Weekend with Connexxion, Germany

Our fall Connexxion retreat in Germany was super!
About 30 of us soaked up the love through fellowship, free times, and challenging messages.
We had an awesome speaker Gunter Kiene, who served for more than 30 years on the staff of Torchbearers, which has several Bible schools around the world (german: Fachelträger). He talked about the importance and how-to's of discipleship (following Jesus closely). Below I'm standing with the group that came to the weekend from Braunschweig, four of whom were very instrumental in getting that campus group "off the ground" in 2007.
We also had a crazy fun night with group games, skits & various talents exhibited! It's always super special for me to connect with friends whom I've known over the years. And it's a challenge for me to switch from Spanish to... getting off the plane to speak German all of a sudden. Hopefully, soon we can bring some students from here over and then that will be the true test, going back and forth between the two languages!
