A Heartfelt Welcome

We have had a great week here in Münsterland! On Saturday Chris and Nada had a official "welcome to Münster" dinner party for us! It was a sweet time of fellowship. We played some games and ate some amazing food that Nada had prepared. Then Chris and some others laid hands on us and prayed for us and our ministry here. It was such a blessing!


Welcoming gifts people gave us! 


Our contract and keys
An awesome thing that happened this week...the Lord has provided us an apartment! Nada found this ad in the newspaper and we called the number, viewed the apartment and fell in love with it! Its perfect...close to Chris and Nada, to the city and a shopping center. Not to mention that it is in our budget! After a few days of prayer and the Lord giving the landlord peace about renting to us, Friday we signed our contract and Saturday we had our keys! The apartment is completely unfurnished, we already have some furniture but are in need of a kitchen. So please pray that we can find one! The Lord has been so faithful and it just blowing us all away at how He is providing! Here are some pictures of the new apartment...we will start working on it this week so that we can move in soon! We will post some "after" pictures later...

Today we did our first prayer walk through the city. It was a good time to get out explore and hear from the Lord about His heart for this city and these people. We actually made a few connections while we were out, which was really sweet! Here are a few shots I took while we were out:

As always....thank you all for your prayers and support! Its such a blessing to know that people our praying for us and the church plant here in Münster. We will be updating the current prayer requests on the "support info" page above. The Lord delights to hear the prayers of His children and we have the privilege of seeing your prayers answered in a real way! Blessings to you all!

  2. Amazing how the Lord provides even more than we can ask for. This place looks perfect for both living and ministering! Can't wait to see how the Lord uses that living room in particular:)
