Dear Friends,

          Five years ago God brought us together with a family that would become dear friends. Over the past few years, we have experienced much together. We have laughed, cried and prayed together. The opportunity presented itself for Michael, the son in this family, to attend a LIFT camp in Ohio with our kids. We decided as a family to invest in this adventure for Michael. As a result, he accepted Christ! We were all thrilled for his decision. We are thankful that Oak Hill Baptist Church in Somerset, KY provided a camp scholarship for Michael.
          We have also been asking God to provide us with a building to call our own. We have used our home and rented hotel seminar rooms to hold Bible studies over the past few years. God has led our pastor and church, Pastor Don Baier and Seminole Baptist Temple to share in our dream of having a facility we can use to proclaim the Gospel here in Graz. I am writing this letter just after my return from the real estate office where I finalized a lease and an option to purchase our dream. We will lease the property for 12 – 18 months and then complete the purchase.
           We are stepping out by faith and know that God will provide the necessary finances to complete this dream. We are trusting God for the 250,000 Euro needed to provide a permanent facility which will be used to proclaim the Gospel to the people in Graz, Austria so that others like Michael can hear about the love of Jesus. We would appreciate your prayers as we move forward with this vital project. If you would be interested in helping meet this need, we would appreciate your help.

Partners in His Service,

Curt & Melinda Brown
