This is a summer long mission in which ten different groups from Vineyards around Europe are ministering on the streets of Berlin for 10 days at a time. One of the main purposes of this mission is to leave a deposit of people who can be called into the Vineyard plant that is currently happening in Berlin.
God has already been on the move during the first weeks of the mission.

Prayer on the streets in Kreuzberg:
 
 
Hearing from heaven - using the pictures hanging from the line:
 
Please pray for:
1. Safety - as we travel to and from and live in a foreign city
2. Marius and Caro Buhlmann who are organising the mission
3. The team - that they may each learn and experience much of God's hand in their lives as they STEP OUT in this way
4. Berliners - that we may have many God ordained meetings and opportunities to pray and share our faith
5. That we may see many people come to know Jesus and receive healing and the power of God in their lives
6. Berlin Vineyard - that this mission may result in a strong, healthy, growing and effective Vineyard in the heart of Europe
The Programme
The first and last days are taking over the baton from the previous team (from Speer in Southern Germany) and handing it on to the next one (from Trent). There is a day off in between. On the other days we spend the mornings in worship, ministry and training. In the afternoons we go onto the streets of Berlin seeking to pray for people and share our faith. The evenings are some more teaching and feedback from the days.
We are staying in a large guest house in South East Berlin (in the old East Berlin) and ministering mainly in that area.
