Dear Pastor Friend,

I became acquainted with the Jürgen and Sherri Notz when they were in school at BBC. Jürgen is a German national who came to the US to prepare himself to be a church planter in his homeland of Germany. I have visited in their home in Germany several times, have been in their church, seen their ministry and their work ethic. In my opinion, they are choice servants of God and have done a wonderful work. 

Below you will find a letter from Jürgen Notz. Please consider extending an invitation to the Notz family to present their need to your church.

Dear Pastor, Churches and Friends,

After 20 years of serving the Lord on the field of Germany, we find ourselves in dire need of raising more support. A large part of our support (almost 50%) has been supplied by Jürgen´s home church here in Germany, but this church will no longer be able to continue supporting us as of the beginning of 2010. With the very weak economy this truly makes it an emergency situation and we desperately need your help.

We are tentatively planning to be in the U.S. from the fall of 2010 to spring of 2011. We would be honored if we could come by and share what the Lord is doing here in Germany with you and your people.

Our vision is to start more churches here in Germany but with the lack of funding our progress has been stalled. We have seen no new missionaries coming to Germany in the last few years, but have seen many leaving the field.

We started a church in Münsingen, Germany 15 years ago. We are praying for the right man to come along as pastor so that we can get on with more church planting. We are also involved in an outreach for Filipinos in the greater Stuttgart area. We would one day like to see a church started out of this group as well.

We have listed a few pastors and missionaries as references.
