Gospel Trip to
Berlin, Leipzig, Jena and Dresden
„Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;“ – Matt. 28:19
Preaching the Gospel on the College Campuses
„We need a young army that can be sent to the campuses to bring in more young people, but all the older and middle-aged saints are also needed. We should not be discouraged that we may be too old to go to the campus. The church’s gospel preaching needs all the saints. Because the local churches in the Lord’s recovery are standing on the genuine ground of oneness, we can have a very good coordination. We all need to learn so that we can have the best coordination.“ (Preaching the Gospel on the College Campuses, p.16)

information concerning the gospel Trip
In order to fulfill the New Testament priesthood of the gospel, we must build up a habit of the normal way for the spreading of the gospel (Acts 8:4-5)(Elders’ Training Book 11, p. 73). The local saints in Berlin and nearby areas such as Leipzig, Jena, and Dresden, have been greatly stirred up in their spirit for the gospel and have been full of joy; they have been regularly going out to preach the gospel and to distribute Bibles.
We hope to receive 20 visiting saints from overseas to blend with us here and carry out one work for the gospel here in Berlin and some of the surrounding cities. By having the visiting saints take care of their own lodging and food the principle is that the local saints will be released to join the gospel preaching, instead of practical services. The goal is that all the local saints in the churches here could participate in gospel preaching at least one time and that we could gain some good contacts for further shepherding.
First Week
During the first week all the visiting saints will be in Berlin. We plan to contact new students since it is the beginning of their semester as well as gain contacts in the community through passing out Bibles. Every year, over 200,000 students enrol in universities in and around Berlin. There is a great need to contact new students. We pray that the Lord will use this trip and gain these new contacts and other open and seeking German students to be borne as remaining fruit.
Second Week
In the second week, the visitings saints will be divided into four sub teams and will join the saints in Leipzig, Jena, and Dresden, where the local saints have been laboring faithfully for the eventual raising up of a lampstand. One team will remain in Berlin to further strengthen the outreach during the first week of classes.
We will try to follow the suggested daily schedule which is as follows:
- 9:00 – 11:00am: coordination meeting
- 11:00-13:30: traveling to the campus and gospel preaching
- 13:30-16:00: lunch and break
- 16:00-18:00: preaching the gospel
- 18:00: dinner or blending and rest
The daily coordination will take place at the follow places:
- Berlin: Meeting hall ( Kurt-Schumacher-Damm 125, Berlin)
- Leipzig: Leipzig: Petzscher Str. 1, 04129 Leipzig
- Jena: Andres Apartments, Zwätzengasse 3. OG, Jena, 07743
