We are Christ followers who want to share God's love with those we come into contact with day by day. We hope to do this with a smile, a word of encouragement, a prayer or in a practical way. The skies the limit!

TRIPPING THE LIGHT FANTASTIC
Approaching Einigen - yes, the Alps are right there! Amazing scenery.
View of the barn and the sheep with the Lake in the distance.
Roger would love to live in this area. The train line is nestled just below the barn and the lake!
One of the bedrooms in Schloessli "Le Ruedli"
The heading was just to get your attention!!
We had a very positive and interesting day. Had a great sermon by our German Pastor Michael Klippert this morning on friendship evangelism. Roger and I love that topic!
Our lovely friends Paul and Madge Vosteen (minus Madge actually as she was home with Vadne who was sick) and their other 2 children Stryker-Ann and Wils took us in their car to Einigen to meet
Roger and Ursula Langel http://www.ywam-einigen.ch/
They told us about the celtic way they are living as a community in this wonderful place. They practice many of the qualities of the Kingdom that so many folks are looking for: a holistic communal life with men, women, animals and nature, as well as a lifestyle under a healthy rhythm of prayer, with a great hospitality. With breathtaking view to the Alps from many of the windows we were reminded again of God's amazing handiwork in creating our wonderful world. Check out the website, it's inspirational.
We have had a great week. As usual it didn't quite turn out the way WE expected it to, but God certainly placed us in the path of people who needed a listening ear and a word of encouragement. We have been encouraged by people and have been very conscious of people praying for us and our work here. Thank you.
This coming week will be much the same as last week. We are continuing to concentrate on our Deutsch learning and this is paying off. We have several appointments to catch up one on one with people, which is what we both enjoy doing.
