We want to share with you a challenging ministry opportunity that God has presented to us. From May 31 – July 2, 2010, God has offered us the chance to go to Vienna, Austria, with a group from the Memorial Road Church of Christ in Edmond, Oklahoma, along with the Interior Design Department of Oklahoma Christian University. This month-long missions trip will be spent reaching out and spreading the gospel to the Austrian people while redesigning and rebuilding a youth shelter.
While God has opened up a door for us to develop a greater heart of compassion for His people around the world, the exciting part is that you will be able to share in this compassion in a couple of ways.
First, you can pray for us and our fellow students and sponsors. We will need prayers that God will prepare us for our visit and bless our efforts as we minister to the people of Vienna. We will need prayers that God will open the hearts of the Austrian people to be receptive to His word. We will also need prayers that our financial needs will be met. At this time we need to raise $5,000 for the two of us, and that is quite a challenge!
Another way you can be involved is to help provide that financial support. We ask that you would please prayerfully consider supporting us with a small donation. We will need to raise half of our funds by January 25th in order to pay for airline tickets. The remaining amount will be needed in March to purchase ID cards, Eurail passes, and to pay for housing accommodations. Whether you feel led to contribute financially, through prayer, or both, all of your support is appreciated.
If you find that you are able to contribute financially, Davis Park Church of Christ in Modesto has graciously offered to be our support partners. Checks may be written to Davis Park Church of Christ with the notation “Vienna”. Davis Park leadership will forward support checks to us. For your tax purposes, please do not put our names on your check.
Checks may be mailed to:
Davis Park Church of Christ Attn: Vienna
901 W. Rumble Rd.
Modesto, CA 95350
We look forward to doing God's work in Vienna and will be happy to let you know all about how God has worked through this team when we return to California at the end of 2010.
God Bless,
