Student Ministry Moving Forward!

Students Sophie (China), Eric (China) and Imants (Latvia)

Darmstadt is a city with a large student population, and that student body figures prominently in our ministry.  We’ve been blessed to welcome students from all over the world to the church.  Some come with a solid foundation in their faith, others have never been in a church before, and never heard the gospel.

 Thanks to a solid core of committed students in recent weeks the university group has begun to sense its calling and gain momentum in fulfilling its mission.  We hosted a movie night at our flat with a group of friends with authentic, amazing Indian food cooked in our kitchen by one of the men.  It was a great evening, and we were planning another before the night was done!

On a German holiday a couple of weeks later, as we were walking downtown, we came across a group of a dozen students who had spent the day together.  They had gone bowling, and were headed for some food when we saw them.  They introduced us to a new friend that had joined them for the day.  Later we learned that a couple of the students had spent much of the afternoon sharing the gospel with the young Vietnamese man.  They shared with us his excitement at hearing of God’s love for the first time!  The group has committed themselves to intentional evangelism and outreach as part of their ongoing activities. Pray for them!
