Providing Tools, Reaching Europe
Even though we are based back here in the US, Chris is taking off for Europe in a little over two weeks. In addition, a friend and expert in video production and church online, John Otjen, will be traveling with him to Germany, Poland, and Slovakia.
Chris and John will attend the German Willow Creek Association conference to connect with OPEN users. In preparation for the conference we are developing a set of translated OPEN resources for the German-speaking world. We are excited to share these new resources, recruit others to help translate more resources and begin talking about church online opportunities in Germany.
In Poland, they will meet with the team of churches who launched Polish church online this week. More than 400 unique visits were recorded this week at KosciolOnline.tv! This is an incredible response and proof of people interested in hearing the saving Truth. Chris will meet with our friends and church leaders in Slovakia who’ve recently shown interest in translating English materials into Slovak and pursuing online ministry as a congregation in order to reach people in Europe who are far from God and unwilling to visit their local churches.
Please keep us in your prayers as we prayerfully consider which ministry opportunities Blue Door should pursue at this time and which to invest the most time into. We see a tremendous global response to God’s love, and it’s a blessing to be part of many teams out there planting seeds.
