Intercede with members of the GERMANIC CLUSTER that people living in Germanic countries will have a renewed desire to really read God’s Word, not just accepting what other people say about it. Ask that eyes will be opened to the relevance of the Word in the world today. May it be the living and active Word that we know it to be.
The STUDENT TEAM (GERMANIC CLUSTER) is seeking to multiply small evangelistic groups among collegiate students in Braunschweig. At the moment they have 2-3 groups meeting weekly that they hope will be the “mother-ships” that “spin off” two more groups for a total of five. Intercede for student leaders in all 3 cities – Hamburg, Braunschweig and Jena – to make leading a small group a priority, to have good time management and hearts for their lost friends.
On Wed., Nov. 30, the first volunteer group arrived to assist with the live nativity (Dec. 4-24) in Brühl, Germany. They prepared the evangelistic packets and opened the live nativity, children’s pavilion and marionette theater. Intercede for much fruit from the receiving of the written materials, including the book of John, and the many conversations that the NATIONAL TRAINING TEAM (GERMANIC CLUSTER) anticipates.

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.
