Tracts, Tracts and more Tracts!

Having started our day with the "breakfast of champions" a combination of nougat pockets and schoko musli (delicious chocolate cereal) we were ready to pound the pavement. The team met at Treffpunkt, and Cary Green gave a devotional on Mark 4:1-20 and Steve led us in songs of worship. We were a little concerned, however, if we were even able to go out into the neighborhood because it was really wet and windy. But the rain let up so we stuffed our bags and went out. We took the bus and delivered tracts into areas in which no teams have ever gone before. The weather was extremely windy all day, though it came close, not one tract was blown away. Everyone was very excited to be passing out the tracts, but Steve gets the award for most ambitious because he stuffed his bag with 9 bundles of tracts (each bundle containing 100 tracts)! At the end of the day, we went back to our host families for dinner. We will be back at it again tomorrow.

Stay tune for our next update! =)

The Next Day

Today we pounded the pavement with the tracts once again, praying that the people here in Berlin would respond to the gospel message inside. All together we were out and about for 5 hours, walking from building to building and ringing many doorbells. Thankfully, many of the mailboxes were outside the apartment complexes which means: easy access!!! After a delicious lunch prepared by Bea, we said our farewells to the Grosjean family. They will be traveling to Switzerland with a few members of Bibelgemeinde Berlin for a camping trip. We will back at it again tomorrow!! Thanks for reading!!
