Germany Mission Trip

Discipleship in the Diaspora

September 10 - 19

Join the Grace Church Bethlehem team on our visit to Nurnberg, Germany. We are in the early years of a sister-church relationship with the Presbyterian Church of Bayern, a congregation of Iranians living in the diaspora of Germany. The majority of the congregation are first generation believers. A highlight of the visit includes supporting and being involved in an annual conference for Iranians living in Germany. We will lend our gifts and talents to serve the children, youth and adults attending, as we grow in faith together.  

Our time with them begins on Wednesday, September 11. We will stay in Old Town Nurnberg at the Karl August Hotel until Friday, September 13. In Old Town, we will take some time to explore, meet with our host and make final preparations for the conference.

From Friday - Sunday we will be at a retreat Center outside Nurnberg. The theme of the conference is "Faithful Disciples in a Context of Secularity," focusing on the Old Testament figures of Daniel and Esther.

The conference concludes with Sunday worship, after which we will transition back to Nurnberg, staying at the Holiday Inn Express directly next to the new church property of the Presbyterian Church. There we will spend three days doing outreach and helping with the various needs of our sister church. Our visit concludes with a Wednesday night fellowship event with the church and their guests. Wednesday night we will stay at the Movenpick Hotel adjacent o the Nurnberg Airport for our morning departure on Thursday, September 19.
