Soul Searching Needed in Germanic Countries

Prayer Requests — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 06:00:00 +0000

As a new year begins, people tend to look back on their lives and consider things that they would like to change.

Ask that they will seek the truth and embrace the Son as their Lord and Savior.

Advent in Germany

Prayer Requests — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 06:00:32 +0000

Advent is a special time of year as preparations for Christmas are made. In German-speaking countries, homes are decorated with lights, candles and ornaments, cookies are baked, and presents are purchased. Each week an additional candle is lit on the advents wreath and children eagerly open the “door” on their advents calendar each day to find a piece of chocolate or small present. Everyone is busy getting ready for the holiday, but most have missed the “Christ” in Christmas and don’t realize the real reason for celebrating this season. Intercede that this time of year will open doors for members of the GERMANIC CLUSTER to share the true meaning of the coming holiday. Ask that many Germans and Austrians will embrace the Son during Advent and welcome Him into their lives as Lord and Savior.

Fall of the Berlin Wall

Prayer Requests — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 06:00:42 +0000

Do you remember what happened on Nov. 9, 1989? This is a significant date in the history of Germany. On that night, the Berlin Wall that had been separating East and West Germany fell. East Germans piled into their Trabants – the only cars they could buy – and poured across the border into West Berlin, tasting freedom for the first time in 40 years. The West Germans welcomed them with a monetary gift and stores remained opened all night long so that East Germans could purchase longed-for items, such as chocolate bars and oranges, that were not regularly available on their side of the Wall. Citizens of the former GDR have enjoyed political freedom for over 20 years now, but the majority of them, along with their fellow Germans from the West, are continuing to live in spiritual captivity. Intercede with the GERMANIC CLUSTER that they will accept the free gift of salvation and experience true freedom in Christ. “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (Jn. 8:31 HCSB).

Witnessing in Berlin

Prayer Requests — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 06:00:01 +0000

Please pray for 2 young men, who have been accepted at a university in Berlin. Intercede that as TEAM BERLIN (GERMANIC CLUSTER) continues to witness to these two men, that the Father will soften their hearts and that they will come to see their need of a living Savior.
