A group of 16 people from a church in USA sees lives changed during their short-term outreach in Kiel, Germany.
OM International For 12 days in June, Dave McBride of OM USA accompanied a church group of 16 people from Ohio on an outreach trip in Kiel, Germany. This coincided with Kieler Woche, or "week of Kiel," a huge sailing regatta, which is Europe's largest festival. The group worked with OM North Germany and with local Christians in partnership with the Evangelical Alliance of Kiel. Because Logos Hope had spent six months in Kiel, there was already local interest in OM. Evangelism took place on the streets of the city and along the waterfront where crowds were gathered. Dave says, "On the second day of the outreach, a man approached me and another team member and said he had problems with his faith. A listening ear, words of encouragement, and a moment of prayer for him ended with him giving us a teary-eyed, hearty hug. A few minutes later he met another group from the team and shared that before he met us he had planned to kill himself that day!" Another time, a drunk man wouldn't move out of the way so the team could start a drama. Jim, from America, put a tract in the man's back pocket. Later the man called the number on the back of tract and asked about the message. Praise the Lord for changed lives through the outreach in Kiel. Pray that God will raise up more people from North America to get excited about short-term missions. Pray for the strength and wisdom for all OM workers who coordinate mission trips.
