I am sitting in KFC in Prague, Czech Republic after spending last week in Germany and I am speechless. I have seen God show up, bless us and provide in more ways then I could ever ask for or imagine. Germany became our first destination when we prayed about our ATL month because my mom told me about a cousin’s cousin who owned a bed and breakfast in a small village near the Czech border who wanted us to come and stay. We began to pray about ministry contacts in Germany and here’s where God led us.
Meet Robert & Bethany Millar serving with Young Life College in Munich, Germany. They both h
ave incredible hearts for the Lord and a desire to reach University Students in Munich for Christ. University is very prestigous in Munich and really most of Europe. It has a different focus then the states and not everyone just goes. It is taken very serious and intellectualism is a HUGE battle. Robert is a Northern Ireland native and Bethany is from St. Louis, but they have both spent the last 7 years in Munich serving in various ministries. They are definitely gifted at relational ministry and perfect for Young Life Staff. Their hearts and lives are committed to the people of this city and I believe God is going to do big things through them. If you would like to learn more about their ministry please visit Young Life Mid-European Region.

Next meet Michael Dean. He also is serving with Young Life in the International Schools. He is a Charlotte, NC native and graduated from SMU in Dallas, TX. He has been in Munich for 3 years and just signed up for 2 more. He has a big heart for the Lord and HS kids. He reminded me of many friends back home serving on YL staff. His picture alone can show you his personality and ability to connect with kids of all ages. Click here to learn more about what he is doing in Germany.
During our time there we also had the chance to meet with a Pastor Matthias Lohmann from the Evangelical Free Church in Munich. He shared astounding statistics about the lack of evangelical Christians in Munich; in a city of 1.2 million there are only about 5000 evangelicals. We only spent an hour with this man, but it was clear that he is a mover and shaker and desires to bring Christ to this city. I am confident God is going to use this man to preach truth and reach many people in this city.
And last but not least I need to mention Julia Graf. This women in my opinion could’ve joined Team B.L.I.N.G. We absolutely loved her. She opened her apartment to us and treated us like family. She was sick the entire time we were there and because of that we got to see her a ton! She serves as a volunteer for Young Life and is a full time nanny as a job. She has lived all over the world and is super fun to be around. And she makes me laugh A LOT. We are so thankful for her and that the Lord allowed our paths to cross.
After our week in Munich, thanks to my mom, we were dropped in World Race heaven in a small village: Lam, Germany. We spent the weekend at a beautiful bed and breakfast where we were completely spoiled and treated like queens. King sized beds, our own bathrooms, chocolate on our pillows and plates, endless supplies of soft pretzels and lots of good food. It was amazing! We saw a few more cities in Germany and were blessed with great company by Andreas! (please see pic below with Andreas on our visit to Regensburg)
Yesterday we took a train to Prague, Czech Republic and will be here for one week. We are working with a man named Phil Davis from Charlotte, NC who knows many of my friends back home. Phil is the Pastor of Faith Community International Church and I think he knows everyone in the city. We have tons of people to connect with this week and I think it’s going to be great. There is a lot of kingdom work going on in Prague. In my opinion, both Prague and Munich are great future stopping points for World Racers. Please continue to pray for us! I can’t even believe that 2 weeks from today I will be in the States! Thanks for your support!
