“Last month our church ran a Kids’ Retreat Program for a church in Cham, Germany. It was our third year in a row at that location. Going back this year I ran into a familiar face. Michael is a local farmer who asked for prayer last year because he was almost blind. Along with three teens from our church, I prayed for him. He instantly noticed a difference in his ability to see. Blinking in shock, he said, ‘It’s a bit better.’ An hour later he was saying, ‘It’s much better!’ We left that day knowing God was at work.
“So seeing him again this year I was naturally curious to know how he was doing. And the answer was, ‘Just fine. I only need reading glasses like any 50 year old.’
“Many people still doubt the message of the Gospel and the power of Jesus, but Michael’s story, among many others, is just one more proof that Jesus is alive and well, and that the Holy Spirit is touching lives on a regular basis all over the world. ‘And [Jesus] answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” (Luke 7: 22)
“Blessed is the one who is not offended by Jesus. Because if you’re not too busy being offended by him, you’ll certainly be busy being astounded by him! “
Church planters, Steve and China Walent, serving in Germany, tell of the transformed life of Gabriella. She was one of 4 people baptized recently. Gabriella accepted the Lord as her savior in 2009 and has been part of the ‘Discovery Group’ since then. She comes from a broken home where she was beaten often as a child. That led to her putting on a hard facade to protect herself from more hurt. As it often goes though, she ended up in an abusive relationship and has suffered much during the last 15 years.
AGWM Personnel in Germany, Mike Tyler tells of many ways the Lord is working in lives and bringing them into fellowship with himself and believers in church plants. Lukas (18) invited his buddy Florian (19) to come to church. His response was, "I'd rather die than go to church." But the conversation was started, and a few weeks later Florian did come to church. He loved the community, and the fellowship, and came back a second time.
German pastor Gerhard had been asking God to send him new partners in ministry. AGWM Personnel, Mike Tyler, is a part of the answer to that prayer. Mike states that he felt called to come to the region about the time Gerhard was seeking God for such help. Not long after the Tylers committed to coming, a family from Argentina sensed the same call. They’ll be arriving next month to begin working with the Go Church.
