Praise God, we've experienced the birth of two beautiful Berliner babies as a church plant over this last month. The safe arrival of Johanna Joy Benton and Janonsch Paul Cowell has brought much excitement (and tiredness) to the team. Both names mean "Yahweh is Gracious". In the sovereignty of God, both the Benton's and Cowell's had picked these names without each other knowing. I'm personally taking this as a huge prophetic encouragement. God wants to birth many spiritual and

Ohhhhhh sorry friends, we are one day late with posting. The first Berlin Adventure video update and prayer newsletter that wasn't out on time. We know all 100+ lovely people who watch this are devastated. We promise we will make it up to you. April is actually our first year anniversary of arriving here in Berlin so it's a big deal, and we have a great month ahead. March was amazing and challenging. New team and people connecting with us, Non-Christians joining us on Sundays

George is sharing a series of update videos on the New Ground website, sharing lessons of church planting. "George has recently moved to Berlin to join the team who are planting a church in the German capital. Here's part two of his story." We love this real yet exciting update on the journey of faith and prayer together. #Authenticity #Community

We've loved kicking off 2019 with a month of prayer! Acts 1:14 describes what the 120 of Jesus followers did whilst they were waiting in Jerusalem for the promise of the Holy Spirit. They gathered together in one accord and devoted themselves to prayer. They were awaiting the delivery of something they had been promised, and their reaction was to pray the promise in. God has been speaking prophetic promises over this church plant for the last two years or so. It's been great

We had an amazing time in August at Newday serving the Newfrontiers youth festival in the UK. This is such a precious time as thousands of teenagers come together for a fun week encountering the living God with excellent times of worship and outstanding teaching. Sarah also got to interview a team member, the hilarious George Gibson from Kings Church Edinburgh. George is another quality guy that God has added to this exciting adventure of sharing the good news of Jesus with t

This month involved a couple of trips back to the UK for the New Ground leadership conference, and Academy training/Newday Worship School. We are very blessed to be part of an international family of churches that encourages, equips, and supports our Berlin Adventure. We got to share an update and preach at JCC East Grinstead and connect with other friends from around Europe. We are continuing to enjoy summer in Berlin, connecting with other churches and making friends. Thi

We are two months into our new life in Berlin, and loving it! Berlin is so beautiful and a really cool place to be in the summer. There are so many cafes, parks, lakes, historical and creative spots to explore. Whilst it's a cool place to live, it's also a very key city to be church planting in with many, many hurting, lonely, confused and lost people. The opportunity and need for the gospel is huge and obvious everywhere you look. God have mercy! This month has included a tr

Here is an interview with Chris Taylor from Redeemer International Church in The Hague. We were based with Redeemer for 15 months doing a church planting internship before we moved to Berlin. It was so good to have this time making new friends, growing and learning from what God has done in and through this church. We would whole heartedly commend and recommend this group of people to anyone. Listen as Chris shares some of their story. www.redeemerchurch.nl #Community #NewGro
