Enjoying coffee time with Anja's lovely parents, Renate and Klaus, who are so hospitable & tell such entertaining stories!
Walking the cafe street which I frequented with joy while living in Jena... & where the wonderful Davis family used to live!
Gunter and Anja praying a blessing over Stefan & Antje-- great friends & full of faith. They are also full of adventure-- they're now working with Connexxion! I've known Stefan since about my 2nd week in Jena, & we have super memories! I first met precious Antje when she came to a small group in a pub with her roomie, Vera.
Last weekend I visited my old "home" city in Germany, Jena! What a great place to relive memories and celebrate several things. We had the annual board meeting for our Connexxion non- profit organization. And on Sunday there was a very special send-off worship service for our friend Nicole!
Here is a delicious breakfast at the home of my hosts, Matthias, Ulrike and Reinhard! He serves on our board and is a business professor at the university.
My friend Anja K. & I got to spend some 'girl time' together, with baby Artur! She and her husband are such faithful & creative leaders of the Connexxion ministry in Jena! They've stepped out in faith in so many ways-- I am continually amazed at their humble, yet persistent way of following Jesus!
Maria and Lukas were single college students when we first met, and later we were in the discipleship group together. Now they're married & have a darling (well, she was sad here!) little girl. Both of them have invested hundreds of hours serving in leadership of discipleship groups. And he graciously handles our ministry's finances, while getting his doctorate.
Anja and Nicole used to be roomies... and Nicole served 'bunches' in the past in our Jena group, leading a worship team & generally encouraging gals. She started a new ministry in our church, called "the Door" to reach out to youth in the community. Well, as a trail-blazing catalyst, she couldn't sit still, so handed off The Door to a friend she mentored & is now headed to
Montenegro (this week, by CAR!) to serve with OM.
