It's been a few months . . .
Praise the Lord for all He has done since December!
Our church plant, the EGB (Eckstein-Gemeinde Berlin) has been blessed with a lot of growth. Churches in Germany grow very slowly and Berlin is no exception. People are wealthy, have good health care and the majority of people you meet on the street would say they don't believe in God in any way, shape or form. They celebrate their independence and sin like the rest of the sinful world. The growth we have experienced has largely been through many believers now able to attend our church because of the central location. Though rent is more expensive, it has enabled us to reach many fellow believers who didn't have a solid church up until this point. Our church music team has grown, our youth group has grown, our families have grown, singles have met each other, young and not so young couples have joined our church. We have seen a few individuals come to faith through the teaching of the Gospel. We truly have "10,000 reasons for our hearts to sing, bless the Lord, o my soul!"
