Why Bad Blankenburg?
Have you heard of Martin Luther? The Reformation? Well… that all happened in this region of Germany and because of that, there is a rich inheritance with the Word of God. Not only that, our base building was a former printing press that printed and delivered over 100,000 Bibles to Germany and Eastern Europe. During the school, we’ll visit where Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German and see some other sights to give us more understanding of how the Word of God has impacted society.
We are actively engaged in the “End Bible Poverty Now” campaign. Last year, we kicked off Germany’s nation-wide Bible distribution project, offering a Bible to every home. The project has started in our area, and so far we’ve been to over 8,000 homes offering a Bible. We are community that has a passion for God’s word – believing it can change lives and that it can transform communities.
Our base is located in the heart of what was former East Germany, the part that was run by the Soviet Union. Christians were persecuted and having no faith was promoted. Even though it’s been 30 years since the wall came down – you can still see the effects that this time had on the people and the church. We as a base have a great connection to the local pastors and churches and we look forward to seeing how we can be a blessing to them during the DBS and share with them the ‘treasures’ we receive from God’s word.
