Church Thrives in Oktoberfest-Land!

Added 04 November 2008 View full list    Print version    
The Gospel Life Centre in Munich, Germany recently celebrated its 26th anniversary.

Pastors John and Mirjana Angelina started the church with a handful of people in their living room. Today it is a thriving and continually growing community dedicated to evangelising Germany as a whole.

Regular readers of this news site will know of the long association between Gospel Life Centre and Next Wave International.

Mal Fletcher visited the church on the day of its 26th anniversary, to share a powerful message on vision.

During his visit, he said: "It's been a few years since I was last in this church. It's great to see the growth that's taken place in that time, both in terms of numbers of people who have joined with the church and in the impact the church is having in Munich."

"Most people know Munich for its annual Oktoberfest celebration, which brings many thousands of people from around the world. In fact, my visit this time coincides with Oktoberfest."

"God has given my good friend John Angelina good favour even in this festival, where he is regularly unable to share his faith. In fact, some of the most influential people in this festival regularly attend the church."

Gospel Life Centre is also seeing good results through its regional TV broadcasts and its use of creative theatre to present a Christian stories and values.

A specially designed theatre forms part of the church building complex and many have come to Christ as a result of the theatrical presentations directed and written by Mirjana Angelina.

Mal, a massive thanks from a baby boomer & a gen-Xer who had the priviledge of being inspired by you at the ALC Leadership Academy. You have really helped make sense of the world that we are seeking to influence...
