Prayers
The Ahlmans write, “The Volkmarsdorf area of Leipzig possesses a high concentration of people from greater Europe and the entire globe who have immigrated to Germany. Broader Leipzig is a city marked by cultural expression (i.e., music, visual art, theater, dance) and high appreciation of such expression. Pray that the Lord may enable the proclamation of the Gospel to resonate with those who hear it — that they may cling to it in faith. Pray that the Lord may grant His abundant blessing to the SELK/LKM church plant in Volkmarsdorf. Pray that the Lord may open doors to a climate of faithfulness to Jesus Christ in the context of cultural creativity and artistic expression. Pray that the Lord might advance His Church as a place of mercy, a refuge for the weary and a source of solace for the oppressed.”
