RESIDENCE PERMITS!
God's plan is unfolding before our eyes! We have found favor with the Austrian Government and have received our "Aufenthaltstitel" (Residence Permit). Some here believe that this is a miracle because these permits have been very difficult to come by. But, we have answered God's call and He has opened this door with His mighty hand and outstretched arm. Without this permit we could not do what we need to do in Austria and Germanic Europe.

| This is where we applied for our Residence Permits. It will take you 5 minutes to tell someone where you worked. |
A CALL TO PRAYER!
I took a walk one day for the purpose of talking to the Lord about this work and the future. He spoke to me that we were to bring the people together and cry out to Him in passionate prayer for the Church, the City, the Region and the Nation. So, we've dedicated our Wednesday meetings to do just that until the Lord says differently. Our desire is to lead the people into expressive worship and prayer. Momentum is building as we cry out to the Lord together. We've had 14 people to come the last several weeks. This is amazing!

| This is the beginning of a prayer movement for Feldkirch. |
 |
| From time to time Angie and I would drive up into the mountains above our city and pray for God's kingdom to come and His will be done. |
MINISTRY TRANSITION!
Gerda Green (Gerda and Joe Green pioneered this ministry) returned this week from San Antonio to be with us. It was really good to see her. It was all business for us while she was here. We had to do several legal things concerning the ministry of Bread of Life Christliches Zentrum. We had a great leadership meeting at Bread of Life and all has gone well. Saturday night we had Gerda minister and she transferred the staff of spiritual authority to Angie and I. We sure did miss Bro. Joe and wish that he could have been with us. We are so appreciative of their labor of love that birthed this ministry in difficult soil. The Green's will always have a place at Bread of Life! So, this has finalized the transition of spiritual authority and the future is ahead of us all.

We are very grateful for the leaders here at Bread of Life and all who attend. Every week we are becoming more familiar with one another. We can't mention names because so many have been a blessing. We have had powerful times of altar ministry where people were delivered from tormenting spirits and experiencing love and peace like they have never felt. God is giving the right Word every week.
We know that we have just begun and the seeds that have been sown in this land will bring forth fruit in this generation. We will continue to preach the gospel of the kingdom without hesitation and with boldness. We ask you to keep this ministry in your prayers as we invade systems of hell and bondage with God's Word, Love and Power liberating all who are sick and oppressed of the devil. God is building a city of love here at Bread of Life!

LANGUAGE CLASSES!
I'm experiencing many "first" since coming to Austria. We've never been Missions Ambassadors, never had a Residence Permit in a foreign country, never lived in a foreign country, never led a ministry with translators and have never taken foreign language classes. Angie will begin in 2012. The countries represented in my language class are: Bosnia, Croatia, Turkey, Afghanistan, Serbia, Brazil and Italy. I try to shine. The German that we are learning together is the only common language, so it's going slow. Pray with me that the Holy Spirit will be present to do what I can't do yet.

Angie and I celebrated our 27th Wedding Anniversary October 22nd. We stayed local and rode the cable car up the mountain in Dornbirn. It was a great day! We walked the mountain trails and enjoyed God's creation.
PRAYER REQUEST!
We are grateful to all who have sacrificed in prayer and in finances for the sake of the Gospel in Austria. This means everything to us.

| Up, Up and Up! |
 |
| We love our new country! There are cities to be taken! There are valleys to be reached! There are regions to fall to the Gospel! |
We are grateful to all who have sacrificed in prayer and in finances for the sake of the Gospel in Austria. This means everything to us.
1. Unity and agreement among God's people.
2. Increased boldness in the Holy Spirit to be faithful witnesses.
3. Youth and children to be rescued from bondage and deception.
4. Holy Spirit anointing to turn hearts to God as the Gospel is preached.
5. Supply and finance to be released to Bread of Life supernaturally.
6. Hearts to be on fire for the Lord, totally yielded to Him and His purpose.
7. Increased levels of prayer and fasting for Harvest and the Laborers to arise in Austria.
8. Husbands and fathers to turn to God.

Doug and Angie. We continue to pray for your awesome work in Austria and believe that the Harvest is ripe.

Ahh but the kingdom is already here. Where you might ask?
Within you. Luke 17:20-21 (KJV)
And not only that, it is the first thing Christ tells us to seek. Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
Seek within yourself first.
Hope this helps...
Thank you for the comments. The kingdom is here and within us. But, there are countless numbers of people who have no realization of the gospel, the indwelling Christ and His kingdom. They have no understanding of this or a personal experience with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we proclaim the kingdom according to Matthew 10:7-8.
