Good News! Hearts are being changed!

• Attendance is on the rise at Bread of Life Church in Austria! Exciting things are happening with the current message series, “A Heart for God.” Lives are being transformed by God’s Word.

• Children’s ministry is becoming a reality this month! This is a breakthrough for this pioneer work! I gave up my office at the church so we could make room for the kids.

• Unifying efforts among regional pastors continues and relationships are growing. There is a wonderful spirit of unity among participating pastors. Our congregation will host a regional prayer/worship night on April 6th! Exciting!

• Angie and I are continuing to build relationships with people in our community that are yet to come into the Kingdom. Please keep us in prayer as we reach out.

• On a personal note: We are proud of our son Stephen. He was promoted to store manager at his job! God answers prayer. He and Samantha are currently making their wedding plans. We are excited for them. Heather and Matt are the perfect parents for our granddaughter Faith. It is so awesome to video chat with them and see Faith growing up so wonderfully. It doesn't go without saying that we do miss them all.

The following pictures help you to see what we see...

Please keep us in prayer as we desperately need to speak, read, write and understand
the German language.

I had to turn in my Texas driver's license. Can't drive until Austrian
license comes in. So, I take advantage of the awesome rail system!

Pray with us for Germanic Europe. We live on
the border of Austria and Switzerland where the red

My office at home. I gave up the church office to make room for children's
ministry. We are very excited about offering this ministry.


Praying into Reality for 2012!

• Children’s ministry volunteers at Bread of Life, Feldkirch.

  We are very grateful to those who have responded to the Holy Spirit by praying and financially supporting this mission! May the Lord bless all who have blessed us according to His covenant..."I will bless those who bless you."

Whatever your dream is, God's is bigger.

It was invigorating to be in Texas for the holidays and for the "Light Your World - His Hands, His Feet, His Voice" Missions Conference at out home church. It was an unusual experience at the same time. A year ago, this conference was a responsibility of mine as Missions Pastor at Destiny Church. This year Angie and I were presented as Missions Ambassadors for the first time. Wow! What a difference a year makes!


"Whatever your dream is, God's is bigger!"

that surround the city.

We are amazed at those whom God has joined with us in this mission. Our hearts are so blessed by the way so many have united with us for the transformation of Germanic Europe. We continue to sow our lives into this soil knowing that good things are on the way. 


This is truly a breakout year for us in Austria. We are seeing hearts come together in the spirit of prayer and intercession with church leaders in this region. We will continue to invest in this prayer movement and call for unity among the churches in the Rhein Valley. I will be taking a group from Bread of Life Christian Center to a Vineyard Church in the city of Lustenau, Austria for a prayer gathering among churches. These are small gatherings but I believe we are punching throughout the atmosphere in Austria!

Prayer with Christian Leaders in Götzis, Austria

We are seeing Scripture fulfilled!


"...they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." - Mark 16:18


Healing Testimony! This dear lady in our church was miraculously healed in the altar following the message. Just like the scripture says...she received immediate healing in her arm that she could not move nor lift when she came to service. She was so excited that she was waving her arm and praising God for everyone to see. Others continued to pray for one another for some time afterwards.

Here are a few captions the conference. The ministry was so anointing and really blessed us as we continue to focus on the Nations! Our hearts are humbled by those who sacrifice their finances and give much time in prayer for the Germanic harvest. Also, we were blessed to have Peter and Elisabeth from Switzerland and Marlene from Austria at the conference.


It was an honor to be with so many "Kingdom Giants" who serve around the world. This network of Pastors, Churches, and Missionaries is a real God thing!

On a Personal Note...

It was so good to see family and friends. I was surprised by the church in Austria that helped send me to Texas for Christmas. This was a totally surprise for the family and a great blessing.

As a new "Grandpa" I had the awesome privilege to babysit my granddaughter Faith August Bell. What a joy! Angie and I had so much fun together with Heather and Faithy.

I was able to go with my son to buy his first gun and go to the shooting range several times. It was a real highlight for me to spend time with Stephen and Samantha.

I'm looking forward to Angie's return to Austria February 29th. I miss her and so do the people in Austria! She postponed returning so that she could fly back with Marlene who only speaks German. This will be a blessing for Marlene.
