It's been this way! + frekfestvideo!

We are just arrived from Ansbach as said before. After wee have been in Prag wee drove to Liberec to visit Monica, Tomas, Patrick and some others. They have been part of the organizing team at Freakfest and were doing an trip with there community somewhere really rural near the German-Czech border. We were there and just chatted a bit, did worshipping and prayed for them. In the evening Alan was to preach. It has been very cool, until he said it is time for Frede and me to go on... *gulp*. We had been in common that in each case the other one should do it ;-). In the end Frede did the credentials and Alan offered to pray with Tina for love and good relationships between each other and to god, because they have a gift for this. Frede and I prayed for passion and fire. First nobody came... and then nearly everybody came to the front and wanted us to pray for them. So we predicted and prayed as much as possible and i think it has been very cool. Just until a woman stood in the door and offended us in czech. Some minutes later we understood, that she tried to sleep on the upper floor and understood every wordaccentuated with guitarsounds and occasional screamings etc :-) a short glimps to the clock and we understood... (it has been about half past one already). So down in the cellar and continuing praying... God is just really cool guy! On the next day we started our trip to Ansbach just after a big portion of Schnitzel with dumplings and french fires. The trips with the Americans are always a lot of fun. Primarily because of Eric (remember? The guy from India who is an american too) who is all the time saying „schwainscheiss“ or „schwainflaisschsaiss“... then Alan adds his „schaisagail“ dazu and we are roaring with laughter... ;-). In Ansbach we were guests of Ingo and Alex and attended the divine service on sunday. It has been really awesome. First Frede preached and then Alan. And he really rocked. Sometimes i nearly didn't bare to translate because we has been really hard. It was about relationship to jesus and if the people see jesus in our lives. Alan did many announcements and it has really been a „kick in the ass“-prediction. (I fearedall the time that we would been beaten up afterwards ;-). After that we had a phat praying time and all in all it has been as usual: Awesome! God rocks and we are really thankful, that Alan and Tina are with us. So, this has been it... let's see whats happening next.

Here some nice things:

On the road in the name of the Lord

with a stop in Prague, where I am sitting at a czech keyboard nearly despairing.... Alan, Tina, Frede and I, visited the Freaks in Löbau yesterday and hanged around with them. Today we had planed to go to Görlitz, but we had the impression that we should dirve to Prague. And there we are. We will stay one day longer and then we will see... we met hier an american who moved to prague as a missionary. He was at Freakfest too and met us accidentaly on the streetm, in the center of Prague. After that we met Eric. He has just arrived from India and landed in Prague (He is an American too) and was a part of Freakass last year. He is a friend of Alan and Tina and we heared, that his airplane would land in Prague, so we picked him up at there. The missionary form America (don't lose the Track of it ;-) brought two friends from Colorado with him, so we had a big meeting in front of the Kentucky Fried Chicken in the inner city of Prague. In the end Sascha (we know him from Freakfest too) came along with some friends... really cool! Tomorrow we are going to meet the freaks from Prague to pray with them. We are really looking forward to this. In the afternoon it's time again to get back to the inner city for a freestyle-worshipping and a hangaroundwithotherpeopleandmakethembelievers-session ;-) or what ever. Let's see what will happen. Blessings to you all. Unfortunately I am not ably to post some pictures from here, but that will come next week....

Yesterday Frede bought our new Bandbus: Year of construction: 1983. It is a former disaster mitigation bus... very cool. Pictures will come soon.

Jesus rocks the Czech Republik

Awesome! Simply, awesome!
After a funny Roadtrip through Poland we arrived at the camping site near the Czech-Poland border Friday at 7 p.m. And we have been welcomed very dearly. After that we checked out the location.
In the beginning there were just a few people, but that changed rapidly. First we moved to our Band-Bungalow and waited for the other guys from Berlin (all in all more than 20 boys and girls). We visited the concert of Jumbo Jet (they rock!) and went swimming. On the next morning on more time swimming (can there be anything better than to stand up an wank 100 meters to the lukewarm lake and jump in?). After that the service started, where we did th worshipping and the worshipping was really saturated with holy spirit and we have been really smashed and just smiling all the time. It is really cool to see people loving Jesus and expressing it... the prediction has been very cool, too. After that wew continued chilling, chatting, swimming, eating (cutlet from veal, french fries, salad for 2 Euro – about 2,40 Dollar). Alan and Tina from the United States were with us and will stay a while with us in Berlin. The chairmen of the Freakfest had just spontaneous decided that Alan should predict on Sunday... In the evening we had our first concert for a long time again. And despite we all threee were tired and I had prefered to go to sleep, it really rocked... and a fter the 3rd Song there was no fatigue left. And after that we continued the already familiar chilling, chatting and swimming stuff.
At the next morning Alan preached and it has really moved us all. It was simply about the love of god and our relationships and it ended up with tears for many people ( for example for me) and with the extremely strong feeling that the almighty god really loves us... after that we gathered in the prayertent and prayed for all the chairmen in czech and what can I say... it was just awesome. God was really there and talked a lot. One more time tears and the assuredness: JESUS REALLY ROCKS IN CZECH!!!
Wir really thankful, that we could have been there celebrating Jesus together. An it fells good to know that you don't need a lot of structure, organisation, experience or money to create a veryweekend with Jesus and a bunch of czech, polish, american and german siters and brothers.
Frede went with Alan, Tina, Maren and Robbi to Dresden and Löbau and will arrive tomorrow in Berlin... All in all a very awesome Jesusfestival. THANK YOU JESUS!!

