Germany

This will be a short post to let you know what I'll be doing or with whom will I be involved while I'm in Germany... and how did it all come about...

On arrival to DC in February I felt God calling me to draw closer to Him, to seek His face. In doing so I discovered (in a way) a renewed calling to live by faith in a more abandoned way. To be like one of those men and women of the past- that I so like to read about- that have committed themselves so entirely unto God as to ask even their- very literal- daily bread from the Father's hand.

I asked God to give me some sort of sign, some sort of encouragement that this could still be done. (hahaha, yes, as if the Bible weren't enough)... someone that I could know of that their life could shout 'yes, child, be strong in the knowledge of His might. He who calls you is faithful. He can do according to His purpose. This IS what the normal Christian life truly does (can) look like.'

At the same time I was asking God about Europe. This desire I have to reach the whole continent... The furthest I've made it, ministry-wise, in Europe is England. 'God, will I ever get to go to continental Europe?' I had been studying a world map that is up in my room to get better acquainted with the area, Germany kept coming up but I didn't think much about it.

Then it happened. The dots connected. I was talking to a friend from England on the phone asking him about his plans for the Summer. 'I am going to Germany', he said, 'to seek God'. Lol... To make the long story short, he told me about this evangelical sisterhood in Germany- women that live by faith and most definitely not by sight. He told me a little bit about their story and how the sisterhood was founded at the end of World War 2. He explained how the sisters were opening their home for the month of August to young adults to come and spend time with them and get involved in their daily activities. Everything he said is everything I had been praying for, the kind of people I needed to meet. Then a few days later God confirmed I was to go, that He had prepared it and opened the way.

SO, I am going to Germany. I'll be there from 31st of July to the beginning of Sept. The name of the ministry is: The Sisterhood of Mary and you can check them out at- www.kanaan.org... they are amazing.
