MUNICH, GERMANY

The Bavarians of southern Germany refer to their region as “paradise,” and the wealthy, influential city of Munich is its capital. It is rich with culture, boasting museums, theaters, universities, and a high standard of living. The world comes to Munich to study, to work, and to play. But with less than one percent of people attending a gospel-preaching church, Munich is lacking in the riches of the gospel of grace.

Even with its secular culture, Munich is, counter-intuitively, a spiritual city, with many people expressing an interest in spiritual things. This creates open doors for conversations about truth, meaning, sin, shame, and the gospel. MTW Munich is partnering with German nationals to plant gospel-preaching churches in this cosmopolitan city. They minister together through Christian counseling, discipleship and training, translation of Christian materials, and teaching in a local Reformed seminary.

Refugees Are Searching, and Finding Hope in the Gospel

A young Moroccan man chased after Nick, an American missionary in Frankfurt: "Hey, will you please teach me the Bible?"

My Critical Breakfast Guest

Over breakfast she criticized the meal, our home, and my hair. I didn’t want to invite her back. In that moment my heart was revealed.

The Coming Tide of Faith in Europe

Across Europe missionaries are watching the Spirit move with a rapidly accelerating pace as God opens door after door.

Christ Will Build His Church

Europe is the new “dark continent.” Churches are being turned into bars and museums. But does that mean the European Church is without hope?

Goliath Must Fall: Two Gospel Stories

In a hard-to-reach, largely atheistic European city, these stories declare the gospel to be "the power of God unto salvation."

Pray for missionaries seeking to minister to those who are critical and hard to love. Pray that missionaries would love their neighbor as Christ loved us.

Give thanks to God for a movement of the Spirit spreading across Europe opening doors that have been long-shut.

Pray for Europeans who have heard the gospel but are hesitant to fully commit to Christ. Pray that God would draw them to Himself.

Please pray for Gospel Church München, a small missionary-led church in Munich, with which we are working. Pray for the small group Bible study where some of the participants are not yet believers.
