Update #5

So today we had a wonderful lunch and that should have given us a hint. The hint that we would be having dog food soop for supper, only to be followed by a scrumptulesent looking 'pancake' with all sorts of 'I don't know what' inside of it covered with 'I couldn' tell you' that looked a little like yogurt and I'm sure a goat had something to do with its production at some point. Not to worry though, we are fully stocked up on the finest chocalate a euro can buy!
Today has been wonderful... almost normal, well almost. We started our 'hot topics' meetings tonight and many deep issues were discussed, but none ever seem to be resolved. They went well and got minds thinking at all sorts of levels, including our own. We are a few minutes away from our American team meeting and I have heard bits and pieces of some amazing stories through out the day. I know of one student who professed Christ as his savior today, more who had extremely deep conversations with our students, others who emotionally 'threw up' on our students but I don't even know all the details yet! However, if we get done with our day while it is still today, I will try and have some of our students post a little about their day.
To whoever is reading this we truly covet your prayers now more than ever. Parts of us hang by a thread and other parts of us can't wait for morning to come so we can go again. Pray for the Austria team and the American team that God would be our hope, our joy and our strenght. Pray that God would stretch our team inwardly as well, that we would return to the States different than when we left. Pray that our own personal relationships with Christ would not be put aside during this time, but embrased more than ever. Pray that God would do amazing things tomorrow as we continue relationships and have a special night of very honest and genuine Gospel presentation. Pray that God would be glorified in us and through us this week and that whatever happens He gets all the glory. Also, remember Russ Clowdus as he heads up this ministry here in Austria.
