summer 2009 Willow
The summer this year was very busy and very varied. After the youth conference in Nuremberg, it was 2 weeks later to Lörrach to the Swiss border (near Basel), where I completed a sentence as a coach play days A in Lörrach (17th-23.05) with the national team of youth groups in the city. Particularly impressed me was the cooperation of different communities with the aim of the youth in their city to invest and to tell them about Jesus Christ.
Then the Sports Camp Church of the Awake on the Costa Brava in Spain (1st 14:07) ! With the trailer first time 2 days with Sandy and Noi Herten to the campsite to Spain ... It was the ne long journey! :-( site then with 60 young people of the Church Awake 2 weeks in a tent instead of 500 other young people lived and enjoyed the luxury features huge 5-star place (1000 Liege-places) in sun, beach and pool life, community and God. For me this free time a special time for the youth of the Church Awake was to get to know even better. Leisure was tough (as a leisure time is now :-) but very good. Looking forward to God's work in time, the conversations and that in the end all well again at home :-) After the bus ended up with the participants are then Sandy, Noi and I went to the house: with non-stop after 19 h, the RV arrived and fell into bed exhausted.
thrown off all sandy clothes in the washing machine and Nine back in the south to Munich to the Stanberger lake Word of Life (20.-31.07) . My job was as a Bible teacher of the "youth-2" respectively to hold the morning Bible study for young people. We enjoyed a family perhaps the most beautiful property on Lake Starnberg in the castle of WDL - great! Participants will have it directly to the palace by the sea also caught good :-)
WDL is for me the best leisure provider in Germany: very good program, great food, great atmosphere, great location, great team! Was very excited some of these leisure destination.
From Munich we went to the farewell barbecue for the Arts Offenburg to Teenstreet (1st-8.08) . 2000 young people from across Eurpa have come to the fairgrounds for a week long life and faith to share. In the sports times, it was my responsibility, the sports equipment's days with the sports team to support. 1993 TeenStreet was first held in Germany, with just 56 people. Today, more than 2,000 teenagers and some employees from across Europe - Hammer! TeenStreet combines the big main events, attended by all teens, with Bible study in small groups and personal attention for every teenager, so no one gets lost in the crowd. Cool concept!
The last two summer missions for me were the Play Days in Steinhagen (11th-16.08) and shortly after, in Remscheid- Lüdringhausen (17th-23.08) . Steinhagen was something like a home game since I completed already last year with a play Steinhage underground use.
The team is really cool and we could build on already formed relationships with young people immediately. Addi and his team have taken over the whole year period and are The youths from the town of care. Most of the visitors we knew at the end of the week by name, that was something very special.
The summer was pretty awesome, but also very good. I thank God for his work in time and letting me be a part of it.
