Oasis team visit

I have been visiting the oasis team for a few days. This team helps refugees through regular programs including clothing room, Bible study(below), coffee night(above), hair cutting, children's ministry and over-night housing for homeless refugees. It's a powerful example of christ's love in action.
Pray for the team leaders below Carol and Tom and JoAnn as they lead this team through the many storms and crisis that the will face.

fall time in austria

I have been back from England for nearly a month.

My time has been spent catching up on ministry business including meetings with fellow teammates for mentoring and planning. I have also been getting ready for a couple team visits coming up. Next week I'll be visiting the Oasis team and the Rome team. This is important time to strengthen the relationship with these teams and leaders, to participate some in their ministry and to work together with them on their leadership and team stuff. Please pray for these meetings.

We had a short fall this year. The snow is all around. Like most Novembers in Austria, there are a lot of overcast foggy days. You can almost see the fog along this path. And in the second picture you can see it below in all of the valleys of Tyrol!

all saints day in austria

I was trimming some bushes outside our house and noticed that the sound of traffic nearly disappeared. So, I walked down to the local cemetery and this is what I saw.
Everyone was there paying and praying their respects to those passed away!
