Walter Heidenreich read about him here is visiting the Austin area from his homeland, Germany. He has spoken at Hope Chapel when he has visited in the past. He’s speaking at the Sunday Night Church at 5:30 p.m. (Easter Sunday)

He and his wife, Irene, lead FCJG (Free Christian Youth Community) in Lüdenscheid. What once started with a drug rehab center has grown into a worldwide ministry in the past three decades. including HELP International, the international ministry branch.

Walter had a powerful encounter with God while he was still a drug addict with no Christians around, and God radically changed his life. Since this encounter Walter has been walking with God, fervently burning for Jesus, revival, and missions.

We wanted to make sure those of you who know him (or wanted to meet from him) were aware of this opportunity to interact with him this coming Sunday night

Dearly Beloved,

I recently posted to my blog what I consider a most beautiful and worship-filled video of the Australian singer Dami Im performing ‘This is My Desire’.  If you are looking for five minutes of inspiration, put on the headphones, go to my blog here, close your eyes and worship with this singer.  –geno
