The Lidfors drop in on some old friends!
For thirty eight years, Germany was Bread of Life’s primary base of operations for ministry. During that time we were involved in church planting and running an evening Bible school in the region around Nuremburg and Firth in addition to our missions work in developing countries. Our final ministry project in Germany was to start and lead a house church, which we did for five years from 2015 – 2020 until Bob and Barbara Lidfors moved back to Minnesota.
Ministry travel plans were put on hold during the time when COVID was preventing travel. However, in 2023 Bob and Barbara resumed their ministry travel as they went to India in January and Bob went to Uganda in March.
More recently, they returned to Germany in October for a visit to their house church. It was very encouraging to see how the group had grown into two house churches. It was especially gratifying to see how the people care for one another outside of the weekly meetings through communication and prayer for needs of the individuals. Since this was a special time of having Bob and Barbara with them, the two groups had joint meetings on two weekends plus an outing on the first weekend. Bob and Barbara maintain contact with the house churches through periodic Zoom calls and emails.
