Tues 30th June cont... : Glorious weather and free time, went to local park with speaker listened to tunes and played frisbee. Later on it poured with rain which if anything made the whole experience better, as we just continued in the rain.
Wed 1st & Thurs 2nd July: These again were days off so not much happened, allot of resting and chilled activities were the name of the game.
Fri 3rd July : Went to Boxi and spoke to a few of our friends nothing to exciting to share. In the evening Thilo invited us to a BBQ in the park for his work which we of course excepted, food was a little dodge but conversation was awesome. Shared with one guy about why I was in Berlin but did not really open door for full conversation (which I felt a little disappointed at) but then got speaking to another guy (Yan/Jan I think?) and was able to share about Jesus with him, talked for about 20/30 mins, invited him to Church which he did not object to, so prayer for him would be very much appreciated and also that myself and Thilo would be proactive in following that up.
Sat 4th July: Independence Day!!!! went to my first 4th of July celebration. BBQ, American type snacks and a 'how well do you know American' quiz which I failed quite spectacularly at. That went on till 9ish which meant there was enough time to hold a small Texas Hold'em Party at our house!
Sun 5th July: Mauer Park Church was awesome there was only 7 of us there, but it was one of the best services. A large group of people were sitting around listening and clapping at the end of each song, the Gospel was preached and Testimonies were shared.
Lunch was shared together back at our house, before I went to the German speaking Church (which has just named itself so hopefully will have a name for next time). In the evening Gabe, Anna and Myself went to the local park.
Mon 6th July: A new week, a new schedule - Monday Free, Tuesday Leopold Platz, Wednesday Free, Thursday Boxhaganer Platz, Friday Tragwerk, Saturday Alexander Platz and Sunday Mauer Park. So being Monday we had a free day, went out in the morning for breakfast before heading back to do some shopping with the Droptiny Massive. In the evening a group of us went to the park with the speaker and frisbee to celebrate Esif's (Steve) Birthday.
Tues 7th: Leopold Platz, we headed over to a Cafe in Wedding (where we had church with the YWAM teams in May) to pray and worship before going out. When in the Platz we hung out chatted and worship (very similar to Boxhahaner). Some good conversations went on but because it was a very new ministry for me it felt very hard to get as involved as I had hoped.
Wed 8th: Free, went out for some lunch before a small bit of retail shopping. (Bought a nice shirt from H&M which Bart then bought a week later in England!). In the evening Gabe called to say he and some of the South Africans were playing a concert at what will become the South Africans Church Plant. It was to finish a missions week they had been doing around the city.
Thur 9th: Boxi, chilled out played music, prayed and worshiped, I meet a guy who had been at the opening night of the Artist for Christ exhibition and was able to talk and pray with him.
Fri 10th: Gabe and I were invited to a end of school celebration at Benni's (Tragwerk) School. Hung out there for a couple of hours before Texas Hold'em at ours, then onto Tragwerk. At Tragwerk we meet a YWAM team from Texas that we would be working with for 1 day, a really intense group (in a good way).
Sat 11th: Alexander Platz, had an amazing time, there was a family festival going on in the centre of the Platz (which had some amazing performers) so we headed round to the fountain where there were a group of Dancers, suddenly one of the Dancers grabbed a microphone and started preaching the Gospel we stayed and listened before heading round to the clock so as that part of the Platz was being covered. Texans had a drama that was so so good, with fully choreographed fights and really powerful, testimonies were given, gospel was preached, worship was sung and conversations had. To top this day off as we were about to pray and thank God for the work that had gone on a Nigerian man and a German came over they were both Christians and they prayed with us (its so hard to put down how amazing this moment was).
Sun 12th: Mauer Park Church, service was one of the hardest we have done, lots of things just kept going wrong about 4 guitar strings broke, microphone died for 5 mins and a few other factors made it a hard time but we fought through.
That afternoon we went to Wittenburg (where Martin Luther lived, taught, preached ect...) had allot of fun doing some sight seeing:
some tourist things:
and some modeling:
Mon 13th and Tue 14th: Both days were free, because my younger brother Bart flew out on the Tues to spend a week with us, we went to Alexander Platz on Tuesday with two YWAM leaders from Montana to play music and chill we played in 3 different locations before calling it a day and chilling out for the rest of the day.
Wed 15th: Bugs Birthday! a fun filled day. Went swimming in the afternoon, followed by a meal at a Thai restaurant.
Thurs 16th: Today, we have 2 task for today first we are handing out flyers for a concert that is happening tomorrow evening and second outreach in Boxhaganer. The evening holds many possibilities who know what fun we might end up with...
Thanks for your support,
Nathanael
