Now it’s already a month since our sending service at our home church in Neuenbürg. We were so busy the last few weeks with clearing our appartment, packing, … that we did not get to write something. Now it’s just a little late ;).

We had a wonderful, very touching and encouraging sending service. Many friends and relatives came and it was really encouraging to see how many people are taking part in our lives and supporting us. Rainer Becker, Director of the Marburger Mission, spoke about the Great Commission and encouraged us with the two promises of the Great Commission, that God has all power and that he is always with us. He compared the two promises with the two suspensions of a hammock in which we may rest while we are in Taiwan. Then we have been sent out by Dean Botzenhardt and Rainer Becker. After the service many people stayed for lunch and for a couple of nice program contributions. It was also great to talk to so many of our friends and to see them one more time before we leave.

Many, many, many thanks to all who organized and contributed to this day. It has become something really special for us. And thanks also to all who were just there and encouraged us by their presence.
