More from Köln

Today we've enjoyed being a part of the church planting team meetings. The effort to connect with people in the community is an exciting part of the process. Something that's been discussed is how friendly the people are here in Cologne, especially compared to the rest of Germany. This cultural inconsistency provides some significant Kingdom opportunity for churches in this city and it's something that this team is wanting to jump on. There's also a significant effort by this team to connect with other churches in Cologne and communicate their desire to partner with them to be a Kingdom presence here.

Over the last few days, Kristy and I have had some significant conversations and prayer time about this opportunity. We would appreciate prayer as we seek God's face in regards to joining this church planting effort in Cologne! As we discuss things, I've been a bit surprised to find that, rather than gaining more clarity about this decision to move here or there after the wedding, we've actually gained more clarity and understanding about one another. This is encouraging, considering that our relationship will take first priority over our ministry location.
