Tuesday

Right now it is waaay past my bedtime (12:00 midnight) and we have just arrived at our hotel in Wetzlar. It’s been a great day. We had some free time this morning and everyone enjoyed walking around the Christmas Markets. We met back the Cologne Cathedral for a picture and then headed to Siegen. The drive was absolutely amazing. The snow is so pretty against the backdrop of the huge trees, small farm houses and small villages with snow covered rooftops. Once we arrived, the church in Siegen fed us a wonderful meal and then we sang to a full house. They seemed to LOVE the music and the response was warm. It has been amazing to see the impact of 20 year relationships that DB and Mama B have built with churches and friends in Germany. God has certainly used the ministry of the A Cappella Choir to impact many in Germany with the Gospel and encourage hundreds of German Baptist congregations. What a blessing to be part of that great missions ministry. Before our concert tonight, Jeff Stith (Minister of Music at Canaan Baptist Church in Bessemer) led the group in our devotional time. It was especially meaningful. Well, I am off to bed now! chip
