A GEM Presidential Trip to The Balkans

If you follow our social media sites, you would have noticed quite a few updates from Henry during his trip to The Balkans. If not, here's a video and pictorial summary of his fantastic trip. Among other things, Henry had a chance to hear God-sized stories of redemption and get a glimpse of church leaders' hopes and dreams for their people. Below is a graphic of some of the updates that we received early on from Henry last week.    

PRAY FOR THE CITIES

Prayer Communications Remix

It’s been quiet around the prayer section of the website of late, but plans are coming together to continue keeping you updated on ways you can continue to intercede on behalf of GEM and for Europe as a whole. One such plan currently in the works is a series of city-specific prayer Pages on Facebook. Visit www.Facebook.com/ Pray4Stockholm to see one Page already up and running. A number of other 50-in-5 cities are expected to have Facebook prayer pages soon!

My voice carries. Nearly every day I catch myself thinking this, and I warn myself to speak more quietly. My voice is loud and broad, with an American accent and a hearty laugh. Back home, it is one of my gifts—in song and in speaking. But here in Ireland, my words blare noisily above a hushed crowd, and draw attention to me. They seem to call out, “I don’t belong here,” even though I so want to fit in to this place I call home—at least for now. I push my passport under the glass window, holding my breath as the immigration officer observes the stamps. A visit to the immigration bureau never fails to freak me out. “You’ve lived here before,” he says.

Several times time a year, we gather those who are applying to go to Europe through GEM for the purpose of orienting them further to our organization and discerning God’s call on their lives to participate in our vision and mission in the greater Europe harvest. While in the past we’ve called this gathering “Candidate Orientation,” it now has a new name - “Ignition.” Igniting the journeys of new workers into the harvest is an important part of our mission to catalyze movements of disciple multiplication in Europe.

The following is an invitation from GEM worker, Prof. Joel White, to come to Germany next autumn and discover opportunities to invest in God's Kingdom there. Everyone knows at least two names associated with Germany’s remarkable history: Martin Luther and Adolf Hitler. Both names highlight what can happen when Germans get excited about something, whether for good or for evil.
