Hi!

My name is Priscilla and more than eight years ago, I arrived in Germany with hope and no one to call. Two overweight suitcases, a plan, and the kind of courage that feels brave right up until the moment the plane lands and the silence hits you.

Nobody tells you about that silence.

The kind where you smile through hard days because there is no one to be honest with. The kind where you are doing everything right on the outside while everything on the inside is quietly whispering: I just need somewhere to land.

Then a stranger stopped. Just one human being choosing to see another. It changed everything. It reminded me that I was not invisible, that kindness still existed, and that belonging was possible even here.

I won’t pretend I have everything figured out. I am still finding my way, still trusting God with the parts I cannot control, still believing He is not finished with this story yet.

But I know what it feels like to need a table and not have one. And the kindness that stranger showed me was too good to keep to myself.

So I built the table I once needed.

Selah First is not a finished story. It is an act of faith. A space to pause, pray, worship, share meals and find a sense of belonging.

Whether you are strong in your faith, curious about God, new to the city or simply looking for community, there is a seat here for you.

Sit. Stay. Selah.
