterthur-Seen. Seen was also the birthplace of various ministries such as the "Läbesruum" by David Schneider and the Ismael association, now GDV, by Marcel and Regula Rebiai.
Despite opposition and public accusations, including a failed petition that would have led to his being voted out of office, Geri's passion and fire for the Kingdom of God could not be extinguished. Quite the opposite. It drove him to prayer, to a deeper relationship with God and to the certainty that "the Father will do it right," as he used to say. A large congregation of workers was formed and the "Windechreis," a group of leaders, met weekly for worship, for instruction from the Word, and for discussion in the rectory. The first weeks of pastoral care for pastors/preachers on Sternenberg, together with Utta and Christoph Häselbarth, became a turning point in the lives of many participants and a new start.
We had a lifelong friendship with the Häselbarths. Together we held countless seminars and conferences at home and abroad. Some of them were in Burgdorf, Thun, Winterthur, Hanover, Leipzig, Chemnitz, Innsbruck, Imst and together with them and Maria Prean the three-country conferences in Friedrichshafen.
Many needy people came and went from the rectory. It was a fertile environment for a number of wonderful vicars who found in Geri a man who was a pastor with heart and soul and who loved people, no matter what background they came from. Prophets and spiritual leaders from home and abroad, such as Frans Schadee, Doug and Beryl Maskell, Erich Reber, Ortwin Schweitzer, Paul Cain, Paul Keith David, Bobby Conner, Rick Joyner, Steve Thompson and Pat Holloran, landed in our "family nest" both announced and unannounced. A colorful "people" of musicians, dancers and artists also enriched our lives. Geri's musical, artistic side blossomed there.

Without the gospel everything is useless and vain; without the gospel we are not Christians; without the gospel all riches is poverty, all wisdom folly before God; strength is weakness, and all the justice of man is under the condemnation of God. But by the knowledge of the gospel we are made children of God, brothers of Jesus Christ, fellow townsmen with the saints, citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, heirs of God with Jesus Christ, by whom the poor are made rich, the weak strong, the fools wise, the sinner justified, the desolate comforted, the doubting sure, and slaves free. It is the power of God for the salvation of all those who believe.

A big step of faith
We started the riding hall services in January 1991. At the age of 60, at the end of 1991, Geri resigned from his job after a long struggle with God, to set off again into an uncertain future. I remember well how Geri disappeared into the forest for a day during the decision-making process with the intention of asking God for the final inner clarity for this unusual step. Believing that we had both heard correctly, we left the place at the word, even though we did not know where the path would lead. God's promise was that HE would be our "guide", and so it turned out.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us[b] for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known[c] to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. – Ephesians 1:3-10 (ESV) [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1021360263369226&set=a.563324335839490] |
The Schleife Foundation
The Schleife Foundation was founded in August 1992 with the aim of serving God and the body of Jesus with a wide range of continuing education opportunities. In 1994 we started the Tuesday services, which arose from the so-called Toronto Blessing and are still a place of worship, preaching the word and healing today. In 2003, Geri gave me the management of the Schleife Foundation, which I held for five years. From 2008, Andreas and Stephanie Keller-Weiner gradually took over the management of the Schleife and have been the overall directors of the foundation since 2014. With the Schleife community, which is now led by Thomas and Katharina Bänziger, a group of Jesus lovers grew up around us who are committed to a committed togetherness. It was and is the human backbone for all services and our spiritual home.
During our active Schleife period, many decisive, formative and, in retrospect, prophetic seminars and conferences with friends from home and abroad took place. The Levite camps in Frauenfeld in 2001 and in Wiesendangen in 2005 with up to 10,000 visitors were huge highlights. Friends of life such as Don Potter, Rick Joyner, Bob Jones, Lothar Kosse, Ken Janz and many others strongly supported our own wonderful team. A school for reconciliation and prophecy was established and missions were carried out in Israel. Also unforgettable are the times of worship in the Negev desert, which we carried out three times with the Reithalle band and intercessors in honor of Jesus, without an audience.
There were also mission trips with M107 and Peter Wichmann to Kiev, with Walter Heidenreich to Mongolia, with Swiss leaders to Korea and with the Watchmen movement around David Demian to Charlotte Town, Canada, Jerusalem and finally, when Geri was already 87, to Egypt. Together with his son Andreas, he experienced at that gathering how the fulfillment of the prophecy from Isaiah 19 began to unfold. In the spirit, construction continued on the highway from Assyria to Egypt, which was a matter close to Geri's heart.

