September and October will be busy months. Please pray for us as we continue fostering church planting in our region in order to reach even more Germans for Christ.
ALLEGRO
Allegro, a hand bell quartet from Calvary Church in Longmont, Colorado, where I served as Minister of Music many years ago, will be here from September 2-11. God has opened many doors for us. They will be playing and giving their testimonies in various venues: Schools, market squares, churches, in a hospital, etc. It will be a strenuous week. Pray for stamina, joy and many new contacts for the kingdom!
PROCHRISTMOBIL
This is an innovative evangelistic concept in Germany. 100 leased “Smart” cars are traveling throughout the country from May-March. (The “Smart” is a very small 2-seater - a joint venture of DaimlerChrysler and Swatch). On the side of the car
it says “The smallest church in the World”. The reports from other cities have been encouraging. People’s curiosity gets the best of them and the drivers are given multiple opportunities to share the gospel simply by parking a group of them on the market square or in a busy pedestrian shopping area. Please pray for me as I am scheduled to drive from Sep. 26-Oct. 2 in Cologne and Oct. 10-16 in the Freiburg/Basel area. Pray for good contacts and open hearts for the Gospel. Please also pray for safety and good weather! I will let you know how it goes.
HENNEFMonday, August 22 was a historic day for the city of Hennef as the team that Wolfgang and Petra have gathered together for the church plant there had their first meeting. It was so cool to hear how God had been preparing these four couples for this venture. I admire their courage and faith in spite of the uncertainty and apprehension that they are feeling. It is good that I can be there for them. I will be meeting with them on a bi-weekly basis for the next several months as they get started. Pray especially that God would mold them into a loving fellowship that is unified and committed to the Lord, to one another and to the lost people all around them.
SPARK
The motivational seminar continues to take shape. The editing work is extremely tedious but I remain excited about this project. Please continue to pray about funding for the equipment I will need to be able to take it into German churches: portable sound system, screen and projector (total needed is $8000). We have received a matching grant of $4000 and the first $1500 has come in. Perhaps you would like to help us with the final $2500 needed. Please let us know.
Thankfully,

A PS from Roy: Dear Family and Friends, Poland was an immense learning experience. Not only was I able to be a blessing to the children in Tomaszow and Zakosciele, but the children were a blessing to me, too. The first week our team carried out the Imagin'Air (learning
English) program in the City Center in Tomaszow for the poor children of the neighborhood, most of whom came from broken families. The second week we were part of a sports camp in Zakosciele. This was a greater challenge, since the kids were a bit too old for the material we had, but with God's grace and help we were still able to reach out to them telling about and showing them the love of God. I want to say thank you to all who prayed and supported me. This trip was a true experience with God and another culture. Without your help it would not have been possible.Thank you,
Roy
