ARE YOU A "NET-WORKER"?


A networker is someone who works at "anything resembling a net in concept or form, as being dispersed in intersecting lines of communication" (American Heritage Dictionary). But what does that mean?

First, a bit about the current situation here in Berlin and northeast Germany. The first church that BMW workers started in east Berlin has been established and turned over to national leadership (Christen in Marzahn/Hellersdorf or CMH). Out of that "mother" church, another church has just been started in January (Gruenheide:Gh), and two other home Bible studies are in different stages of church planting as well (Zepernick and Hohen Neuendorf). The believers in these groups have the strong conviction of being salt and light in their communities around Berlin, and take their responsibilities as team players and co-church planters seriously. They are not spectators! But they need help, someone to walk through the process with them, someone to be there with counsel and help and training. They know that the Body funtions best when all the members support each other.

Even though these folks are reaching out into their communities, the majority of the small cities, towns and villages surrounding Berlin have no gospel witness, no "contact points" with believers living out their faith in daily life. And, quite frankly, there are limits to our strength and effectiveness, and none of us already here are under the delusion that we are superhuman!

That's where networking comes in - to have several families, singles, couples who would be called to partner with us, living in the communities, being salt and light, walking alongside of the believers here to form a strong network of solid interdependent churches, dispersed, yet intersecting with each other for fellowship, teaching and training, encouragement, and help.

And that's where you come in. Other than cloning (hmm… not an option!), there is no other way to increase our efforts here than to have folks like you join us in this great endeavor! The need is great, and the opportunity is here. How about being a fisher of men, a net- worker, here with us?
