Update #4

Today was incredible... the best day yet. I am so proud of our students, everyone here litterally looks to each of them just like they were adults. I can say that our entire team is being challened both inwardly and outwardly in ways that can only be described in spoken words. It is hard to describe the range of emotions that rage through our team, to see the grace of God move in a place like this and to take the hits from this warfare that we find ourselves in. We are learning to lean on Him more and more as the days go by and we are learning to trust one another more as well.
As far as the specific ministry goes we had a breakthrough with the muslim kids that are here. They are no longer apposed to listening to the gospel and the even sat through an evening talk and worship without sleep, leaving or talking the whole time! We sat around tonight and talked about these students by name and I was amazed listening to our students deeply discuss the hearts of these kids. They have busted into their worlds, served the heck out of them and earned their trust. We have also been talking about pulling some of these kids aside and pushing them to become leaders. Their is definately a lack of Christian leadership in Austria and we talked through a few kids here that have relationships with Christ and great potential to lead their peers.
I could not be more proud of a group of people as this to serve along side. Please pray that God would protect us from the evil one and that God would sustain us physically, emotionally and spiritually. Truly our hope is in Him.
