Day 12

The Freie Baptistengemeinde Church of Ingolstadt.


On Friday we held soccer camp in the morning and then I left Ingolstadt to travel to Erlangen to be with the Maranatha women's team for their match against the University of Erlangen and to watch the opening World Cup match with them. (Germany defeated Costa Rica for those of you who care about such things.) It was great to see the ladies, they did not know I was coming. They lost their match 3-1, but that is not important to their mission. They would have like to have played better, but this university has won the European university championship for several years! The ladies have done a fantastic job with Jeff Brown in Erlangen. I heard many good things about how hard they have worked in his ministry there. I want to thank Christoff Ruttgers and Jeff for working out all of the details for my travel on the train. They put me on a train that travels almost 300 km per hour!

Sean O'Morrow's flip-throw has been a great hit everywhere we have gone. Several visitors showed up to camp today in order to see it.


Back in Ingolstadt, the men's team passed out over 1000 Bridge tracts before the Germany match and then quite a few World Cup tracts after the match.

Hey Josh, read your blog today and enjoyed the pictures. Was the train we got you on really that slow?

My mistake - 300 KM per hour. We enjoyed our time in Germany and hope to return someday. I hope your time with the next few teams goes well.
