Robert Metz

Chairperson

German Board of Directors

Robert is married to Alicia and they have three daughters. He has just completed his studies as a lawyer and is awaiting an appointment by the German justice department. “The Biblical foundations and understanding of manhood, womanhood, sexuality and marriage are essential for followers of Christ; and one of the most neglected aspects for a good and blessed family and society in our days - especially in the developed countries of the world. Genesis Design proclaims God’s way regarding these important Biblical Truth Foundations that go hand in hand with presenting the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
