The Sudbrock Scoop

A Toe Hold

Credibility is an important factor is you wish to minister in Germany. If being a Baptist (not a part of the traditionally accepted churches) is not a big enough obstacle, then there is the undeniable fact that I was not born or trained in Germany. There is also my weak pronunciation of the German "R" among many other factors to contend with. These comprise a steep grade to credibility. Overcoming the cultural divide to reach trust is a daunting task that is impossible without perseverance in following God's leadership and depending on His grace to open the doors and make a way.

We are constantly looking for a door that God has opened. I have been teaching conversation English downtown on Wed. evenings for about a year now. Note: Thursday is our midweek service. For the last two sessions Dr. med. H.... S. has been attending. She is a retired head of her department at Hospital here in Wittenberg. Please pray that God will do a work in her life. Seeing her saved would no doubt open doors in the community and give us another toe hold.
