Missio Colonia | Kevin and Kathi in Cologne, Germany

Another weekend, another church. We traveled about a half hour south of us to speak and sing at the New Rumley United Methodist Church. (Thanks to Cherri for setting that up for us!) We had such a great time. One of the things that struck both of us about this church was how committed and excited they were about reaching out to their community in Christ's name. It was a very egalitarian service - people speaking up in agreement during the sermon, volunteers shouting out whenever a need was presented. It was wonderful to see.

They also received us so graciously. We were really blown away by how enthusiastic they were about the vision we have for Germany. They didn't just give us encouraging words, but they were eager to know how they could help. We were so thankful for their love, prayers and support.

On a side note, New Rumley, Ohio is the birthplace of the famed (or infamous) General George Armstrong Custer. They had a little memorial with an interesting mini-museum about his life.
