Team Global

Team Global, formally known as AIA North America, ministered in Berlin and Chemnitz. The team decided to rename themselves when they found out they truly were an international team. The team consisted of soccer players from New Zealand, Romania, Germany, England, and the United States. They came together and were unbeatable.

Berlin- The team was in Berlin from June 14-19th. They worked with Rock Berlin; a young church seeking to reach their community.

The following is an email from Dave Lennander, pastor of Rock Berlin:

I wanted to send you our thanks for coming to Berlin and serving with us. I was so encouraged by the quality of your lives and the attitudes of your hearts. You came to proclaim Jesus but you did it with a servant’s mindset. You helped us use the World Cup to have a special outreach in our neighborhood. I believe that the ultimate fruit will only be revealed in eternity.

When I got back to Berlin last Tuesday, I went right to the public showing we had at Rock Berlin. I got in on the last 2 minutes of the Germany game. As I scanned the room, I noticed Candy and about 8 of the teens from the pick up games you had a the parks watching this afternoon game. Candy and his girlfriend came back on Saturday for the game and stayed for some of the worship. My wife Sandy got to introduce him to a professional player from I think the Level 2 that was visiting our church. The teens came back on Saturday night as well and brought friends. Over the last few games, florence figured we had 20 different kids flow through our facility from your outreach in the parks. Please pray that we would be wise in how to keep contact once the World Cup is over and that we would know how to effectively connect with their lives to show and communicate Jesus to them.

I know you invested a lot of time and money to come to Germany. But I know our God and the benefit to your lives will far outweigh the costs. As you spread out to your schools and jobs I trust that you have a deeper commitment to the Lord and His Great Commission. May you have a fruitful summer and fall season. It was our privilege to host you. You enriched our lives. Thank you!
