Transform Conference in Italy

  the first roads build during the Roman Empire - WOW!

  Outreach in Rome - how great is our GOD

OM Transform Conference

God is amazing, about 200 young  (and a few older ones) came together to worship GOD, to receiving teaching and specific country orientations for their outreach. We were  amazed and enjoyed the UNITY we felt, coming together as Christians.  God allowed us to feel so deeply connected and in peace even though we represented about 110 countries, different languages and various cultural differences. God is amazing he brings us together in unity despite where we are from. 

I feel well equipped from those last few days in fellowship. Teaching, praying and praising filled me with knowledge and an even stronger sense of the need to reach the unreached. Teaching included for me seminar about the movement in the world of believers in the living God, cultural differences and various denominations, religions, cults… A seminar about “ Reaching Youth in Europe” changed me too. I realized how alive I feel when I talked about the need of youth work in Bavaria. During my short time in Bavaria I noticed that there are hardly any community based possibilities for young people, young adults to come together. Not really any placed to hear about Jesus, having fun while connecting without being either in sports club or going out clubbing, drinking… I was surprised to see that the petrol station seems to be a very common place to hang out. Hm, not really the most exciting place for fellowship  and learning about the values of life. I guess, without being consciously aware, I feel there is a great need to get generations in general together again. I am sure I will explore more and learn more about it on the ship, when I will be living closely with a couple of hundred youngsters. Can’t wait!

During one afternoon in Rome we had the opportunity to experience bringing hope and displaying Jesus’ love to the people of Rome. Handing out informational material, displaying a dance and a short analogy that  Jesus values us was amazing. I was even more touched while worshiping with fellow believers  Rome, that  was very special. The harvest is huge, the workers so few.

Thank you so much for making this experience possible. This meant a lot to me. I was nervous to about the idea to go onto mission and not knowing what this will include and how that would be put in reality. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to learn and get prepared for my next step – the Logos Hope Ship in Thailand and Malaysia. I am looking forward to more teaching and outreaching on the Logos Hope from mid of August onwards and will use the time from now to then to finalize my travel to Thailand and then to Africa. Some more paper work  but I am sure time will fly and soon I will be back at the airport flying out to my biggest adventure so far in my life – reaching people with the love of God – Jesus is alive and loves you. He is also your reliable friend.

Bless you all and thank you for all your support
