Youth in Mission Congress in Offenburg, Germany

At the Youth in Mission Congress from April 18 to 22, 2019, the Girls4Christ team in Baden-Württemberg was represented with an information stand. There we offered the new material "My Sister, My Friend", informed about the further education offers of the Women’s Ministries Department women and about ENDitNOW. In addition, a workshop zone was integrated directly into the stand, in which the workshop titled "Hand-lettering for Jesus" was offered five times.
After a brief introduction to the art of brush-lettering (hand-lettering with a special brush pen), the girls present diligently practiced the art of writing beautifully. They immerdiately put into practice what they had learned. Numerous attractive and beautiful handmade cards with Bible verses and words of encouragement were created. These were handed out to passers-by on the Sabbath afternoon during a an outreach street action. Many wonderful encounters with strangers were thus made possible!
We are delighted that our young, vibrant and creative girls are using their talents in art to bring other people into contact with the gospel.
Incidentally, even before the congress started, all workshops were fully booked and there were about 50 more girls (and even boys) on the waiting list. For the next Youth in Mission Congress, the organizers have offered to give us an art room for the whole time of the congress, in which wonderful pieces of art can be created for unique and wonderful people who do not yet know Jesus. What a blessing that we can serve God with all the gifts He has given us, be it "only" with a few pens, colors and some paper.
