This Past Weekend & Update

This past weekend after the evangelism class, my family and I headed up to Münster, Germany. It is about an hour and a half north or us. Around 9 months ago some friends of our started a church there in the city of Münster, seeking to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people in this city. Chris, the pastor of the church, asked me to teach for him on this particular Sunday while him and his family are visiting his family in Florida. So we drove up and joined the Ermert family and spent the weekend in there. What a blessed opportunity it was to spend the weekend with the Ermerts and to serve alongside them. The Ermerts are also from CC Herborn and serve here in the church. Antonia's (Emert) sister and brother-in-law are the ones that started the church in Münster.

This past Sunday was not just another Sunday, it was a special Sunday. It was Pfingsten (Pentecost)! What a honor it was to go and encourage these believers there in Münster in regards to the Holy Spirit and how He wants to work in our lives today! We look into the book of Joel and the book of Acts and focused on two major points. 1) That God said He would pour out His Spirit upon ALL flesh and 2) the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

I look forward to hear of the good things that God is going to do there in this city and how the Lord is going to use this new church plant to affect this city with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

UPDATE WITH MY DAD
Last night I had the opportunity to talk with my dad. In fact, I have been talking with him almost everyday since they have been back in California. He is still in the hospital and really having a rough time. He is now in isolation because his white blood cell count is really low. He is in a lot of pain and really is discouraged right now. I am very thankful that family and friends have been going by the hospital to go and visit him. I really wish I could, but I will have to trust the Lord in all of this.
I know that God is working and I am praying that my dad, whom I love so much, will really cry out to the Lord through all of this.
Please do continue to pray for my dad, as well as for my mom and my sisters through this time. Pray for health, healing, and restoration.
Thank you so much for your prayers!
