We have finished up John and are now working through Romans, being " not ashamed" of the Gospel.

Missionaries, Paul and Doris Brock have arrived back in Germany!  We are so excited to have them back.  They will be filling in during our furlough from the middle of June to middle of August. Please pray for them as they adjust back to their ministries here in Germany.

 

We are excited about our men's group starting a new phase of growth and possible outreach upon our return in the fall.  Currently, we are meeting in prayer each Wednesday evening.

 I told of my witnessing journal in our last letter and I thought I would share a couple excerpts. 

             2013-04-24 At the Gym

Today, God gave me an audience of five people at the Gym.  They were all making their rounds from machine to machine as I told of God and his plan to save man from sin, guilt and  it's penalty.  I was so pumped, that before I knew it,  I had made a half a round more than my   exercise plan called for.  God is good.  There is nothing like serving him!

             2013-03-06  Hey, you forgot one!

Today, we started up Baseball with a brand new group of 1st and 2nd graders at the local elementary school.  It is always so exciting to work with kids.  After our first hour together, I closed in prayer; thanking God for each player by name, but just as I was about to say amen, a   young voice broke into my prayer and said," Hey, you forgot one; Nicolas.  That's me."So I stopped and interjected Nicolas in my prayer and apologized for forgetting him.  Kids are great!

Journaling about  witnessing identifies how much of your life is about the goal of God which in turn motivates, reminds you to pray for those you have witnessed to and encourages you to refocus on evangelism.

We have reserved our plane tickets for our furlough this summer.  For our family of 6, the total this time around is $7,025.  More than half of that cost has been paid for by our furlough savings account, but as you can imagine, with the rising travel costs, there is still a bit more to be covered.  If you feel God leading you or your church to help with this need, please contact us.

We are scheduling our furlough and have some appointments still available.  We have some openings in Ohio in July.  We are specifically in need of presenting our ministry to new churches that would be interested in investing in souls in Germany.  If you or someone you know would like to join our support team, please contact us about a summer 2013 appointment.
