Tons of young and energetic Nazarenes joined in worship and study on how to bring the Kingdom of God to earth. There where great speakers, good soccergames, alright food and lots of worship. For those of you who missed out, take time to read the newsletter from Hungary that tells the story really well.

Personally I got a chance to get first hand reports from the NYI work in British Isle North, The Netherlands, Germany (now one district) and Poland. We could almost have made a Field meeting out of it - but we ran out of time. But for me, it was cool to hear what is going on. Which leads me to the following requests:

• Prayer Request Germany
The German District is now one big district, and that leads to some organisational challenges. Please pray for Drew, Christoph and Natanja as the try to rise to the occasion.

• Writing Request
Dennis Mohn who is doing a great job in Holland, told me a great idea. They have all the local leaders write two devotions, and submitting them to a database. By doing that they have covered a years devotions for their local youthgroups. So I thought - let's copy that.

So if every field can submit approx. 5 devotions to me asap. I will take care of the rest. Encourage your local leaders to write them, to get them involved at District and Field level. Looking forward receiving lots of devotions in a week or two.

Should you for some reason not be able to submit in time, just drop me a note.

Please don't be strangers but keep me updated on what's going on in your life and ministry - I would love to share our joys and struggle - and who knows maybe my ten years in youth and sportsministry might come in handy ;-)

take care
