#125 From Pioneers to Partnerships: The Evolution of Church Planting in Bavaria + Strengthening Marriages (Eng)

In this month's English episode, Willi and Aaron reflect on a
recent event from last week. Inspired by the Global Reach
Conference at Faith Baptist Bible College, our fellowship of
churches here in Bavaria held our very first Missions Information
Day. Several ministries, including our church plant, showcased
their work. This was a special day for Aaron, as it marked the
first time our church plant was officially introduced to the
public.


In light of this, Willi and Aaron take a moment to discuss the
history of our fellowship of churches in Bavaria. From its humble
beginnings, founded by American missionaries, to its current
state as a thriving network of 13 Baptist churches—most of which
are led by German pastors. Aaron also shares the story behind the
church plant's name and the thought process involved in choosing
it.


The conversation shifts to the evolution of church planting, from
the early days of pioneering missionaries to modern-day planting
with teams. Though many new churches are now led by Germans,
there is still an important role for partnering with missionaries
from the United States.


Before diving into these topics, Aaron and Willi also touch on
the recent Valentine's Day banquet and couples' retreat,
emphasizing the significance of these events for strengthening
marriages within our churches.
