Field Report
Germany is a large country in the heart of Europe, bordered by nine other nations, with deep forests, wide rivers, and ancient cities that have stood for more than a thousand years. It is the country where a monk named Martin Luther nailed his famous theses to a church door and helped spark the Reformation, changing how millions of people understood the Bible. Today Germany is a wealthy and modern nation, but many of its people have drifted far from the Christian faith their ancestors once held, which makes it an important place to pray for.
