Dear Friends,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It is heartbreaking seeing the destruction, devastation, loss of life, and displacement of families taking place because of the war in Ukraine. We are sure the heart of God is broken over all that is happening too.<\/p>\n

Many of our Eastern European colleagues are on the front lines providing transportation and care for refugees, mostly women and children. Some have been taken to safe havens in Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, and Romania. Even our church in Berlin has become a place of refuge for some of those fleeing Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Germans and Belgians where we live and serve share their concerns over this war and the future of Europe. Some older Germans are afraid. In our conversations, we are able to share the greatest message of all, hope for all times through faith in God and His son, Jesus Christ - our living unfailing hope!<\/p>\n

Germany has welcomed over 140,000 refugees fleeing from Ukraine. Many of these are young women who are vulnerable to human trafficking. We are still faithfully reaching into the darkest corners of our world where the vulnerable, victims, and survivors of sexual exploitation live and work. Thank you for helping us shine the Light of God's Love and Hope!<\/p>\n

EUPEN CHURCH PLANT UPDATE<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Julien<\/a>Meet our new team members, the Julien Family. Conor and Larissa have completed their Bible School training and have been serving as youth pastors at Fountain of Life Church in London. They will be moving to Eupen next month and will begin serving as the pastors of Die Br\u00fccke Church. Because Larissa is German, from an EU country, they are able to live in Belgium. God has already provided them with a nice apartment right in the heart of Eupen, just a two-minute walk from the church. Having boots on the ground right in our target city will strengthen the work and make a great difference in evangelism and \"connect group\" efforts.<\/p>\n

The timing of their coming has been perfect. Our three-year term will end in May, and we begin our furlough on June 1. Despite visa issues, health issues, the pandemic, and the flood, we thank God that He has been with us. He has been faithful to provide for all of our needs and for every need of this new church plant too. Dear friends, thank you for your love, prayers, and generosity in giving! We love you and pray that God will bless you and meet all of your needs - physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.<\/p>\n

QUERIDOS AMIGOS,<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>

Es primavera en Alemania, todo vuelve a ser verde y el ciclo de la vida comienza de nuevo. Al igual que usted y las personas de todo el mundo, nos enfrentamos a nuevos desaf\u00edos para adaptarnos a la pandemia del virus Corona. Nuestra oraci\u00f3n por ti es: "Que Dios te prospere y te mantenga en buena salud, incluso mientras prospera tu alma". <\/p>

Aunque ha estado en vigor una orden de quedarse en casa, el gobierno alem\u00e1n permite a las personas salir afuera para necesidades esenciales como alimentos, combustible e incluso ejercicio (por supuesto, entendiendo que seguir\u00e1 las regulaciones de distanciamiento social). <\/p>

EVANGELISMO EN BICICLETA<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>

Una cosa que disfruto hacer es lo que llamo "Evangelismo en bicicleta". Justo detr\u00e1s de nuestro apartamento hay un carril bici que recorre 75 millas a lo largo de una antigua l\u00ednea de ferrocarril. Cientos de personas viajan en esta avenida todos los d\u00edas. Mientras conduc\u00eda por la avenida, Dios me ha dado la oportunidad de compartir el evangelio con muchos ciclistas que se han detenido a descansar en el camino. Ofrezco orar por la gente y luego darles un "Evangelio de Juan". Esta buena semilla, creo, caer\u00e1 en buenos corazones y producir\u00e1 fe en Cristo. \u00a1Su Palabra no volver\u00e1 vac\u00eda! <\/p>

ESTUDIO B\u00cdBLICO PARA REFUGIADOS EN B\u00c9LGICA<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>

En enero comenzamos un estudio b\u00edblico semanal con una pareja paquistan\u00ed que vive en un centro de refugiados de la Cruz Roja en nuestra ciudad objetivo, Eupen, B\u00e9lgica. Antes del encierro, cada jueves, ten\u00edamos momentos preciosos para conocernos, comer juntos, estudiar la Palabra y orar juntos. Las fronteras de B\u00e9lgica se cerraron a mediados de marzo. Como vivimos en Alemania, ahora no podemos cruzar la frontera para estar juntos. Continuamos alentando y compartiendo devocionales y escrituras a trav\u00e9s de Internet y esperamos que se levanten las restricciones y estemos juntos nuevamente. <\/p>

LA ESQUINA DE JEANNIE ~
BELLEZA PARA LAS CENIZAS - DIFUSI\u00d3N EN EL DISTRITO DE LA LUZ ROJA<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>

El barrio rojo de Aquisgr\u00e1n ha estado cerrado durante m\u00e1s de un mes. Algunas de las mujeres regresaron a sus pa\u00edses de origen para estar con sus familias durante este tiempo de distanciamiento social. <\/p>

Sin embargo, muchos otros est\u00e1n encerrados con sus proxenetas, donde contin\u00faan siendo explotados en l\u00ednea y se ven obligados a trabajar en lugares y situaciones horribles e inseguras. Muchas ni\u00f1as son alojadas juntas, obligadas a trabajar, por lo que est\u00e1n expuestas a enfermedades y abusos. Ore por su seguridad y salud, f\u00edsica, emocional y espiritualmente. <\/p>

LANZAMIENTO DE UN NUEVO ALCANCE EN L\u00cdNEA<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>

"Si los clientes pueden encontrar mujeres publicitando en Internet, \u00a1nosotros tambi\u00e9n podemos!" Incluso antes de la pandemia, ha habido un aumento en la publicidad en l\u00ednea para la prostituci\u00f3n. En febrero, Jeannie asisti\u00f3 a un "Taller de divulgaci\u00f3n en l\u00ednea" para aprender c\u00f3mo los dem\u00e1s son efectivos usando herramientas modernas que tenemos a nuestra disposici\u00f3n (computadora, Internet y mensajes de texto por tel\u00e9fono) Escuchamos de formas exitosas de comunicarnos eficazmente con las damas, organizar horarios \/ formas para luego reunirse con ellas, dar una canasta de regalos y compartir el amor de Cristo. <\/p>

FIN DE SEMANA "CONSTRUYENDO UN ALTAR"<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>

En marzo, antes del cierre, pudimos organizar dos eventos especiales para mujeres. Nuestra oradora invitada, Barb Swanson, Victory Church OKC, nos anim\u00f3 y desafi\u00f3 a cada uno de nosotros a trav\u00e9s de la Palabra de Dios y con su propio testimonio de lucha y superaci\u00f3n victoriosa de los desaf\u00edos que todos enfrentamos. \u00a1Fue un momento muy especial para todos! Gracias por sus oraciones durante el "Caronatime". Esto tambi\u00e9n pasar\u00e1. \u00a1Recuerda que eres un vencedor a trav\u00e9s de Cristo que te fortalece! <\/p>