The Ranft
Geri had a special relationship with the Catholic renewal, because one of his favorite saints was Niklaus von der Flüe. The Ranft was his second home; he loved the sound of the water of the Melchaa and the small path to Brother Ulrich's chapel. His interest in Brother Klaus was a constant thread throughout his life, and the hermit's visions had a future-oriented component for Geri, because he discovered in them the warning and blessing finger of God.

A Vision of Horns and Craftsmen 18 [a] And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four horns! 19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” 20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. 21 And I said, “What are these coming to do?” He said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one raised his head. And these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it.” – Zechariah 1:18-21 (ESV) [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.timothytomlinson.org/single-post/embracing-the-lessons-from-zechariah-s-vision-of-the-four-horns-and-four-craftsmen] |
books
For Geri's 70th birthday, his friends Michael Herwig and Ken Janz presented him with the manuscript of the Father Book, which they had compiled based on his sermons in the Reithalle. Geri later read it himself for an audio book in his sonorous voice. For his 80th birthday, it was our friend Walter Wieland who surprised Geri with the book "Verstasch", a collection of life portraits. An anthology of sermons on the Revelation has also been produced, and in the small volume "Israel and the Nations", Geri uses his deep relationship with the Jewish people and their state of Israel to promote the importance of this apple of God's eye. In addition, Geri's notes on Brother Klaus von der Flüe, with the interpretations of his groundbreaking visions, still resonate today - even in Catholic circles - and shine like a legacy from a kindred spirit.

Geri the Mystic
Geri was, by nature, a mystic, a hermit and someone who liked to remain silent. He did not say much about his friendship with the Father in Heaven, his love for Jesus and his admiring relationship with the Holy Spirit - he lived them. His library testifies to a man who never stopped seeking, exploring and loving God in his various facets. Thus, for him the cloud of witnesses was a reality with which he lived. The Desert Fathers, the Curé of Ars, Suse, Sadduh Sundar Sing, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, the Elders' movement, the icon painters and the "living saints of our time" (to name just a few) were a source of inspiration and experience of God for him.
Nature and creatures were as much a part of his life as clothes. He naturally prayed with sick animals, plants and trees, which the Lord also made healthy again. And he loved to roam around in the woods with his God, to enjoy the view from his local mountain, the "Hörnli", or simply to sit on a bench and "be there" in silence!

A Vision of Horns and Craftsmen 18 [a] And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four horns! 19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” 20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. 21 And I said, “What are these coming to do?” He said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one raised his head. And these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter it.” – Zechariah 1:18-21 (ESV) [PHOTO SOURCE: https://egnewstudios.com/the-book-of-zechariah] |
A common refuge
For about 15 years we owned a cabin in Moravian Falls, a tiny place in the woods of North Carolina, USA. Every year we spent two to three months there in secret with our God. We never stopped thanking God for this privilege and the enormous broadening of our horizons.
There, too, Geri had his prayer rock on a nearby hill, wandered through the woods and filled the atmosphere with his prayers, while I spent wonderful hours in my "prophet's room" listening and waiting for God and worshiping. Through our friendships with Don and Christine Potter, Suzy and Kamran Wills-Yaraei, Bobby and Carolyn Conner, Rick and Julie Joyner and many others "on the mountain" we gained an American family. As a result, we were involved in some outreaches at MorningStar, the All Nations Church with our friends Bonnie and Mahesh Chavda, the international summits with Gary Oates, Bob Jones, Larry Randolph, Brother Andrew Miller, etc. and many other opportunities.