GOD IS SO COOL!!!

Even extremely cool. We started a roadrunner action today... we have been at various places, left the car unlocked with open window and my purse in front. When we drove home I realized, that my purse wasn't there any more. So we started to look everywhere... everything was clear. Stolen. Shit! I drove back home with the Underground without my wallet (and of course without a ticket) and of course there were ticket collectors. I have been ready for the worst but just like a wonder they didn't control me... (I have a ticket in normal terms ;-)
Then I realized that my ID Card (and the one of my wife too) were still in my purse and that we wanted to go to the Czech Republik on friday.... SHIT!!! i thought. It's even getting worse. I was in a really bad mood and asked god how this could be that we are doing action for him and my purse is beeing stolen. And in addition my ID Card stolen and maybe we can't play in the Czech Republic. Why???? So I come home, call Frede and ask him to search the whole car for my purse, just if maybe ....

then I adjured one more time to god, that he should do something (after I realized, that all my EC-Cards were in there). After the "amen" I go into my room and on the cupboard... lies my purse. Cool!!! I had it definetly with me (I bought some bootlaces in a shop and there I had it definetly in my hand.) Frede remembered that I had it in my hand too. And now it is on my cupboard. That is what I call a wunder. THANK YOU GOD!

Fete de la musique + Volxbibel

tomorrow is "Fete de la musique" in berlin and all over the world. That means everywhere (really everywhere) there are guys making music on the streets. And we will be one of them and will do some Roadrunner action... it will be really cool without any problems with the pigs ;-)

Martin Dreyer is writing the volxbibel. This is a transformation of the bible into slang german. Really cool and really ingenious. But then, it is questioned and some lowbrow-christians are going on barricades because words like "shit" are used in there.

Just right now

...we have arrived back in Berlin. It was a really extreme action. All in all it has been 800 km (About 432 miles) and not 300 km (about 162 miles) as we thought. We started at half past one and arrived much too late (as usual ;-)). We played there in the CCN-parish house (Christ Center Neum#$uuml#unster). At the door there was a poster calling "Unplugged music, good bands, good music". Ok., it wasn't really unplugged. Rather extremely plugged. Unfortunatly there have been just a few people, so we took our megaphones (MEGAPhONES ARE COOL!!!... you should always have one with you) and went to the park round the corner and have invited some punx and alcohol or drug addicted. And they came and we started to rock. It was really cool i guess. Afterwards we had a nice talk with the guys from the Park and prayed for some... (jesus rocks) then back into the car and 5 hours back home.

Arno has mailed us 3 mp3s so that we can imagine how the CD is going to sound. The others haven't listened to it yet, but I listen to it already the 7th time... ;-) and in my oppinion it really rocks!! On our trip back home we talked about our "roadrunner actions" (look at: MAUERPARK ROCKEN) and realized that it would be cool to post some of the things that are happening, because sometimes very strange but cool things happen. I think I'll do it tomorrow.

WHERE THE %&#$* IS NEUMÜNSTER??

Julian just called up to ask if we would like to play a gig in Neumünster? .... Tomorrow... yes, why not? So let's get on to Neumünster, what is lying somewhere north of Hamburg.

Yesterday, we met a guy in the Mauerpark (hello Jens ;-) who is a hobby-photographer and we chatted a bit and he said, that he would like to shoot some bandphotos of us. At a desperate US-Radarstation on the Teufelsberg in Berlin. I'm really curious. He wanted to call back today.

What Now?

i have just phoned with Arno and we have chatted a little bit about our future plans... we are just thinking about the best way to sell the CD and how we could, may and should do it. If you have a good Idea to that: Just post it. I have called various labels... let's see.

We are planning to buy a bus. Though Fredes Playmobil is really cool (even if it is unsightly) but small. A real bus would be cool for the summer! So, if you have got one or know anybody who has one and wants to sell it, just mail us. If not: have a nice weekend!


playmobil... for sale. xxxxxxxxxxxxarno
