News From Munich


We arrived in the Bavarian capital of Munich. Bavaria you're probably wondering, where on earth is that? I though you were going to Munich, in Germany. Well you assumed correctly. Munich is in the German state of Bavaria. We'd received a number of words about coming here for part of our outreach and so its really exciting to actually be here.

To bring you up to date with what's been happening, we arrived on Thursday, which was an extremely long day. One of the other staff didn't have the money to travel with us to Munich and was planning to travel with us to the airport, in faith that her money would come in. However someone heard she needed the money so covered her flight and whatever else needed covering (which had prevented her from coming). She got the last seat on the flight with us to Munich!

We arrived in Munich and caught the train to the church where we were going to spend the first two nights. For those of you who didn't know, we went to Brentford with nowhere to stay in Germany and whilst we were there the school leader was able to get somewhere to sleep for the first two nights, then the day before we flew to Munich we heard we had somewhere to stay for the rest of the two weeks in Munich. We actually only spent one night at the first place before we travelled over to the second place.

It hasn't been super chaotic but we've still been busy, we've explored the city, and spent some time interceding for Munich from the Olympia-berg, which is a mountain that stands in the Olympic Park where the 1972 Olympic Games were held and from where the Israeli team had been abducted from. Both the photos were taken here.

We've also been taking part in a number of different services with the church we're staying in. We also were able to go to the church that Jonny (the school leader) used to go to when he lived here.

More photos and news coming soon. Please check my photo journal (click here) out or find me on Instagram (click here) however, if I don't know you I won't allow you to follow me on Instagram.

Photographs: the first is Olympic Park, and the second photo of the four guys, Tim (USA), Jonathan (also known as Jonny; the school leader from Germany), Hector (Australia) and Jonathan (USA)
