Munich Church Turns Corner
Times of great challenge and change are helping European churches to sharpen their focus and move forward with new found vigour.
That has certainly been the experience of Gospel Life Center in Munich, Germany.
During 2012 the church experienced a major challenge from within. For a while, things were tough for the church.
However, through a commitment to prayer and transparency it has emerged the stronger for the experience.
Mal Fletcher recently visited the church to speak at a Sunday service. He was the first guest speaker since the problems of last year.
After the visit, he said, 'I've always felt something special for this church. Not only because John and Mirjana Angelina, the senior leaders, are good friends, but because this church has pioneered a number of important aspects of what is now called "contemporary church" in Germany - for more than 30 years.'
'I felt that this most recent visit was at a very important time and I was deeply impressed by the sense of new life and fresh expectancy I discovered among the people. Even the size of the congregation, which had been slightly reduced in the problem period, was very healthy indeed.'
'This church has turned a new page and will, with wise leadership come into a new level of community influence.'

I truly appreciate Mal's words of encouragement. I'm looking forward to his return to Speak the Word Church, USA, this May. He left quite an impression on his last visit. Keep up the good work.

I've never seen a program that has challenged me as much as EDGES. My thinking has changed, it has encouraged me to grow and given me a deeper knowledge and understanding.

Next Wave's teaching is inspiring, anointed and down-to-earth. It helps Christians break out of their religious trappings, and take a real Jesus into the real world.
