Our First Bible Study...

We officially attended our first CC Münster Bible study the other night. Everyone meets in Chris and Nada's around 7:30ish on Wednesdays. This week was the first bi-lingual Bible study. Up until this point its all been in German but since there are now English speakers as well...it needs to be both. Paul led worship in both English and German (...he did a good job!) And Chris is teaching through the book of Romans with Nada translating for him. They just finished chapter five last night. Please continue to pray for the people attending on Wednesday nights and that would bring more people to hear His word and be encouraged!

Here's a few pics from the other night....

Paul and I went into the city today to meet up with our friend Valeska and our new friend Stella! We had a great time catching up and walking around Münster...here are some pictures we took!

Below: The Three Cages...this is where they would sentence people to death, so they would hang in there until they died and then the birds would eat their flesh...really crazy!!!

Right: Muenster is one of  the most bike friendly cities in Germany...this is a picture of the train station "parking lot". Seriously thousands of bikes!








Welp...thats it for now!

Let the journey begin!



So we are here in Germany...its so crazy that all one has to do is jump on a plane and then 6 hours later you are in a different country, speaking a different language. I always love that about traveling!

We arrived the morning of the 16th with no real delays, Chris was so kind to drive down and pick us up at the airport (which by the way was a six hour drive for him round trip). We are staying with Chris and Nada and their two adorable kids Simeon and Levi until we find a apartment of our own. They have been so kind to us...and are so greatful for their friendship. We got to spend a little time in the city on Friday...which I think we are going to love living in Muenster, its such a beautiful city! I didnt have my camera on me but we will go again soon and will post up some pics.

Sunday we attended a free evangelical church where Chris and Nada have been going. It was a great day, we met a lot of neat people. In the afternoon we went over to a family's house for lunch. And let me tell you...it was an awesome lunch! They were very hospitable and we had fun trying to communicate, since they didnt speak very much English and we dont speak very much German but luckly Chris and Nada are good translators...so it worked out!

Last night we had our first official "Calvary Chapel Münster" meeting. It was sweet...Chris casted the vision and shared his heart with us and then we had a time of prayer. We are so excited about what the Lord is going to do here in this city! We know that He desires to see the peoples lives changed, hearts awakened and true fellowship in Christ to happen. Already we both have experienced the Lord provision, blessing and peace in so many ways!

Well thats all for now, will write more later. Thank you all for all your prayers and support...the Lord is answering!!!
