New Blog Site!

Greetings from Germany!

In order to add creativity to our blog site we are trying a new blog server. We are just getting started so please be patient as we experiment.

Above is a picture of our town, Kandern. This is the town we live in and where the Black Forest Academy is located. It is in the southwestern corner of Germany and about 25 minutes driving time from Basel, Switzerland.

On February 21, BFA will be hosting the annual, "Candlelight Dinner" which is an outreach to our German community. Each year has a different theme, always involving music, drama and a dinner. It is a great event put on by members of the local Christian community together with the staff and students of BFA. This year there will be a Gospel choir, mime, and the sign team to present the Gospel message. Both Marshall and Hannah will be participating in the music program.

Another form of outreach involving students and staff of BFA is our Basel outreach team. We go out on a Friday or Saturday evening with the goal of meeting people on the streets in order to share our faith. We have a number of musically- talented students and a mime team, who participate in this outreach.

Hannah is part of the music team.

I go along to drive the students, encourage them,

and to look for opportunities to meet people as well.

To watch the whole group, (Goodwill Music) follow this link to a youtube video of one of their practices:
