Oftentimes we are asked the question, “Why Germany?” so we thought it would be\u00a0a good idea\u00a0to share this with you! Sometimes it is hard to really communicate feelings, emotions and experiences in a blog.\u00a0 So much\u00a0is experienced and challenged inside of us when we step outside of our normal surroundings. I, Phillip, experienced this during\u00a0my first trip to Germany.\u00a0 I was fortunate enough to have a cousin who lived in D\u00fcsseldorf and hosted\u00a0me so I could experience life in Germany for a week or so at a time for many consecutive summers.<\/p>\n

During\u00a0my\u00a0time in D\u00fcsseldorf, a city in the West Central part of the country,\u00a0I developed a love for the German people and culture.\u00a0 In some ways the country felt similar to\u00a0my own and at the same time, very different.\u00a0\u00a0I was exposed to new ideas, new ways of life and new people.\u00a0 Some of these people made a great impact on me. They\u00a0would later help\u00a0me develop a call to serve in Germany, even though, at the time, they were not aware. I shared these experiences\u00a0with Stephanie and in sharing, peaked her interest in Germany.\u00a0 In many ways both of us would be aware of how German themes would randomly surface in our lives and this would spark a desire for the country and its people.\u00a0 Throughout the entire search process, Germany was mentioned\u00a0as a possibility\u00a0and when the invitation to visit was issued, it seemed obvious that we had to go.<\/p>\n

After visiting Hamburg, meeting many committed believers and\u00a0witnessing countless\u00a0outreach organizations, we felt connected to the ministry being done in this country.\u00a0 The FeG (Free Evangelical Church of Germany) felt we could offer\u00a0much to the\u00a0team and promised to provide mentorship and supervision\u00a0as we develop our calling and giftedness.\u00a0 We look forward to learning more than we could have ever imagined, knowing God has placed us in Germany\u00a0intentionally. He delights in bringing our past together with our future and reveals that no\u00a0experience is ever wasted when we believe and obey God, trusting Him fully with our lives.<\/p>\n
