“For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one…”
Ephesians 2:14
If we listened only to the headlines, we might believe our world is becoming more divided with every passing day. Wars continue, nations grow further apart, and fear often seems to speak louder than hope. Yet every so often, God allows us to witness something that reminds us His Kingdom tells a completely different story.
This past week in Munich was one of those moments.
We gathered with brothers and sisters from Germany, Israel, and other nations, not simply for another conference, but to celebrate something the world rarely understands—the miracle of God’s family. Throughout the weekend we worshiped together, opened God’s Word, prayed for one another, and experienced the beautiful unity that only the Holy Spirit can create.
One of the greatest joys was standing together as Jewish and Arab believers. In a region often associated with conflict, God continues to write a different story. We are not united because we share the same culture or history. We are united because we have been reconciled to the same Savior. Every conversation, every prayer, every embrace became another reminder that the Gospel is still breaking down walls that human effort never could.
One moment especially captured the heart of the weekend.
As we prayed together, I found myself saying something that has become deeply personal over these past months: Even when the world is filled with bad news, there is always Good News. That Good News is not just a message we preach. It is a life we have the privilege to witness.
We see it every time Jewish and Arab believers pray for one another instead of against one another. We see it in churches choosing unity over division. We see it in faithful friends from Germany who continue to stand with Israel, intercede for this land, and encourage those serving here with unwavering love and generosity.
Together we lifted Germany before the Lord, praying for pastors, churches, government leaders, and for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit across the nation. We prayed that many would discover the hope found only in Yeshua and that His Church would continue shining brightly in a generation searching for truth.
These gatherings always remind us that the ministry of reconciliation is not a project or a slogan.
It is the very heart of the Gospel. Long before God calls us to reconcile with one another, He first reconciles us to Himself. From that place, He teaches us to love across cultures, languages, histories, and every barrier the world says cannot be crossed.
We returned home deeply encouraged—not because another event had come to an end, but because we had once again witnessed the faithfulness of God. We are grateful to Pastor Tobia, Pastor Lukas, and the entire conference team for welcoming us so warmly and creating a place where believers could seek the Lord together as one family.
To each of you who pray for us, encourage us, and faithfully stand alongside this ministry, thank you. Your partnership reaches much farther than you may realize. Together we are proclaiming the Good News, strengthening the Body of Christ, and bearing witness to a Kingdom where Jews and Arabs worship side by side as one family in the Messiah.
In a world that expects division, may our lives continue to point people to the One who is our peace.
