Outreach
We had to postpone our outreach Picnic by a week due to rain, but on the following weekend, we had over 75 come out to the picnic at a local german baseball field.

Many invited friends and neighbors to come out for some fun, BBQ, baseball and volleyball and to get to know our church family.





Visitors
Even during the 6 week School Summer vacation (July-August), we continued to have visitors every week. Many visitors would return bringing other visitors with them.


Our pastor, Jim Stady, from Bible Baptist in Gulfport, MS, along with his wife, Kim and daughter, Jordan visited us the end of September for a few days. We enjoyed getting to know them and introducing them to a some of those attending our church and showing them a bit of Germany.




Health Update
William has been having some chest pains since being diagnosed with Blood clots for the 7th time this Spring. They ran a CT on his lungs and that came back clear. They decided to check his heart to see if there was any blockage. This required a heart catheter to be done. Because he is on blood thinner, they had to get his blood clotting levels back up to 50% before they could perform this test. He was hospitalized for monitoring for 8 days before they could do the heart catheter. As the Doctor prepared him for the catheter, injected the dye and took some pictures, he was amazed to see there was no blockage whatsoever!! He said his job was done, and William could go home the next morning.


Heidi fractured her right foot after Stefan got home from the hospital when she tried to play with his crutches and fell down two steps.

Thank you so much for all your prayers and financial support to support the Lord’s work here in Darmstadt! Please pray that many churches will have the ability to raise our monthly support or to start supporting us financially.

Serving Together,

William and Kathleen Busch
