mission-net 2009 IN2 Germany: Germany

Especially in Northern Germany and Hamburg many consider that God, church and Christianity irrelevant and out-of-date. This has left Hamburg and the surrounding regions in a spiritual wilderness. Yet at the same time the team here is witnessing a growing interest in faith and spiritual matters with plenty of opportunities to share Christ!

We want to move with you into action to put some of the lessons you learned at Mission-Net into practice.

Ministry Details
The outreach will take place in a socially troubled district in Hamburg. We will work in partnership with a local church which has a vital ministry to children and youth in that part of town. In your week with us we will run there a special evangelisic programme in a youth café. We will spend time in places where young people meet and seek to share about our Hope in Christ. For this relationships are essential, so a big emphasis of our ministry is on relationships. Team members can use sports, music, arts, and other skills or creative ways to draw closer to the people in that community.