retirement
Geri loved his family. Our sons, daughters-in-law and four grandchildren were always in his focus and at the top of his prayer list. No matter what was needed was too small or too big for him when it came to strengthening and supporting the hearts of the next generation towards God. Geri was also an important counterpart for his sister Ruth until the end.
He was a man of God's Word and a passionate worshiper of the Father in Heaven, the Creator of heaven and earth. He was a lover and friend of Jesus and an admirer of the Holy Spirit. As Geri's body became weaker, his spirit and love for God grew stronger. I often heard him say: "Dear Father, you are so beautiful!" Or he would simply whisper the name of Jesus or make the request: "Come, Holy Spirit!" Until the end, gratitude was a trademark in his dealings with him. Generous as he was, he always found an opportunity to express praise or encouragement. His loving attention to me also increased as he got older and he often said little things to me like: "You look beautiful!", "You cooked particularly well today!" or "You are so kind to me!"
In the last year of his life, Geri dreamed of the coming revival - so real that when he woke up he was quite sure that "the avalanche" had rolled in. He was also often taken to heaven, saw and tasted "unspeakable joy" there and kept dreaming of a beautiful castle. I believe it was his heavenly home, which was shown to him in advance by the Father in Heaven. There is much to tell about what Geri heard, experienced, knew, shared and put into practice in his life in his friendship with God. God knows.
Now my beloved has moved and entered into the glory of God, for whose visibility on earth he lived, suffered and loved.

Meeting secretly in caves and forests, the anabaptists grew to thousands over the next two centuries, and their ideas reached like-minded groups throughout Europe. [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.klkurtz.com/post/eyes-wide] |

Täuferhöhle AKA The Anabaptist Cave (also Holenstein Cave [ 1 ] ) is located on the southeastern edge of the municipality of Bäretswil in the Zurich Oberland in the canton of Zurich in Switzerland . In the 16th century it offered protection to the followers of the Anabaptist movement . |
Forward by Geri Keller in Paul Veraguth’s book: Heal our land
This book is the first of its kind. As a clear mountain lake reflects the majesty of the mighty mountaintops around it, the epoch of the Reformation and the Anabaptist movement is reflected here in the transparent heart of the author. His style is original and draws us in for a close-up view of past events. He describes the Anabaptist history as one who is deeply affected by it. This book does not just list dates and facts; the author opens up and shares personal issues without reservation. The precious threads of his own life experiences, personal desires and even recent struggles are woven into this wonderful patchwork quilt of history.
Just last year, Paul Veraguth was himself a victim of accusations from Protestant State Church agitators. Every day, the headlines of the local newspaper came down on him and his family. Yet, it was exactly this situation which allowed the strength and endurance passed down by his Anabaptist ancestors to come to the surface. For those committed to the Lord of the Sermon on the Mount, this kind of persecution is nothing new. Paul decided not to fight back and consciously chose the path of reconciliation. In retrospect, we can be thankful for this experience. This time of testing, as we recognize now, entitled him to write this book. It is not a book that pours more salt into old wounds; rather, it aims at bringing healing and pointing toward the future.
This book also poses very specific questions to the two great historical churches. The fact that they have long enjoyed close ties with the State has often made them blind to the existence and to the needs of the Lazarus represented in the independent churches at their doorstep. For this reason, the Swiss Protestant Synod petitioned fifteen years ago that, “making a new effort to deepen the fellowship among the Protestant churches and fellowships was one of the most urgent tasks of the day.” This involves more than just standing together at occasional meetings to show support for certain projects. True fellowship means being ready to listen and learn from one another. Paul, although the last one to be appointed an apostle, was by no means a miscarriage or an accident of the church; rather, he was an indispensable builder of unity among Christians. In the same way, the Anabaptist movement was no accident. The Reformation leaders – and we with them – would have done well to implement this prophetic word: “...take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19). Perhaps God, in His grace, is once again dropping down that large, linen sheet from heaven, as he did with Peter back then. This time, its contents are the Anabaptists and independent free churches, and He calls out to us, “Rise... and eat!” (Acts 10:13).
This book is also an appeal to the independent free churches. Whether they know it or not, the fact remains that they descended from the Anabaptists. Their commitment to Christ and testimony of blood were the foundation upon which the many independent churches and movements could later build. Being “independent” does not just mean freedom from state ruling and church patronization. All too easily, we can jump to the conclusion that it also means freedom from ties to history. Certainly, our roots are first and foremost in Jesus, but we are also rooted in our history. Otherwise, we would only be people of the moment, as Jesus described in his parable of the sower and the four types of soil. When tribulation or persecution came because of the Word, we read in Matthew 13:6, some immediately took offense or, as stated in brief, “...and because they had no root, they withered away.” When we honor father and mother, including, in this case, the Anabaptist or Mennonite fathers and mothers, we can expect God to fulfill His promise. It is a promise of life in its fullness, exactly what the crisis-ridden independent free churches need today.

