    Since 1999, we are part of a network of House Churches that is expressed in various groups. Once a month, we meet in our house for half a day of fellowship, worship, lots of coffee, prayer and food.

Great weekend in Germany

This was fun in Germany. I spent the Saturday with 40 leaders, pastors and elders of a German denomination - all men and women who want to move forward and change something about the way the do church in the future.

Then 2 nights with my Brother Hans-Werner and his wife Barbara - enjoying church with them, visiting my parents' cemetery place, going out and enjoying a movie. Great time!

Then, on Monday, we had the second German Church Planting Leaders' Round Table in Frankfurt. After some discussion on paragraphs, vision and strategy, we felt that this is going to be a very valuable tool. Planting new churches in Germany is just not only one denomination's thing - so sitting at a table, complementing and learning from each other makes real sense.

Returned home late night - great travelling thanks to the German ICE's.

God to here about the German CPLRT in Frankfurt.
Sounds like a step forward into a national/regional focus.
Looking forward to meet you in Kristiansand
