On a good note there are numerous missionary churches around most if not all US military installations that not only reach out to the US military, but the local community as well. While stationed at Ramstein AB we attended Rheinland Baptist Church located outside the gate. We were there for five years. Gib Wood, a missionary with Baptist Missions to Forgotten Peoples, has led this work since 1986. It is a church of about 250 with roughly 30-40 Germans attending weekly. In our 17 years in Germany we attended several good "American Military" churches in England, Italy, Germany, Belgium, etc. One of their objectives is to see locals’ established churches in the surrounding areas.

You're not going to give away who the missiologist is, by any chance? Here in South Africa things are slightly more complicated, with some strong Christendom structures and thinking, yet the institution can be pretty missional too. Will it follow the church in Europe? I'm not sure...I think we're a different animal, and that's probably due to generally being more cultural conservative. Maybe globalisation will change that...

It has moved our entire community, strengthened our resolve, quickened our efforts and kept us awake last night. It moved us emotionally over those we are loving to Christ, as one of those Celtic communities. Is there more to this conversation you could email me? Struck my heart strings and fired up my passion and resolve. Sam,
