'Zum Johannisthaler' was the name of the restaurant that once served the people of Johannisthal, in the building we're renovating.
In an article of the Dec/08 issue of Berliner newspaper (discovered this weekend), a friendly neighbour wrote on how this once busy food venue was shut down overnight, stood abandoned for many years, and became vandalized and run down. He commented on the overgrown 'jungle' around the building which was purchased by an evangelical group in Dec 2007. The place is being renovated he wrote, and noted that you now hear people in the building say: 'Lobet den Herrn' (Praise the Lord) - words which before used to be directed as praise to the restaurant chef.
Pray that the people of the Johannisthal neighbourhood would have an insatiable hunger for God and His Truth.
Pray that we would already love them, and know how to bring them to God, and help them to know Jesus as their personal Saviour, Redeemer, Lord and Friend.
