End of the Road (Bus Tour)

Hello everyone (to all who have prayed and supported us),

Our team is done and had an amazing final three days in Berlin and Chemnitz, Germany. We finished strong and our team was unified through the end. In our 21 days on tour and 12 locations we had over 4,100 people come through our bus or play in our street soccer unit. That does not count an estimated 10,000 people who walked by or received a a soccer-ministry DVD or Bible. We have had numerous follow-ups from the churches we worked with, one reporting up to 150 new FAMILY CONTACTS in their area due to our bus being in their communities. THIS is a HUGE PRAISE and help to the churches in Germany. Without your prayers and giving this would not be possible!

In the beginning of this tour we looked back to Paul and his four misionary journeys. We asked what made them successful? We discovered it was the quality of the company he took with him (God brought together and amazing team), the power he relied on (God and His Spirit versus our own strength), and the message he brought, (the gospel). We made these principles a point to remember and apply in all circumstances. At our debriefing dinner we all agreed that God had worked in our own lives as well as accomplishing the mission with the vision of the tour bus.

Please pray for the churches in Germany that the country that bore the reformation would again awaken and arise to something more then a World Championship but to their loving King, Jesus and that our small yet significant trip with our Bus would have eternal impact!

I am now traveling the country with two other AIA staff doing our own personal ministry which I will still update here till the end of the World Cup. As the German national team is still in the competition this gives the churches to continue their outreaches in continuing to show games in their churches and having special events, pray for these encounters to soften the hard reputation of Christians and the Church in the country!
