Just a few pic's to share. We had an awesome summer. Heather was able to come an be apart and help with work for her summer vacation. It was such a blessing to have her, she just jumped right in, and did whatever needed to be done. These few photos can't even come close to all the Lord has been doing here in Dresden. Yes, lives are being changed, and God is moving. Our job at this point and time is to obey, be faithful, and be patient. Our work may not take off like we would like. But..we are confident that the Lord knows what is best, and we trust and believe He will always be faithful and give us what we need in His time. During our summer months, we had our first real evangelistic out reach, we had a great turn out, 53 total with 23 first time visitors. It was a great day, with music drama, food, and clear and simple presentation of the gospel. It was a glorious day with memories that will not be soon forgotten. Below, congregation,  Heather and Diana doing a music drama 
These are our neighbors, Frank and Christine, They have no belief in God but came anyway, we were just thankful they came to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. 
This is Uli and Jonathan helping with the serving of the food. 
JULY During the month of July we had pastor Lewis McClendon, and his wife Karen from Ventura Baptist in CA. Their visit was a great encouragement to us. We are able to share and give them a first hand look as to how dark and lost this area of the world is. We took them to Berlin to see "Check Point Charlie" this is where the Berlin wall was constructed to divide, East and West Germany. below- this is a officer that showed us, how difficult it was to get a pass just to go from East Berlin to West Berlin, One had to get at least 6 stamps at different checkpoints to be permitted to cross the borders. 
It was a rainy day...not unusual for Germany, but that didn't stop us, we just put on some rain gear and hopped aboard our bus, and kept right on going.  
This is a portion of the Wall, 
We also took a trip to a concentration camp, where thousands were tortured and killed, this took place just 2 hours from where we live. The concentration camp was named Buchenwald, near Weimar.  
We love our precious new little one, Benjamin, and we still chuckle when he gets upset, this is his face he makes everytime he is getting ready to really let everyone know he is upset. 
Also in July we had the priveledge of having another baptism in the Elbe. To see souls saved, and then follow the Lord in baptism is the very reason we are here, and everytime we are able to go and baptize in the Elbe, is just another way we are letting our corner of the world in which we live, kow that we are followers of Jesus Christ, and we want to shine for Him. Praise Be To the Lord!! 
Along with all the hard work we did this summer, we always found time to play and make some great memories.

We spent some great evening in Bible study and prayer, had lots of fellowship.  
Heather, Romy and Diana, decided, enough work in the kitchen for one day...Let's play!! They were washing dishes and decided to have soap slinging contest. 
We often go to this farm to get our eggs, and I had no idea the cows were on their way back from the field, so much to my surprise when I turned around...there was this cow coming in the gate. Bill saw the cow, and snapped the picture Be watching for more fun photos in the weeks to come.  Love you all, Bill and Debbie |
