Darmstadt: God is up to something here!


When we first felt God’s prompting to go to Germany, it became clear that Darmstadt was the city He intended us to work in.  As we shared the vision for planting an international, English-language church, lots of people were excited about it, but many asked, “Why Darmstadt? Certainly there were and are larger and more influential cities in Germany…”

Well, God is definitely up to something here!  Check out these recent developments:
·         Hessen (the German state we are located in) has been identified as the fastest growing state in Germany, and Darmstadt as the fastest growing city in the state.
·         The European Union issued a report on the “Regional Competitive Index” of the entire European Continent, and Darmstadt was listed as number 7 – ahead of Paris and Copenhagen!
·         And, most exciting to us, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, when determining where in Europe to come and hold a campaign, has selected Darmstadt!  Preliminary work is being done to welcome Franklin Graham to the city in 2015!
We invite you to join us in this exciting mission to reach the world through the planting of international churches in this strategic city in Central Europe.  If the Lord moves you to partner with us, here’s what you can do:
