On December 18, Bonn and Mainz UBF held the Christmas worship service at the Bonn Community Center.

Sh. Peter Schweitzer delievered the message based on Luke 2 and John 3:16. We praised and gave glory to our Savior Jesus who came to this world in a humble manger to save us from our sins and to give us eternal life. As we worshipped the baby Jesus through orchestra, choir, dance, ballet, a Christmas poem, and a Christmas play, our hearts were filled with joy and peace.

Twenty years ago, a few people gathered for a prayer meeting at the Nikolai Church in Leipzig. This prayer meeting was as meager as a baby born in a manger. However, this prayer meeting grew steadily until it broke the walls of communism and became a driving force for the reunification of Germany. 1:1 Bible studies in UBF ministries may seem insignificant at the moment, but it will grow ceaselessly and turn Germany into a shepherd nation and become a driving force for the spiritual revival of Europe.

In the midst of the ongoing preparations for the European Directors' Conference and Mission-Net Congress 2011/12, second generation missionaries, national leaders, and mission co-workers gave their hearts to inviting Bible students and friends and a total of 180 people attended the service. Through this service, we saw God's vision for the Gospel ministry and the disciple-making ministry for the New Year.

May God use UBF manger ministries as a driving force for the spiritual revival of Europe. Thank you for your prayer support. Attached are some pictures from our worship service.

In Christ,

Dr. Peter Chang
