McClung Connection<\/p>\n
by Mark &\u00a0Jeannie McClung<\/p>\n
Today I\u2019m writing this letter while sitting outdoors in a park, looking at a beautiful blue North Carolina sky, and feeling a spring breeze cooling my face.\u00a0 Our furlough here in the USA will soon be over.\u00a0 World Missions has given us the green light to return to Berlin on June 15th.\u00a0 Jack will soon complete the 8th grade.\u00a0 He has especially enjoyed his time playing football, basketball and soccer for the Southern Middle School Tigers.
\nIt has been our pleasure to see many of you again during our furlough, visiting your local church or meeting in your homes.\u00a0 Missions is a team effort and we thank God for you and your investment in our ministry in Germany.\u00a0 Your prayers and faithful giving have enabled us to share the Gospel in Germany since 1989.\u00a0 May God bless and reward you for advancing His Kingdom!
\nGermany will look a little different when we arrive back in June.\u00a0 Last year, 2015, Germany opened its doors to 1.1 million new refugees; most of these coming out of war torn Syria.\u00a0 Refugee centers have sprung up all over Berlin, one just a few doors down from Jack\u2019s school.\u00a0 A pastor friend in Berlin told me there are 4 new refugee centers within a 1\/2 mile radius of his church.\u00a0 Most of the refugees are Muslim who naturally bring their Islamic faith and culture with them.
\nWe see the influx of refugees as both an opportunity and a risk. It will give us the opportunity to share Jesus with Muslims in Germany where there is still freedom to evangelize. I plan to distribute hundreds of Gospel of John booklets printed in Arabic.\u00a0 The risk is that the threat of terrorism has greatly increased.
\nOur goal of evangelism and church planting remain the same.\u00a0 We are looking to open a\u00a0 Coffeehouse\/ministry center\u00a0 to begin our new term.\u00a0 Also, please join us in prayer for the formation of a strong core group to begin a new church plant.\u00a0 We are trusting God to build His Church and for His will to be done in the start-up phase of our new 4 year term.
\nJeannie continues to amaze me with her multitasking abilities as mother, grandmother, wife and missionary.\u00a0 She will continue to lead Christian Women of Berlin and serve with the Alabaster Jar ministry team, an outreach to trafficked (sexually exploited) women in the red light district of Berlin.\u00a0 Alabaster Jar\u2019s mission is to rescue women enslaved in the sex-trade industry in Berlin.\u00a0 Women are being set free through the power of the Gospel and finding new life in Christ.\u00a0 Alabaster Jar also helps rescued women with needs like housing, medical care, language, legal and immigration issues,\u00a0 job skills and training.
\nOnce again, THANK YOU for partnering with us in sharing the Good News in Germany.\u00a0 We will give you our new home address in our next newsletter.\u00a0 In the meantime, you can write to us by e-mail at markmcclungwmm@aol.com\u00a0 or send letters to us at IPHC WMM, P.O. Box 12609, Oklahoma City, OK. 73157\u00a0 Please write us and let us know how things are going in your life.\u00a0 We will keep you in our prayers.<\/p>\n

Conexi\u00f3n McClung<\/p>\r\n
por Mark y Jeannie McClung<\/p>\r\nHoy estoy escribiendo esta carta mientras est\u00e1 sentado al aire libre en un parque, mirando a un hermoso cielo azul de Carolina del Norte, y la sensaci\u00f3n de una brisa de primavera de enfriamiento mi cara. Nuestra licencia aqu\u00ed en los EE.UU. pronto habr\u00e1 terminado. Misiones mundo nos ha dado la luz verde para volver a Berl\u00edn el 15 de junio. Jack pronto se complete el 8vo grado. \u00c9l ha disfrutado de todo su tiempo a jugar al f\u00fatbol, \u200b\u200bbaloncesto y f\u00fatbol de los tigres del sur de la escuela Media. Ha sido un placer ver a muchos de ustedes de nuevo durante nuestro permiso, visitando su iglesia local o reuni\u00f3n en sus hogares. Misiones es un esfuerzo de equipo y agradecemos a Dios por usted y su inversi\u00f3n en nuestro ministerio en Alemania. Sus oraciones y dar fielmente nos han permitido compartir el Evangelio en Alemania desde 1989. Que Dios bendiga y le recompensa para el avance de su Reino! Alemania se ver\u00e1 un poco diferente cuando llegamos en junio. El a\u00f1o pasado, 2015, Alemania abri\u00f3 sus puertas a los 1,1 millones de nuevos refugiados; la mayor\u00eda de ellos saliendo de la guerra desgarrado Siria. centros de refugiados han surgido en todo Berl\u00edn, uno tan s\u00f3lo unos metros de la escuela de Jack. Un pastor amigo en Berl\u00edn me dijo que hay 4 nuevos centros de refugiados en un radio de 1\/2 milla de su iglesia. La mayor\u00eda de los refugiados son musulmanes que, naturalmente, llevar su fe y la cultura isl\u00e1mica con ellos. Vemos la afluencia de refugiados como una oportunidad y un riesgo. Nos dar\u00e1 la oportunidad de compartir a Jes\u00fas con los musulmanes en Alemania, donde todav\u00eda hay libertad para evangelizar. Tengo la intenci\u00f3n de distribuir cientos de Evangelio de Juan folletos impresos en \u00e1rabe. El riesgo es que la amenaza del terrorismo ha aumentado considerablemente. Nuestro objetivo de evangelismo y plantaci\u00f3n de iglesias siguen siendo los mismos. Buscamos abrir un centro Coffeehouse \/ ministerio para iniciar nuestro nuevo t\u00e9rmino. Tambi\u00e9n, por favor, \u00fanase a nosotros en oraci\u00f3n por la formaci\u00f3n de un grupo central fuerte para comenzar una nueva iglesia. Estamos confiando en Dios para edificar su Iglesia y por su voluntad sea hecha en la fase de puesta en marcha de nuestro nuevo plazo de 4 a\u00f1os. Jeannie me sigue asombrando con sus capacidades de multitarea como madre, abuela, esposa y misionera. Ella seguir\u00e1 al frente de Mujeres Cristianas de Berl\u00edn y servir con el equipo del ministerio frasco de alabastro, un alcance a las mujeres objeto de trata (explotaci\u00f3n sexual) en el barrio rojo de Berl\u00edn. La misi\u00f3n de Alabaster Jar es rescatar a las mujeres esclavizadas en la industria del comercio sexual en Berl\u00edn. Las mujeres est\u00e1n siendo liberados a trav\u00e9s de la fuerza del Evangelio y la b\u00fasqueda de una nueva vida en Cristo. Alabaster Jar tambi\u00e9n ayuda a las mujeres rescatadas con necesidades como la vivienda, la asistencia m\u00e9dica, el lenguaje, las cuestiones legales y de inmigraci\u00f3n, habilidades de trabajo y la formaci\u00f3n. Una vez m\u00e1s, GRACIAS por colaborar con nosotros en compartir la buena nueva en Alemania. Le daremos nuestra nueva direcci\u00f3n de su casa en el pr\u00f3ximo bolet\u00edn.
