Dear Friends,
These are the first 4 lines of the lord's prayer - hanging on the side of a bookshelf in Jason’s pastorenatelier next to his dad's favorite fishing lure (rapala!) and a set of angel wings (you never know when they may come in handy ;-). Recently, after one of the english conversation group meetings, S asked him why he has those sentences hanging there. She recognised them from her childhood. He told her that some time ago we had some church meetings here where we unpacked those sentences one word at a time, starting with “Vater”. What does it mean for us to know that we have a heavenly father? What is heaven like? There are so many aspects of that prayer that we can talk about. She seemed truly interested as they chatted for a few more minutes and he invited her to check out our bible study group. Please pray for S and the others in the group, that the Lord would continue to draw them to himself.
Jason has been able to set a date to perform the concert in the well-known location that is the home of the men's choir. Having Sebastian accompany him is an answer to prayer - one of the best jazz pianists around - who had played countless times in our church services. Please pray for them as they prepare these songs of love, life and faith. Pray that God would give Jason the right words to say in his comments between songs.
Also, we are looking for people to sponsor this event financially. The budget is $2500. We just need 5 people to contribute $500. Here is our giving link. Please let us know if you want to get behind this special outreach.
Gratefully,
Jason and Sue
