Response to Godʼs Word
Stefan got involved with playing “American Football” for the German league in our town. Through going to his practices with him, we began to meet other parents. One family attended our Thanksgiving Service the end of November. We do all our special services in English and German. Our oldest son, Willi, translates the message into German.
Review of Godʼs Working
We moved to Darmstadt the middle of July. Since our arrival through the end of December, we have had over 60 first time visitors with a high attendance of 44. The Christmas Eve service was well attended with 10 first time visitors. Our New Years Eve service saw 35 in attendance!
One young german man, who had been going to the Mormon church, accepted Christ in November and has presented himself for baptism. He also expressed the desire for more bible training for ministry.
In January, we will start offering the first of a set of Bible Seminar Series. The first one will help people to understand what the Bible teaches about the church, what our church believes and teaches. We want to help people understand that we are not a cult, to better understand our stand on the Bible and what we believe. We have an International Church with people coming from all different backgrounds, and they need to be taught what it means to be a member of a Baptist Church.

Pray for us and the work here in Darmstadt, that it might continue to grow and that Christ will be glorified.
Thank you for your faithful support and prayers:
Serving Together,
William, Kathleen and Family
