Homeward Bound - July 20

I'm currently writing this entry at about 35,000 feet (and climbing) while sitting in a Boeing 747, flying over Ireland after having just left the continent of Europe.

It's been largely impossible to keep a detailed journal or keep this blog up-to-date over the past 10 days ... mostly because my schedule has been so incredibly full, with sleep being a major priority if not on the road, in ministry or visiting. I've rarely had consistent internet access which has put a bit of a "cramp in my style". Sorry to let you down if you've wondered what's been going on. I will, however, do my best to give an account of the last 2 weeks ... Perhaps with the help of the Holy Spirit and the many photos to jog my memory, I'll be able to describe the incredible time I've had and some of the amazing things the Lord has done in this great nation .... Deutschland.

I'm presently feeling very emotional (as well as being touched by Holy Spirit) as I think of what I've experienced ... the wonderful relationships I've been able to establish and the spiritual ties that I believe I now have to my Father's Land .... I know now that I'm a son of this ancient land Germany and that my real inheritance as a person is here.

The Father's message to the German people is: "Can you hear my voice? I'm calling you. Can you feel my heartbeat? It beats for you. It's time to finally find your true identity .... in Me! This land is ... 'Vater's Land'."

As much as I have been a messenger ... no ... a carrier of this message, I now know that it is spoken to me as well, because truly the journey through this land has tapped into and has begun to solidify in me my own identity. I've found my roots!

This doesn't change the fact that I'm a Canadian ... actually I think I'm even more Canadian than ever because I've discovered my roots. Adding to that sonship of the Most High and citizenship in the Kingdom, results in a feeling of belonging and a sense of wholeness of identity that I've never truly experienced until now. I'm happy to be a Canadian ( I was born there), I'm happy to be a German (I really do belong!) and I'm happy to be my heavenly Father's son!

I'm running out of battery power, so I'll sign off for now .... I'm on my way home .... truly, home. I really believe that it's "Mission Accomplished", although it's probably "Part One" for me.
See you all soon my brothers and sisters.
More later.

Hallo Chris,

ich bin sehr erstaunt und ich freue mich über das was der Herr
dir in der Zeit in Deutschland gezeigt hat. Es ist gut zu wissen wo man hingehört.
Du bist eine große Bereicherung für uns und wir vermissen dich.
Danke für alles. Thanks to the Lord.

Deine Birgit

Lieber Christoph,
es war eine gute Zeit hier mit Dir und der Allen Froese Band. Was Du uns gesagt hast, stimmt ganz genau in unsere Gemeinde-Situation hier in Zossen: Was ist unsere wahre Identität? Es dar kein Aushängeschild sein, sondern nur Gott allein! Danach sind wir auf der Suche. Das ist kein leichter Weg und Du hast uns wieder ein Puzzleteilchen dafür mitgebracht. Vielen, vielen Dank.
Sophie und Lisa vermissen Dich. Wir beten für Dich und Deine Familie.
Gottes Segen und Herzliche Grüße.
Kati
