From the moment we knew God was leading us to each other back in 1981, we sensed His call on our lives to serve Him in a cross-cultural context - we just didn't know it would be in Austria. But God guided us, taking our love for His Word and the local church, and our background as teachers, and putting us in a place where we could use our gifts to help build the church in Austria. We arrived in Vienna in 1986 and have never looked back.
Our ministry over nearly 40 years in Austria has included theological education, church and mission leadership, and making disciples. Since the fall of 2023 we have narrowed our focus to local ministry in Vienna, Austria. (with some exceptions), teaching: leading, and discipling in the Kagran Evangelical Church (a German-speaking church made up of Austrians as well as other nationalities).
