Pray for Sylvia who is married, and the only Christian in her family. She needs a church too!

The Bible Study Group in Austria meets via the In-ternet each Sunday and Sacha disciples the group from Greenville, SC.

For most of the group, it is all the ‘church’ that is available to them. They come from different areas in Austria.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM

After the Retreat Nadia arranged a wonderful “SNOW DAY,” at her parents home. Christian drove us into the moun-tains into the middle of nowhere it seemed. My favorite Aus-trian meal of Wiener Schnitzel was served. We had so much fun that day that we had to insert this page, to attempt to take you to this beautiful part of Austria.

: Thank God for His dealing with Mario. So many of his immediate family see his ministry is from God, and are blessed by sitting under his Preaching and Teaching min-istry. Pray for him as Pas-tor/Evangelist, Husband, Fa-ther, Chiropractor, Student.

Praise God for the latest development for the church in Viterbo, Italy. Mario is now officially under, “the authority of” the session of Woodruff Road Presbyteri-an Church. This is a real answer to prayer for Dr. Mario, as the church has grown

to the size where it needs, sessional oversight.

Fortunately God arranged for us to meet on time and all was well. Steve couldn’t get my message from his answering machine or get his e-mail, before he left because of the power outage in Greenville. Dad voted son, best dressed traveler in Vienna.

that God would guide and

prepare Goeksan’s family for the transition.

After the retreat we met after work for dinner and continued our fellowship. On one of the evenings Sacha’s mother came with the group and was introduced to a fun loving group of believers. We all enjoyed her too.

Stephen and I could not get into the court house that we had lugged our suits specially for. Finally a desperate prayer asking God to get us in, and a lady drove up who spoke English with a pocket full of keys. She found where we were supposed to be and got us into the court.

PRAY FOR Christl, Goeksan’s mother-in-law, who still is a Jehovah’s witness. Heli her husband is surrounded by Jehovah’s witnesses socially, but is too smart to actually become one. Heli, is an Austrian from Breganz, He is clearly a thinking man and has remained an ’onlooker,’ to his wife Christl’s Jehovah’s Wit-ness beliefs.

Pictured from left to right are the runners up, Stephen, Alex and Heli.

In the providence of God, for the first time on any of my trips, I had a copy of, “What Ever Happened to Hell?” by John Blanchard. Heli’s first question was, “Is there a Hell”? Guess who was given that book?

Marisuz contacted me via a PEF pastor’s reformed web site. I made contact with him and exchanged e-mails & discovered that he had a keen mind and an interest in what the reformed faith looked like. So I arranged to go and visit him. He sent me his picture and gave me his address and I told him when I would be in Poland. He said the three days where fine and he would be available during the day as he works in the evening. Then the relation-ship was severed…… We soon found his apartment in Poland and met a friend and left notes for Marisuz, but no sign of him. Pray for God’s will concerning Marisuz’s desires.

Below are the differ modes of transport that were needed to go into Poland from Pavel’s house.

Pavel & Zenka Bartos,looking at a Polish map in their kitchen, as Paddy & Pavel pre-pare to go into Poland to look for Marisuz.

Vaduz is, and has been the capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein since 1342. The parish church of St. Florin’s reaches to the sky, and was built in 1873. The government building was completed in 1905. Vaduz and its famous castle over-looking Vaduz, is home to the pre-sent Royal family. More than 90% of the people who live in Liechten-stein are Roman Catholics.

Pray for Elisabeth and Hans, owners of this hotel in Liechtenstein, that they would find peace with God and that God would prosper their business and reveal Him-self to them both and their family.

Please continue to pray for our ministry in this the 4th smallest country in the world, that God would be our Shepherd, to lead, guide & provide for His elect.

Romans 10:20 quoting Isaiah 65:1"I was found by those who did not seek me;I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me."

Liechtenstein is 25 km long and 10 km wide & is one of the last of the Monarchies. The lineage of the ruling Liechtenstein fam-ily can be traced back to the12th century. The population is around 33,000 and a third are foreigners. Hilti, is a leading Co.

Hotel Bois Gentil. God kept a ‘drop in’ room open for Steve and me in the height of the ski season, so that we could witness to and his lovely fam-ily over breakfast. They were on a skiing holiday from Fife, Scotland.

“Well that might be O.K. if you understood the consequences.” This life could be OK, but in the next life there is no second chance to repent.

He won’t we explained. “…how can you escape the damnation of hell?” Matt. 23:23. John promised to read the booklet we left him. Pray for John Knox and his family that God would become the God of their whole family.

34 Years ago, these sweet people, Udo & Debbie, took me in-to their home for 3 months at L’Abri. It was the most beau-tiful expression of Christianity that I had ever experiencedand we remain good friends to this day.

Phillip Von Hess had the first Protestant University, here in Marburg, Germany.

Marburg is also the place where

Luther had “rooms” and Calvin & Zwingli debated the Lord’s Supper.

Today Dr. Jurgen Klautke, is a Professor at the Reformed Seminary in Marburg. Pray for the men teaching, and for more of them!

Thank the almighty God, that our four children read their bible and go with us to church.

Thank the almighty God that he gave us in this unchristian country a church where the inerrant, faithful and living Word of God is preached.

- Thank the almighty God that he gave this Reformed Seminary () to a Land where liberal theology came from and is so dominat-
