My mom phoned me last night to inform me that the “Pfarrer” (dominee) of the local church in Heimsheim (where my mom lives and i grew up in) agreed to have me preach there the 20th September.

This is beyond huge for me. There will be family, there will be people that knew me from wee ages and there will be the pastor of the church who preached from the guestbook once.

I want to make this occasion a defining moment. I want to glorify God, glorify the cross and make much of the Bible, in a church where no one carries one with himself.

I know that there are a few people who hunger for the Word being preached, but they have become so accustomed to sugar cane that they don’t know anymore what meat tastes like.

Please be praying for me and the people there, that God would work amongst them to give them a hunger for Himself and His Word again. The best would be if i could challenge the pastor to become an expositor of God’s Word, not his own mind (or guestbooks).

I know I have unreal expectations, but I also know that God is “unreal”, in the sense that He is sovereign and all-powerful. If it pleases Him then He can do far more than what we can ask or think of.
