Berlin mission trip - update 1

During the build up to Easter, a team from Mosaic has travelled to Berlin to serve the church plant lead by Nigel and Clare Dutton.

After a day’s orientation ( where we learnt about the culture, history and unique challenges and opportunities in Berlin) we finally got talking to people this afternoon.  In the hot afternoon sun we painted faces, completed questionnaires, and handed out flyers. The idea is that we are trying to find people who are interested in joining the church plant or finding out more about Christ.

The church plant was started by the Duttons and their four kids when they moved out last Christmas.  They now gather between 10-20 people in their home every Sunday Afternoon and every other weds evening.  Nigel lead Kings Church in Hastings for the last ten years and they have a vision to build a church that is committed to the capital of Germany. 

Please pray for all the people we have chatted to today.  We are hoping some will come to a meal on Saturday night where we will advertise the Alpha Course (an introductory course to Christianity).  Tomorrow we head to the University campus and look to serve families in the local park.  We have found it challenging to find people that are happy to speak English and who actually live in Berlin. 

We will also try to have someone new write this blog each day.
