This past weekend we were extremely blessed to have Jon Bauer and a worship team with him from Southern Germany. This was now Jon's 2nd Germany tour and we were privileged to be a part of it! Last year when we had Jon out, I missed it because I was getting out of the hospital that day from my shoulder surgery, so we were really stoked to be apart of the day this year!
Since our contact last year, we have stayed in touch throughout the year, and so when Jon got a hold of me and said that he was coming back, I let him know that I would help him out in any way possible. He ended up doing a 10 day tour of Germany and went to 7-8 different churches. The last church that he came to was ours! (save the best for last - haha) This year he had a worship team join him from Southern Germany! They too were such a blessing!
There was truly an excitement within the church this past weekend as many of the people really enjoy Jon! The church was completely packed and we had to have others sit in the overflow (coffeebar) so that they could at least sit down! There were others of us sitting along the side on stools and many of the young kids came into the service as well and were sharing seats just to be able to sit down! To say the least, God really blessed the service and many people were ministered to! May the LORD truly receive all of the glory and honor for this day!
Here are a few pics from the morning service...

One of the other blessings that took place this past weekend is that we as a church had the opportunity to pray over Ronja Fritzsche as she will be going to Jamaica for 6 months with YWAM! The amazing thing about this is the fact that Jon Bauer was there for this day. Why do I bring this up? Because last year Jon and Ronja had a conversation about her desire to go to Jamaica and Jon had brought to her attention the ministry of YWAM that is going on in Jamaica and from that point on she began to pray and seek the Lord if He would have her go!
The Lord has really been working in Ronja's life these past two years, as she just gave her life to the Lord in January of 2009. Since that time her life has been transforming and she has been growing in her faith! We are excited for Ronja and look forward to what the Lord will continue to do in and through her over these next 6 months in Jamaica!
PLEASE DO KEEP HER IN YOUR PRAYERS!
