Matthew and Halle Warmbier,
Serving the Lord in Germany
Bio
Matthew and Halle Warmbier serve the Lord in Frankfurt, Germany, where Matthew serves as the vicar at Trinity Lutheran Church, an international Lutheran congregation (www.trinity-lutheran.de). He works with Trinity’s pastor, Rev. Robert Flohrs, assisting with Bible studies, confirmation, preaching, sick calls and congregational home visits. In addition, Matthew works with the regional director of the LCMS in Eurasia and other missionary personnel in Eurasia to support witness and mercy work throughout the region — especially in Germany, working alongside the Free Evangelical Lutheran Church (SELK), the LCMS partner church in Germany.
Matthew’s hometown is Salmon, Idaho, and his home congregation is St. Peter Lutheran Church, Cornelius, Ore. Halle is originally from Tacoma, Wash. The Warmbiers were living in Oberursel, Germany, prior to the start of Matthew’s vicarage, as he studied at the SELK seminary through an exchange program with Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. Matthew is a graduate of Concordia University, Portland, Ore., with a Bachelor of Arts in interdisciplinary studies. Halle also graduated from Concordia University with a Bachelor of Arts in social work and is working towards a degree from the University of Southern California. In his free time, Matthew enjoys fly-fishing, hunting, biking, hiking, automotive repair, carpentry and reading. Halle’s hobbies include music, reading, drinking tea and photography.
Prayers
Please pray for the Warmbiers as they serve in Germany. Pray for the mission of Trinity — that the congregation would continue to be fed with the words of Christ and that they would continue to reach out to the broader, very secular Frankfurt community with the Gospel. Pray that God would use Matthew and Halle and that they would apply the lessons learned through serving at Frankfurt and in the broader mission field to their future service in the Church. Finally, pray that God would use the mission efforts of the LCMS, Trinity Lutheran Church and the Warmbiers to share Christ in a region where many people have lost their historic connection to Him and His Church.
