A Man's World: Germany - OM International

A Man's World

OM International

Following a successful women’s event in February, Logos Hope men responded in style, holding the ship’s first ever Men’s Breakfast. Featuring a full fry-up meal, armour decorations, African drums and the Hakka dance there was no doubt that the ship’s dining room had been transformed into a man’s world for the occasion!

The aim of the morning was to motivate men to come together, have fellowship and focus on God. With almost 100 local attendees, the help of crewmembers to host and interact with those present was much appreciated. Visiting Doulos Captain Ashley McDonald (Australia) challenged the men to depend on God rather than trust in their own strength.

“For many men it was a message which influenced their hearts intensely,” reported Manfred. Koepnik, the Logos Hope Kiel Committee chairman. It is hoped that this event will encourage men to continue to meet together, even after Logos Hope has left Kiel.

UN MUNDO MASCULINO

Luego del exitoso evento para mujeres que se realizó en febrero, los hombres del Logos Hope respondieron con estilo, llevando a cabo el primer Desayuno para Hombres realizado jamás en el barco. Con la presentación de platos fritos, decoración de armaduras, tambores africanos y el baile del Hakka, no había dudas de que el comedor del barco había sido transformado en un mundo masculino para esta ocasión.

El objetivo de esa mañana fue motivar a los hombres a reunirse, disfrutar de la comunión y enfocarse en Dios. Asistieron alrededor de 100 personas de la ciudad y esto ayudó a que los tripulantes interactúen con ellos, lo cual apreciaron mucho. El capitán de Doulos Ashley McDonald (de Australia) que estaba de visita, los desafió a depender de Dios en vez de confiar en sus propias fuerzas.

“Para muchos fue un mensaje que influenció sus corazones”, dijo Manfred Koepnik, Director del Comité del Logos Hope en Kiel. Se espera que este evento anime a los hombres a continuar con estas reuniones, aun cuando el Logos Hope se haya ido de Kiel.
