Albert Einstein, Beethoven, and Karl Marx are just a few of the many Germans whose influence changed the global arenas of science, art, and thought.
Yet, no amount of scientific discovery, political power, or philosophical prowess has given the people of Germany the lasting security they desire.
As loneliness and hopelessness increase across the country, over 80 million German people are living without Christ and the satisfying joy that He brings.
THIS IS WHY WE PRAY.
Over the course of centuries, Germany has impacted the world in astonishing ways.
Albert Einstein, Beethoven, and Karl Marx are just a few of the many Germans whose influence changed the global arenas of science, art, and thought.
Yet, no amount of scientific discovery, political power, or philosophical prowess has given the people of Germany the lasting security they desire.
As loneliness and hopelessness increase across the country, over 80 million German people are living without Christ and the satisfying joy that He brings.
This is why we pray.
SALVATION
The German people are hard-working and disciplined in all areas of life. With a thriving European economy, they find security in the structures of work, family, and culture. Yet, while all seems well on the surface, millions in Germany lack meaning and hope beyond what this world offers them. While 64% of the population identifies as Christian, many believe religion is irrelevant, leaving less than 3% claiming to follow Christ. But, God is on the move! He is calling Germans to a new, joy-filled life with Him, as you will see in the first short film.

Robert grew up on the streets a skilled fighter, but the more he trains, the weaker he becomes. Finally, he comes face to face with true strength and is forced to do the one thing he never trained for…surrender.
After graduating high school, Robin rejects his Christian upbringing to live life to its fullest. It isn’t until his parents reveal a long-held family secret that Robin discovers the life he has been missing all along.
“I AM THE WAY, AND THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.”
JOHN 14:6

PRAY FOR A SPIRITUAL HUNGER THAT LEADS THE GERMAN PEOPLE TO GENUINELY SEEK GOD.
PRAY THAT HEARTS CLOSED OFF TO CHRIST WOULD BE OPENED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
PRAY FOR THE SPIRIT’S CONVICTION OF SIN AND THAT MANY WOULD REPENT AND FIND FAITH IN JESUS.

RESTORATION
While Germany’s history is marked by two devastating world wars and the tragedies of the Holocaust, some might assume that the country has overcome such devastation and defeat through its own resiliency. However, changes in government and society have yet to rid the country of its strife. With political and social tensions still on the rise today, only Christ can provide the true and lasting change that the German people need: the restoration of the human heart. But there’s good news, God is at work! He is redeeming and healing those who humbly surrender to Him, as you will see in the next film.

DISCIPLESHIP
Being the birthplace of the Reformation, Germany has played a significant role in sharing the Gospel with the world. Even while many Germans have grown disillusioned with the Church and God’s Word, there seems to be no shortage of missional opportunities, especially considering the country’s growing immigrant population. And God has not forgotten His people! He is still empowering His Church in Germany to make faithful disciples of Christ in their homes, communities, and cities, as you will see in the next film.

JOHN 15:16
