Hi Everybody!

Thanks for all Support to realize the convoy!!!

Yesterday we reached the romanian-bulgarian border one and a half week after we started at lueneburg.

here a short review of everything that happened so far.

we left lueneburg at friday the 21. of july.

First Stop at Slot Festival/Poland
our first stop was at slot-festival in poland near wroclaw. slot-festival is a christian festival where every visitor can be an artist and act, sing, dance, paint and worship our heavenly king in the way everyone likes to.
It was amazing!
we felt refreshed after the whole organizing stuff we did to realize the convoy. we had quite good prayer and worship times with our sisters and brothers from portugal, england, poland and germany there.

Second Stop: Auschwitz-Birkenau/Poland
our second stop was at the concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, where more than a million jews
were killed in gas-chambers by the german nazis.
felt totally knocked out while visiting the destroyed ruins of the gas chambers and crematories. How could this happen? and why did it happen? and why did the whole german nation support it or, at least, closed the eyes, unwilling to recognize what happened? i can’t believe that it was impossible to recognize it - millions of jews disappeared in only a few years…
why did no one ask where they all had gone??? it must have been easy to recognize what happened - millions of jews can t disappear in only a few years…
But on the other hand it is quite easy to judge others - would i have had the courage to oppose? and what kind of sin do i commit right now?
FATHER, FORGIVE ME AND ALL OF US! FORGIVE our fear,
our proud,our anger, our egoism, our ignoring!
JESUS,PLEASE GIVE US HEARTS INSTEAD OF STONES!!!
LET US BE TO YOU A SACRIFICE!!!
LET US BE PEOPLE WHO BRING YOUR LOVE AND YOUR PEACE TO
THIS LOST, TO THIS DARK AND FEARFUL WORLD!!!

Third Stop: High Tatra/Slovakia
our third stop was at high tatra mountains in slovakia, where we just walked for one day in the mountains, adoring our father and his beautiful creation.
and there, right in the middle of nowhere, we met an israeli couple right from jerusalem and shared our time with them!

Fourth Stop: the hungarian/romanian border.

in romania the problems became worse…
the starter of the ford transit stopped at midnight in the mountains. we pushed the car to get it started, drove to a workshop, but they couldn t repair it.
after two days without a rest we tried to find a quiet place to sleep but didn t manage it - on our search we drove through burning garbage hills, until the police stopped us, and - thank you father - showed us a place to rest instead of cheating us.
we stayed there for two days and then started on monday to another car workshop in bukarest to repair the starter of the ford.the people of this workshop were very gentle, showed us what to do (for free!) -
but the starter stayed broken - we found out a couple of hours later…
But right then we became WITNESSES OF A MIRACLE!
Emma met a priest from an armenian orthodox church - and he behaved as an angle! he gave us coffee, invited us and showed us his church - AND GAVE US COMMUNION!!!

i think everyone of You knows what that means - orthodox churches NEVER give communion to non/members of the church and often persecute born/again christians!!!
imagine the situation!!! the priest invited us, looking like dirty criminals, and two other romanian non/christian guys we met (drinking alcohol) into his church, a very old church with very strong rules and gave us communion!!!!!!!
we sang worship songs in his church, praising Jesus and started to cry…

You know, that was our vision for this convoy!!!
bringing god s heavenly love and bringing peace and unity! not a unity without god, but a unity that is possible BECAUSE OF GOD!!! overcoming fear and prejudices amongst people - and praying for unity of
christ s body!!!

and now we are at the black sea…

….all the visions and prophecies we got from people
who did not even know us and even those visions god
gave us are totally right…

people told us to figth for unity in our group during
problems, and that is really hard, when everyone is
broken…

we often had the dream that the convoy will have a difficult start and will continue to get into more and more trouble - and this is right… the problems get worse.
but the dream ended with a beautiful light and hope at the end of the tunnle - and yesterday we saw a little bit of this light in this orthodox church…

PLEASE PRAY FOR US.

thank god:
for the miracles he did!
- he repaired our accelerator and our brakes - they have been working for 2500 km since our start. Before this, in lueneburg the accelerator was broken and louder than the motor and we couldn t repair it
because we had no money - everything has disappeared and our old vehicles are working a lot and well.

for the protection he gave
- in romania it seems that all car drivers - also the lorry drivers - are willing to commit suicide - even those of us who know traffic jam from morocco or other arabic countries got panic in romania

- for the police guy who showed us a safe place right in the middle of a dangerous area with a lot of criminals (this experience was good for me, because in germany i made quite a lot of very bad experiences with the police)

- and for paul, the orthodox priest, and his amazing love and the unity god gave!!!

pray for us!!

- that we can hear God s voice and can do his will.
that he shows us where to go, which people to meet…
pray for meetings with Jewish, witk Muslims, with other Christians… we want to serve and to show Jesus through our life

- pray for unity amongst us!!! this is getting worse, because the problems are rising…

- pray for spiritual and physical protection!!!

- pray for the cars - especially that we will be able to repair the starter of the transit soon!

Thank You!!!
May God be with You and bless You!
