Church Growth: This can mean a lot of things, can’t it? The
growth of Converge International Fellowship in Darmstadt can be measured in a
number of ways. As a three-year old “toddler” church, we sometimes wobble a bit, but by God’s grace we are maturing in Him! One of them is the growth of mature leaders. It was a great
blessing to us to know that while we were gone for 8 weeks, the church was
under the capable leadership of our Elders, Ministry Coordinators and the
Church Council, who filled the pulpit and guided the continued ministry.
There was also a lot of growth in the congregation
while we were gone. We bid farewell to many of our faithful friends and members
earlier this year as their contracts for employment ended, or they graduated
from school. Thankfully, while we were
away, many new students and professionals became part of the church – we are
still getting to know many of them!
We had a Thanksgiving dinner for our
Thursday night LIFE Group, and after enjoying the meal, the group gathered in a
circle and shared their gratitude for God’s blessings. So many of them shared
how thankful they were for the “family” God had led them to in Darmstadt – and
we are thankful, too!
