Journey in Germany

You wait to grow up, and then here it is. You wait to finish middle school, and you're in high school. You wait to finish high school, and then, you finish high school, you wait to be independent, waiting for a moment, or a feeling or an emotion, but then all of a sudden, you're there.

It was an emotional moment when I hugged my mom in the airport Monday afternoon and took the first steps towards a new adventure. I teared up just a little bit (mainly because my mom is just the bomb). As I waited at my gate for a flight into the unknown, I had so many emotions surging through me. I wish I could bottle them up and put them into words. It's like your parents prepare you all of your life for this moment..growing up, and then you're there. Walking away from that life into the next phase. It was such an adrenaline rush. It's in that moment that God defines you into YOU. You have to make decisions for yourself..not always having someone to turn to.

My time in Frankfurt so far has been amazing so far. Abbi and Jared Wensyel have opened me into the adorable apartment with open arms, making my move very smooth. The church planters here explained to me their vision yesterday and I was very very impressed and excited for the gospel movement that is happening here. Frankfurt reminds me much of Calgary in that it's very post-modern and relativist. "Whatever works for you is good for you."

Over the weeks I think a challenge for me will be sharing the Gospel. The church here practices that so well through parties, small groups, coffee time in shops. This is a stretch for me though!

I have found that one of the people in this church plant is interested in ending human trafficking. We talked on Tuesday and have decided to do something about it. Pray for whatever could come that could shine light on ending slavery here in Frankfurt. I am excited about what God is doing here. Stay tuned for more details, stories, and pictures!

Is it really real? Week 3 in Germany

Image
     Experiencing other cultures is vitally important to your faith, in my opinion. It pulls you out of your comfort zone, (Which is totally cliché right now, but think about it. You’re literally in a zone of the world and you need to physically get out of it) and pushes you to see how other people around the world do things.       In a world that is becoming postmodern I have learned to cherish my values, to cling to the body of Christ, to abandon legalism in order to truly understand the Gospel, to be open to different doors God may be opening, to think before I speak, and to understand that Gospel credibility to other people is through my relationships with other people (how I love them).      I have seen a different, but just as able way to do church. I have recognized how real the Gospel is and how worthy it is of my entire life. I have been to some of the latest, biggest parties I’ve ever experie...

Stubborn man given NEW life in a matter of minutes.

There is power in the name of Jesus. I have never seen it like I did that day. It was our free day, with not much to do. Earlier, we had passed a big hindu temple on the side of the red hills, and then into a small village that looked untouched by the mzungus. Some of the team had mentioned how it would be really interesting to go to that village for a day, so we went! As we climbed out of the too-small-van onto the staining dirt roads, we prayed for His will to be done. Whatever it was, to let Grace fall on these people. And it did. It was like fire spreading. And it was fire spreading; we dispersed immediately in all directions, carrying the news of redemption, salvation, life with us, hoping to give it away. Nathan, Nick, Maggie, one of the interns, and I started walking down a path worn down by bare feet and skinny, deprived legs. A couple of uninterested, non-english speaking children walked up to us, said a couple words and then went on their way. By this point Nathan h...

Goodbye 'Murica, Hey Germany!

If you know me at all, you know I love to travel. What an adventure I am about to be a part of! I graduated high school in December (2014). I made that decision in September to finish early because I had enough credits and then I was hoping to travel somewhere or get an internship somewhere local/domestic in the Spring semester (2015). However, I just kinda put it off because it was so far in the future. I met with our missions pastor at Calvary to see what opportunities were available. I wanted to serve the church and not just do what I wanted to do. He mentioned missionaries that Calvary had in Lebanon, Germany, Calgary, and India. After prayer and consideration and a couple emails, we decided that Germany would be really feasible to pursue because of a missionary connection that our head pastor had with the church planter there. Because apartments and living spaces are small in Germany (especially the city, Frankfurt), housing was a bit difficult to find and because we notifie...
