Chruch Planting Meeting Furth, Germany

Sabella, McNamee, Walent, Schroeder, Ros    This past week I attended a church planting meeting in Furth Germany. It's interesting and exciting to see what God is doing in Central Europe, especially in the area of planting new churches. Steve Walent, Rob Schroeder and James Ros are working together with a unique church planting project in Germany. The main thrust of their church planting strategy is regionally focused development, training and encouraging of national church planters.
    Steve, an A/G Missionary, is the church planting leader in the Saxony area of Germany. Michael McNamee, also an A/G Missionary, is the Europe Coordinator for Church Planting as well as the European Director for Convoy of Hope. Rob is the church planting leader in northern Bavaria and on the leadership team in Thuringia. James is also a church planting leader on the national church planting team and a pastor in the town of Hemmingen, Germany.   
    God is doing great things in Central Europe through dedicated and committed missionaries, national leaders and workers. It's an honor to serve together with these men.
