Dear Friends,

          In our last letter, we reported we were in the process of obtaining a new type of visa which should transfer into a permanent residency after 5 years. We also were in the process of establishing BBFI as a non profit organization in Austria. We are pleased to report now that both of these have been accomplished. We are thankful to God for providing these two answers to our prayers. Thank you for praying with us!
          In addition, we have also seen the birth of the International Baptist Church / Graz. Our congregation is small but growing and looking forward in the near future of needing additional space. We are trusting God to provide us with the necessary finances to purchase our facilities which we currently lease. We are planning to return to the US this Spring to invite partners to join in our vision of owning a campus which will serve as an outreach center for the people of Graz.
          If you are interested in learning more, please email us and we will do our best to schedule time with you for a personal visit. We would enjoy the opportunity to explain what God is doing in Graz and our vision for the future of our ministry here.
