Herrnhut




This is the castle, where we live!
This is a super cool town! Herrnhut is a foundation of some interesting Christian traditions. The idea of the daily word or verse comes from this town! They would way back when, I believe the tour guide said 100 years ago, shout the daily word or verse in your house, going door to door. They would just open your front door and yell it inside your house! It's so neat, the history of this town is very, fiery passionate! I will write more on the history in another blog soon! Here are some pics of the town, well some, there are a lot! I will write more on the history in another blog soon! Here are some pics of the town, well some there are a lot!









All of the buildings are older and look spectacular with brick and the streets are all cobblestone and sidewalk.
This is the main street in Herrnhut, when you enter it coming from the castle.






















The Jesus Haus Church!

Jesus Haus
The Jesus Haus, I would just like to say is a pretty cool place! I went there this past Sunday and it was moving! They had the worship, and sermon in German and Enlgish and even though there was only a few of us singing the songs in English we could pick up the tune and sing along with the others. It was cool that so far from home in Germany we all knew the same worship and were able to sing and praise to gether!
