Dear Friends,
For several years now I (Jason) have been the German field leader for Greater Europe Mission along with a team of three others. This is in addition to the church planting and evangelism that we do. It has been said that leading missionaries is like trying to herd cats and to some extent I agree. It takes independent people who follow God's call, many times with resistance from their own family, who then go through the humbling, painful and faith-stretching ordeal of raising their own support, moving to another country and learning the language and culture and then, with God's help, forge a new ministry and new partnerships. These are the kind of people I have the privilege of leading in Germany. I am humbled and very proud to be serving God with them. In this prayermail, I would like to introduce you to them:

Here is a photo from our spring field retreat. Not everyone was present as some were in the USA on Home Ministry Assignment.
God is using this exceptional group of people to expand His kingdom in Germany, Europe and beyond. In the last 6 months hundreds of people have been discipled. At least 10 new evangelistic Bible studies have started and at least 3 new churches have been planted in Germany. People are coming to faith. That is exciting! Please pray for us. Pray that God would break through the spiritual darkness in Germany even more and that His Kingdom would come in new and vibrant ways.
Pray for Germany as a country. As the most powerful economy in Europe, Germany is very influential in the world. Its economy, education, politics, philosophies and culture shape modern life and thought. Imagine what would happen if that influence could be harnessed to extend God's Kingdom in the world.
Germany is amazingly connected and therefore one of the most strategic mission fields in the world. Through it's diverse population and activities, Germany has connections with individuals and cultures from around the globe. Economic migration from other EU countries, plus an influx of immigrants from 10/40 window countries, create unprecedented opportunities to disciple the nations.
Germany is needy. That's right... needy. Not in material terms, but morally and spiritually, Germany is adrift and in need of an anchor. It is filled with churches - often empty, abandoned or converted into museums, restaurants and shops. Take away the beautiful church buildings and you'll be hard-pressed to see any hints of Christianity. Sadly, most Germans don't have a life-changing relationship with Jesus or know anyone who does.
We are committed to seeing God's Kingdom spread throughout Germany, Europe and to the world as we follow Jesus and lead others to do the same.
Thank you for standing with us.
