Matthias Lohmann, a German pastor and friend of Desiring God, shares about a new evangelical network in Germany and their conference next month in Hamburg:
Over the last two years, some like-minded pastors and theologians have come together to discuss possibilities for advancing a biblical understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ among German-speaking countries. One result of this has been the development of the network Evangelium 21 (in English, “Gospel 21”). Evangelium 21 helps to foster growth in understanding, proclaiming, and living the gospel in the 21st century through hosting conferences (especially for Christians in leadership), providing resources, and facilitating further networking.
The first Evangelium 21 conference will be held August 18-20, 2011 in Hamburg, Germany with the theme “The Centrality of the Gospel in the Church.” Matt Schmucker of 9Marks Ministries will be the keynote speaker, and several German pastors and theologians will address various aspects of gospel-driven ministry. All conference sessions will be available in German and English. The second Evangelium 21 conference dates are already set for May 13-15, 2012 in Hamburg, with John Piper and D. A. Carson as keynote speakers.
Please pray for a blessed conference, and that the influence of Evangelium 21 will be a blessing to German-speaking Europe.
