We arrived safely in Hamburg on Thursday of last week. We hit the ground running with full days Friday and Saturday. We helped teach English to first and second graders, went to a Christian youth center and hung out with the kids there, helped a ministry that gives immigrant children a place to play and learn, saw the city of Hamburg, and went to a house church on Sunday :) on Saturday my friend, Tabea, who I met in Nepal but is from Germany, came and visited till sunday so that was really great to see her!
It has been really eye opening being here--the staff here tell us that Hamburg is less than 2% Christian. Parts of Europe are even worse than that, making many places qualify as unreached. The German people are great but are not super open to talking to eager Americans ;) I am excited though because this week we are going back several times to the places we've already been so we will hopefully see the same people again. This week will also include at least one trip to one of the red light districts here. Please pray for us as we go back to these ministries, that we would connect with people and that we would bring Life wherever we go. Also pray the God would increase the laborers in Europe.
Thank you all SO much for your prayers and support!!