Our first stop took us to The Cave of the Anabaptists near Bäretswil, where Anabaptists met in secret to worship the Lord together. We hiked a lovely trail up into the hills, listening to bells tingling on the cows wandering the hillsides. Arriving at the Cave, we worshipped together with several songs and had a devotional, imagining how it would feel to slip up the mountain to such a secret service. [PHOTO SOURCE: https://dwightmartintourssmbiblog.wordpress.com/2017/10/23/day-two-zurich-switzerland/] |
In publishing this chapter of church history, we also, in all humility, direct an appeal to the Anabaptists themselves. These were the ones who took up a huge challenge. They determined to fulfill the task which has been assigned to each Christian and to every Church: be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Over centuries, they shook up the systems of society and the institutions of the State Churches. They let their light shine, even in the darkest corners. They were a city on a hill, like one on the Jura Plateau here in Switzerland, which could not remain hidden.
God took these witnesses to the truth and made their foreheads like diamonds, even harder than flint (Ezekiel 3:9). As the Apostle Paul did, these believers could say that if the others are ministers of Christ, we are more – for example: “more in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often” (2 Corinthians 11:23). Today, they have their permanent place in the former so-called pastoral calendar of Switzerland.
Church forms and structures are set. The theological training of the preachers is conformed to normal standards. Yet, we know, “What does it profit a man if he wins the whole world and yet loses his own soul? If the salt loses its taste, then it is of no use.” This is neither a demand nor a threat. The Word of Jesus applies to us all: “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works” (Revelation 2:5). Moreover, it is our deepest cry and heartfelt prayer that the people of Anabaptist heritage would once again come before their God, like Caleb before Joshua. Despite his old age, he proclaimed, “As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in. Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims (giants) were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out...” (Joshua 14:11-12).

Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” – Nehemiah 8:10 (ESV) [PHOTO SOURCE: https://bibleportal.com/verse-topic?v=nehemiah+8:10&version=ESV] |
Finally, we are convinced that dealing with this inter-Protestant process of reconciliation will, in the widest sense, release healing for our nation and other nations. Both the Church and the State took turns in doing their part to mercilessly suppress and eradicate the Anabaptist movement. In God’s eyes, there is no statute of limitations on guilt. If it is not confessed and forgiven, it will continue to bear bad fruit. Do secular politicians somehow sense this? Have they realized the importance of confessing injustice committed against other nations and asking for forgiveness, as they have increasingly been doing in the past few years? As long as Abel’s blood cries out from the ground, our efforts in building a spiritual house, or even our own Swiss house, are in vain. We can try to wash our hands of any guilt by passing anti-racism laws, for example, but the stench of death is still clinging to us. May this testimony of a strong-in-faith State Church pastor fall like a stone in the water of forgetfulness and apathy and make waves to the honor of our great God. It is He who, “hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all” (Romans 11:32).

The Inheritance – A Journey Of Reconciliation With The Anababtists (ENGLISH)

A JOURNEY TO REDEEM A NATION'S DESTINY AND TO RESTORE A PEOPLE'S RIGHTFUL INHERITANCE.
In the early years of the Protestant Reformation, a new movement arose in Switzerland of radical believers who yearned to follow Christ in a more personal way and see their convictions integrated into the life of the Church. Labeled «Anabaptists» for their practice of adult baptism, they were driven from their homes, to the forest and caves, imprisoned, tortured, and put to death. Many were also banished and deported to other countries. Today we know them as the Mennonites, Hutterites and the Amish.
In May 2003, representatives of the Swiss state Church and hundreds of Swiss believers welcomed Amish and Mennonite delegations from the United States to the national «Heal our Land» conference in Winterthur, Switzerland as one step in a continuing journey of healing and reconciliation.

