Fall update 2011

Dear Friends,

To those of you helping us with regular financial support we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. For those of you who regularly pray for us we also thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have helped us get started and remain at the ministry to return to Austria. God’s faithfulness through His people is humbling. Each week God works through us to minister “at home” and we are grateful for preaching and teaching opportunities. At the same time we are also saddened that we are not in yet in Austria where the need is so great. Europe remains one of the most spiritually dark places on the face of the earth. In spite of all their wealth and advancements many in Europe are returning to paganism, atheism, Islam and anything other than Biblical Christianity. We cannot abandon them.
We still have many who have expressed interest in helping us return but have not been able to add us to their support family. If you are reading this and would like to help the gospel get to Austria would you please consider adding us in the next few months? It would be a great encouragement to us. While we recognize that mission’s is God’s work from start to finish, we must also recognize that God calls His people to go and to send. When His people go, share the gospel and make disciples they go with the authority and power of Jesus Christ. How can we ever go wrong sending another missionary to a foreign land? Again, if you can add us in the next few months it will be a great encouragement to us and will also help us set a date. The field remains “white unto harvest” among the people of Austria. God often gives us second chances in life but there are no second chances to harvest a ripe crop. Many in Europe are ripe for a relationship with Jesus!

Thank you,

Eric & Sarah
