I'm returning to

my beloved Mainz quite unexpectedly today. I had planned to go back at the end of this week. But an opportunity to catch a ride presented itself quite suddenly which I simply could not refuse! ;-)
I'll be in Mainz for about a fortnight and afterwards hopefully Londonbound. More on that later.
love ya,
hanna

once more back in ...

... Altensteig.
I got back here late yesterday afternoon. Two dear friends of mine drove me down with a stopover in Karlsruhe where we met with a third friend to have a late brunch/lunch together and I had a chance of getting a Starbucks coffee, for down here I never know when I get another opportunity.
The next couple of days will be a time to rest and chill and at some point during the next week (hopefully) I'll be having a talk with the base-leadership about my future... you know, to find out where we're all at...
please, pray for that. pray for clear communication, Gods speaking, that we will be able to hear His voice and the voice of His dear Holy Spirit.

Be dearly blessed,
yours Hanna

COLOMBO - SRI LANKA

In Sri Lanka we worked under a pastor/apostle couple Dr Lalith & Dr Hiranti Mendis. We stayed at a camp -which used to be a swamp- about an hours drive from Colombo. The closest towns were Wattala and Ja-Ela.
At the camp we taught in the local DTS, helped out at a 2-day-youth camp (I got to preach again:)) and led a kids camp. We also visited some missionaries who lived about two hours from were we lived to encourage them and to pray for them.

This was all very exciting, though thing that inspired us the most was simply living with these people, hearing their vision and seeing who Doctors Mendis and their church pray and intercede for their nation and through that really take authority in spiritual realm for Sri Lanka.
What's even cooler is to see how this manifests in the physical. Both of the Doctors meet with people in business, in politics, CEOs, managers,... to talk with them, pray with them... now they receive calls from the prime ministers wife asking for prayer before important meetings and decisions she/they have to make!

CHENNAI - INDIA

We only got to spend 12 days in Chennai, which was kind of sad, but still we had a good time there – visiting an AIDS-center, doing beach evangelism, campus-bible-study-groups, speaking at churches and taking part in a citywide worship service.

One of the church services took place in a small village outside Chennai, where we ended up having 6 or 7 house visits afterwards.
So pretty much everyone of us had the opportunity to share a little message and to pray with the tenants some of whom were Christians, others were Muslims or Hindus... and on we went to the next house...

Another quite exciting thing were the Rickshaw rides where at times we squeezed 10, 11 people into one rickshaw! I am telling you, thats where you learn to pray real hard. :-)

MUMBAI - INDIA

Our time in Mumbai began with attending a Joyce Meyer Conference.
As for ministry: We helped out at a Mother Teresa Home, spoke at a school in Asia’s biggest slum, visited different Red-Light-Districts, had intercession in a Muslim neighborhood or at the shrine of a Muslim saint, who in his day performed many 'miracles' (healing of the sick), so that still today many people – especially sick and crippled people pilgrimage to this place to receive healing. It is difficult to put into words the spiritual atmosphere of this place, it was so heavy and oppressing.

We preached in several churches and encouraged the local Christians and missionaries. As much as I liked each of these different ministries – the time we spent in the Red-Light-District touched me the most. Since I had worked with this kind of ministry before and am planning to work more in this milieu in the future, I was curios to see another ministry among these precious ladies. In some ways this area was a lot worse then Thailand, the entire area was basically one big slum, and there was no separation between home and work place. The work place was home and in many cases the family lived there as well.

DELHI - INDIA

We arrived in Delhi at about 2 am on New Year's Day (yes, we spent New Year's Eve on the plane), by the time we were through customs, immigration and baggage claim, had reached our accommodation and were finally in bed it was almost 5 am. Our first ministry was at 11 am that same day, where we were to speak at a church in a slum area.
We spent two weeks in Delhi reaching out to people in slums. Everyday we would walk to or take a public bus (usually a combination of both) for anything between 30 minutes to 2 hours to visit one of Delhi’s many slums. There we would have an evangelistic meeting with a drama, testimony and a message. Afterwards we made house visits, prayed for people and of course drank the obligatory chai (very sweet tea). We also preached in a church in the middle of the slums.
