While the Church is God’s Plan A for how Believers demonstrate to the world God’s love and desire for relationship with them, most people in Berlin wouldn’t step foot inside a church even with an invitation. This is why we are committed to living our lives in a way that demonstrates loving God well and loving others as ourselves - in all areas of life, not only in Sunday services. This means being involved in our local community and having sincere friendships with people outside of our church. We are here to demonstrate through our lives and words why knowing God matters, even in a Western Europe context. For every foot we have in a community outside of the church, we believe it is necessary to have a direct line of sight to a healthy church body that those friends could connect with once they decide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e56b058f1eb26ac445a1f/a8835a51-9402-4ec6-939d-9b649cf9b327/IMG-20220808-WA0004.jpg Relentless Forward Progress - Mobilize the Local Church Our love for God is what drives our love and commitment to others. Our local churches aren't necessarily buildings - they are people, they are a family. We desire that our neighborhoods would come to know who God is by the way we come alongside to serve them, offer support, and live our lives for Jesus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e56b058f1eb26ac445a1f/fdf47677-2ab7-420c-a8f1-a4c5db9d6395/Team+Photo+Sept+2023.jpg Relentless Forward Progress - Invest in Leaders Living out the Great Commission is a call to making disciples, not only converts. We are committed to developing, partnering with, and empowering our national leaders as they make disciples in their local context. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e56b058f1eb26ac445a1f/1630426814777-CLMH3LCYY3MZ7C1KH7IM/ReachGlobal-no-tag-Color1.png Relentless Forward Progress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e56b058f1eb26ac445a1f/1630426816442-061M3FGYYF65Z4V1326U/image-asset.octet-stream Relentless Forward Progress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e56b058f1eb26ac445a1f/1717862491469-1AVN4R7YUFL3CQOQLVUX/Melissa+Website+1.jpg Relentless Forward Progress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e56b058f1eb26ac445a1f/1717862604109-JEZLKW3QE52TURBKV752/Melissa+Website+1.jpg Relentless Forward Progress https://www.relentlessforwardprogress.org/news-1 daily 0.75 2021-08-31 https://www.relentlessforwardprogress.org/news-1/2019/3/12/medical-aid-sent-after-mass-flooding monthly 0.5 2021-08-31 https://www.relentlessforwardprogress.org/news-1/2019/3/12/another-church-established-in-karoo-africa monthly 0.5 2021-08-31 https://www.relentlessforwardprogress.org/news-1/2019/3/12/village-of-karoo-gets-clean-water monthly 0.5 2021-08-31 https://www.relentlessforwardprogress.org/blog daily 0.75 2024-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e56b058f1eb26ac445a1f/1732051911927-C9R8S3ZX811UX7J61P3J/Charlottenburg+Ratten.jpg Blog https://www.relentlessforwardprogress.org/blog/this-is-the-first-blog-post monthly 0.5 2024-11-19 https://www.relentlessforwardprogress.org/blog/category/Technical monthly 0.5
