Monday Evenings

On monday eveningsthe bible college hosts a class that is open to the entire church body. It is designed to integrate the students with the church body. David Guzik (The Director of the bible college) is teaching from the book of James with translation into Deutsch. This is a wonderful time for both students and the fellowship to study together. I am in charge of scheduling worship leaders, teams and often leading worship myself. We have many talented Nationals here that we are blessed to worship with, many of which are currently releasing worship albums in German and English. It is surprising how many of the songs we sing in the states are translated into the german language. Some of which i actually prefer to sing "auf Deutsch." For myself and the students it can be a blessing as well as a stretch to lead on these nights. The majority of us do not speak the language fluently but it is beneficial as far as being an aid to learning the language. Praise the Lord, I feel much more comfortable doing it now than when I first started some years back although I often often struggle with praying in German onstage, but the people are very polite and understanding. In all it is a huge blessing for students/staff and the church.
