Palling - Waginger See/Petting

Today was a nice hike through the country side. The blisters on the right foot are still there, waiting for nature to turn them into leather.

(Photos 1-4) There are so many churches and chapels and displays of the passion of Jesus in this area of Germany. May people be awakened to the reality of God's love in Jesus Christ, that the cross is not just a marker in history, but God's power today to redeem and transform lost humanity.

(Photo 5) I was picked up at the end of the hike by my colleague from Salzburg, Alan Ambrose, to do a youth meeting at the church in Salzburg. There I met *Denny, an Afghan refugee, who found faith in Christ and was part of our Assembly of God church in Athens before he came to Austria. I hope to visit that church in Athens at the end of my journey. Pray for the many refugees who have fled to Europe that they would find God's grace in Jesus Christ.
