Dear Friends,

          Several years ago, God gave us a vision to develop a team to minister to the needs of the people we would encounter in Austria. God gave us this burden long before we even knew Austria was where He wanted us to serve. God allowed the dream of the “A” Team to be realized in 2004 when the Caldwell and Lantrip families arrived in Graz. As they adjusted to living in a foreign country and learning a new language and culture, they also immediately began working in the Persian ministry God had given us. This ministry has been very rewarding as we have witnessed God at work in the lives of the dear friends with whom He has blessed us.
          Last fall, we felt led by God to begin a new international Bible study. We have seen God bless in this new ministry venture which is making a difference in the lives of those who faithfully attend. After the successful birth of this new ministry, the Caldwell and Lantrip families will be transitioning into a new phase of ministry. While we are sad we won’t be working together as the “A” Team, we understand they must follow the direction in which they feel led.
          Please join us in praying that God will use them to reach people for the Gospel as they labor for Him. We also appreciate your prayers for our family as we continue what God has begun in the international Bible study.
