AUFSTeHEN the vision is jesus

Welcome to the 24-7 Eurogathering.

We are so pleased that you have made it – from all over Europe and beyond. We are gathering with a focus on Jesus as our ultimate vision – Kingdom Come in Europe!

As we began to prepare for ‘Aufstehen’ we were struck by the unlimited love, extravagance and grace of God. Everything that He has is ours and is poured out to us without reserve – He is wholeheartedly for us. As a result we are set free to be wholehearted and abandoned in our commitment to Him. SO! Don’t hold back, give yourself fully to our time together, encourage everyone you meet, spend time in the prayer room and let’s see where it takes us together! Its going to be good!

2012Herzlich Willkommen zum 24-7

Prayer Europa-Treffen!Wir freuen uns so sehr, dass Ihr hier seid – aus ganz Europa und darüber hinaus. Jesus – unsere letztendliche Vision – ist der Mittelpunkt unseres Treffens – damit sich das Königreich in Europa ausbreitet!

Als wir uns für „Aufstehen“ vorbereitet haben, waren wir geplättet von der unendlichen Liebe, Großzügigkeit und Gnade Gottes. Alles, was Er hat, gehört uns und wird für uns ausgegossen ohne dass Er etwas zurückhält – Er ist mit Seinem ganzen Herzen für uns. Deswegen sind wir frei, uns Ihm mit ganzem Herzen hinzugeben und uns ganz an Ihn zu binden. Also! Halte nichts zurück, gib Dich unserer Zeit zusammen ganz hin, ermutige jeden, den Du triffst, verbringe Zeit im Gebetsraum und lass uns sehen, wohin uns dies führen wird! Es wird auf jeden Fall gut werden!

Europe and culture: it’s not wrong – just different!Europe is a big place and we come from very different backgrounds. Eastern Europe has huge alcohol problems while the South is more of a ‘wine’ culture and Christians respond differently. Similarly some have different attitudes to smoking, money, humour and politics – yet we are all committed to following Jesus. We don’t set rules at ‘Aufstehen’ but we do value grace, liberty and mutual respect. Please believe the best and speak the best. If you would like to talk about anything that confuses or concerns you don’t hesitate to talk to the

Byron & Lisa Borden have followed God on an adventure of marriage and cross-cultural mis-sions. Their work in Africa and Europe has been shaped by the belief that God cares for the whole person, body and soul, and we are therefore called to do the same.

3. Ancient Spiritual Practices for Today. A sampling of spiritual practices that enhance our experience of Christ as we encounter Him.Byron and Lisa Borden

4. Prayer and You: How to make it work! We talk differently, we think differently, we pray dif-ferently.

Evangelium: Alltagsleben mit der Wahr-heitMatthias Kuhn Durch seine Leidenschaftli-che Liebe zu Jesus mobilisiert Kuno (wie ihn alle nennen) Menschen das Evangelium im Alltag zu leben. Er ist Teil des Leitungsteams von GPMC in Thun/Schweiz, einer Jünger-schafts/ Hauskirchen Bewegung und ist auch Teil der Leitung des Aussendungshauses. Er hat viele verschiedene Evangelisationsinitia-tiven mit Freunden in der Schweiz gestartet und ist ein bekannter, leidenschaftlicher Red-ner an vielen verschiedenen Veranstaltungen im deutschsprachigen Europa. Er ist glücklich verheiratet und stolzer Vater von vier grossar-tigen Kids.3. Die ganze Wahrheit - Jesus will uns nicht nur unsere Sünden vergeben! Ara-bischer Frühling, Unruhen in London und Paris, Stuttgart 21, Occupy, Blockupy usw. – es brodelt mächtig im System. Das war vor einiger Zeit in einem weit entfernten Land auch schon mal so: soziale Unruhen, Über-schuldung, Arbeits.- und Perspektivlosigkeit, ein mächtiger Polizei- und Militärapparat der jedes Aufbegehren des gemeinen Volkes bekämpfte, eine elitäre, reiche Gruppe schwelgte im Luxus, viele andere fristeten ihr Dasein hingegen in bitterster Armut. Ein Mann wollte das ändern und zog zehntause-nde in seinen Bann, er kritisierte das Sys-tem, nannte Unrecht beim Namen, weigerte sich aber zur Waffe zu greifen und alles zu stürzen. Er lehrte keine Revolution, sondern Evolution des Systems durch die Veränder-ung der Herzen. Seine engsten Freunde nannten ihn Jeshua...

The ‘Aufstehen’ OfferingIn the early church there was an incredible financial release to advance God’s purposes - people even sold fields and donated the proceeds. At a time of financial pressure in Europe we want to make a generous, positive and faith filled response. On Saturday evening therefore we will be having a free will offering, celebrating God’s overflowing goodness to us. None of this will go towards the cost of ‘Aufstehen’ but will all be focussed on 24-7’s vision for Europe – catalysing prayer, mobilizing mission and releasing a new generation of leaders. Would you please pray about two things?Firstly would you come prepared to contribute on the evening – as an individual, com-munity or nation.Secondly could you start sowing financially into the 24-7 vision in your nation or cityIf you would like to talk about giving larger amounts please talk to one of the ‘Aufste-hen’ leadership team; an IOU commitment can be made on the evening with a name and contact details.

What about the auction I hear you ask?To focus on the offering we will not have a major themed auction this year. However we don’t want to stifle creativity and initiative so if you know of any item that someone would like to auction then we will make space for that on the Sunday. Anything raised from that will be set aside for 24-7 pioneer mission initiatives. Just let one of the Auf-stehen team know and we will fit it in!
