Since Rev. Tiews will travel a lot on missionary business the family is moving to Telgte, which is close to Münster, Westphalia. Daughter Lillian already attended the last two weeks of the school year at the local Gymnasium and we are thankful for all the support from family, friends and kind folks here. Over twenty years ago a sister-city relationship was established between Telgte, Germany and Tomball, Texas under the leadership of Christian and many friendships were formed between the people of these two cities. Mission trips and youth exchanges took place and now the LORD sent us back here.

A blessed Christian couple: Lula’s parents, married 60 years. There are many Christian images, crucifixes, chapels, and former churches in the area. For many people they are only interesting cultural and historical documents. Maybe it is telling that there is a museum of religious culture in town (Religio), that reports about human religious traditions, but totally lacks understanding of what the Christian faith is all about. But we know that the Holy Spirit can move move mountains.
