Today I will give you a peek into the developments of our missionary goals in the early 80s. Depending on the denomination, and the country that they are sent to, there are different understandings about the work of a missionary. The dictionary meaning says, a person who has been sent to a place, usually a foreign country, to teach Christianity. This story, is our experience, coming from a young ministry in northern California in 1975. We had no direct affiliation with a traditional church like Baptist, Presbyterian, or Assemblies of God.
Though Thomas was German, he came to faith in California, and received his Biblical training there. I had my first exposure to European life, as a 19 year old, but knew nothing about the old, and new churches there.
We came to Munich to share the gospel with Germans, and found ourselves, receiving many people from European countries. We even had a man join us from New Zealand and a man with Indian background. We were young, and learning as we went along, how to share the gospel with variousnationalities, and different kinds of religious beliefs.
