"Hello! Today is the beginning of a new week here for us at KiA Mainz. Even though the weather continually grows bleaker and colder, the heat waves of the kingdom of God are unceasing. I feel privalegded to be doing the work of the Lord here in Mainz, Germany. Even though it may not always be easy or easily seen, it is such a blessing to be a part of it all and witness how God is changing lives. As we are the church we can see how we are not only growing wider here, but deeper as-well. The people who are coming to the Bible studies and the services are beginning to really become a family with the rest of us. We are expanding from about 4 or 5 impact groups, that go out and serve the community in various ways, to 8 groups. People are so curious here as to what it is we do and even more... Why we do what it is we do. It's always great to hear people ask questions because that opens doors to invest into their hearts. There is one particular man that I have been trying to invest in. I usually spend atleast one afternoon a week with him and he teaches me German and I try to teach him English. He doesn't profess to be a Christian but by his lifestyle you would think he was. He is seeking God very intensely and I know that God is revealing Himself to him. It is an encouragement to watch. He has come from a mostly Muslim culture but recognizes what a wrong path it is. This last week as I was spending some time with him he began to tell me how his place was my place.... so I taught him: "Mi casa su casa," being the good English teacher that I am :) . But after that he began to say how he felt like I was kind of like his little brother... I was very moved to hear that. After only a few months this guy already feels so close and comfortable with me to say that. He is moving into the family of God step by step whether he knows it or not! God is Awesome! Please be praying for Hosam Gened. There are stories similar to that happening to almost every person on our team. God is building His church. And not just here but it is being built accross the world! And You are a part of it! I hope that you are continually letting God use you and create new stories in your life everyday. Thank you for being a part of my ministry. I want to be a part of yours as-well. Let me know how I can be praying for you. I want to hear your stories.Also, be praying for me as I am preaching this coming Sunday. Pray that God will give me His word for His people. I appreciate also if you will continue to pray for my fiance, Emily, and me as we are seeking the Lord's guidance as we decide our next step pursuing ministry together after we are married in May. I pray that the LORD's unconditional love would be made real in your life today.Thank you for your prayers and support. In Christ!Caleb Haynes "Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord's work, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." - 1st Corinthians 15:58 "