MY MEMORIES OF GERI KELLER:
As a Reformed church pastor in the Bäretswil region of Switzerland – Geri Keller knew nothing about the Anabaptists. Seeing busloads of American visitors hike into the woods to visit the Baretswil Cave he wondered what prompted those hikes. Eventually he discovered what was happening and he was deeply moved. He said to himself - something has to be done to deal with the sins of the past. Later he became the founder of Schleife, a non-denominational Christian movement in Winterthur and then he became a leader for the “Heal Our Land” conference at Winterthur in 2003. Amish and Mennonites from North America were part of the 900 attendees. There was a time of sharing, apologizing, forgiving, and restoring broken relationships. As a symbol of reconciliation, Swiss Reformed pastors washed the feet of Anabaptists.

Despite the Reformed Christians and anabaptist disagreeing on the issue of infant baptism, I am grateful that the late Geri Keller and Amish Bishop, Ben Girod, together with anabaptist groups were able to reconciled in the “Heal Our Land” conference.

Geri Keller was quoted as saying:
“We can no longer hide secretly that we feel you are right about baptism. I do not want infant baptism to be just a throw-away experience of infant blessing. It is not something cheap, an instrument just to control people. Infant baptism before the eyes of God has its meaning. How can I refuse to take the child of the confused parent and pray blessing down on that infant child? There are baptisms which are a betrayal of all that Jesus stood for. No minister or priest has the right to perform such baptisms; the symbols and signs of baptism belong to Christ and not to the church. If people have a heart for radical repentance then we must rebaptize those people. We self-righteous ones need to be rebaptized as much as others. Jesus did not celebrate when man saw men as trees. He touched him again. It is good to see but I want you to see more clearly.”
To my anabaptist brothers and sisters in Christ, please remember the late Pastor Geri Keller. He played a huge part in reconciliation between the reformed church and the anabaptist. I will put up this bible verse in memory of him.

"Heal Our Land" Conference
"From May 1-4, 2003, in a conference center at Winterthur, in the mountains of Switzerland, over 1000 Christians from all over the world met to joyfully worship, prayerfully seek and faithfully obey the God who heals our land by healing our broken relationships. This “Heal Our Land” conference was sponsored by the Stiftung Schleife, a Christian ministry devoted to serving the body of Christ and headed by Geri Keller, a Swiss Reformed minister." (Excerpt taken from "Come, Father, Heal Our Land.")
"A Swiss Reformed pastor for thirty years has carried a burden for reconciliation between these two groups. Geri Keller, founder of a parachurch ministry called Stiftung Schleife, organized the conference. There were many Anabaptists who attended from Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium and other parts of Europe, as well as Canada. The Swiss Reformed church was represented by approximately forty Reformed pastors and many lay people, who joined together for the four-day conference. Forty Amish from Montana and Idaho and seventeen Mennonites from the Lancaster and Franconia, PA areas were invited to participate in the conference. My wife Janet and I attended, representing Mennonites from the Franconia Mennonite Conference area. The total number of persons attending the conference exceeded 800." (Excerpt taken from "500-Year Old Swiss Wound Had to be Healed.")

John D. Martin is an itinerant Bible teacher with interests in a diversity of Christian topics including church history, economics, music, and church as community. He compiled the hymnbook Hymns of the Church. One of John’s passions is to help people see that the main theme of Scripture is not the “scarlet thread” of Jesus’ atonement, but rather the Kingdom of God; our salvation is a means to and end, the end being the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom is intended to demonstrate the excellence of God’s character and his manifold wisdom, and this theme runs through the entire Bible. He lives in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania and is a part of Shippensburg Christian Fellowship. [PHOTO SOURCE: https://strengthtostrength.org/the-new-humanity/] |
