Last Month a team of us went to Visit Jesus Haus in Hernhut Germany. We went to help serve the Church during their busy time of continues prayer and worship for 100 hours and the weekend conference ‘A voice shall go forth from Zion’ It was absolutely amazing! Such a beautiful place filled with inspiring people with inspiring stories. The History of the town is also so interesting; I visited the factory where the first 'Moravian Star' was created. There is also a place called 'God's Acre' where the past people have been buried. All of which had amazing stories attached to their lives, Missionaries from around the world, People who had translated the Bible into different languages for the first time and created movements in the church that Still effect things today. I really came away from it thinking, wow! I want to belong in there too! I'm not very good with remembering all the facts but I would definitely recommend reading up about it, there are many historic links from around the world attached to this little town! I love the vision of Jesus Haus as well, they are people focused on creating a place where people can Encounter God, which it really is. You feel different when you are there, so peaceful. I don’t think I thought about 'home stresses' once when I was there. The surroundings were stunning and going for walks at sun set were such a beautiful times. I had never visited Germany before so didn’t really know what to expect, all I can say is that is exceeded anything I had conjured up in my mind. I also have to mention the Local Baker! He was such a kind and generous man who always gave us free things. This just shows the heart of all the people I met there, looking for ways to Bless you at any given moment. The whole experience is one I know I am going to look back on with fond memories for many years. I have learnt so much from the way they do things there and can’t wait to visit again.
Seriously worth a visit!
