Auf dem Weg zu einer Liebe, die in Mission zum Leben komt
Toward a love incarnate on mission
Vers une incarnation de l'amour en mission
European Grace Brethren leaders, Charis Partners
and GBIM teammates together
February 1-3, 2008 in Stuttgart, Germany

21 people from 6 countries* met for 3 days to pray and peer into the future…

Thot you might enjoy a glimpse of the Charis people who participated in that historic weekend…
A EUROPEAN FAMILY

Alfredo was pleased with the unity and outcomes of the weekend

The French contingent: Réjane, Franck, Florent and Louise


Louise is one of the better thinkers I know
(and I'm not just saying that because she is my wife!)

John translated and transmitted the German ideas

Due to an uprising, Frank had to evacuate his team from the Chad during the weekend

Patty faithfully captured the content of the discussions;
she took 15 pages of notes throughout the weekend !

Alan (Ireland), Scott & Mike (USA) and Edite (Portugal)



"Bob" (France) front and back !
