Austria is in need of church planters and evangelists to help people find God again. A measure of patience is required; people are slow to accept anything too radical (a sub-conscious cultural link to the Roman Catholic Church remains). Being able to build friendships in the local community is important.
It is essential that our missionaries can work in teams; the local ECM team and the local church leadership team. Our ministry involves working alongside Austrians; helping them to mature, planting churches with them and just as importantly learning from them.
We need people:
- who are walking closely with and listening to God and who expect him to do great things.
- who have a Bible College training.
- with a good command of German or the commitment to learn German for their first two years on the field.
- who are willing to engage with and adapt to Austrian culture.
- who are willing to continue training.
- who are willing to submit to local leadership and remain flexible.
Austria offers opportunities and challenges to Christians willing to serve long-term in helping the fledgling church re-connect people with God. Is that you?
Specifically we need:
For the new church plant in Krumpendorf / Portschach we are looking for a new children's worker (a couple or a single) to join this team by 2009.
The ministry in the Grace International Fellowship in Linz is growing and we would be interested in people with the gifts of evangelism among students and ethnic minorities.

.
Albania's Communist dictator, Enver Hoxha, proclaimed his country to be the world's first truly atheistic state. Under Hoxha's rule, Captain Berti Dosti was one of the elite who served on a communications team monitoring Albania's borders for American incursions. However, this diligent soldier left his country unguarded for 15 minutes a week as he regularly tuned into Trans World Radio's broadcasts, ultimately becoming a believer. Had he been discovered he would probably have been shot. Yet this young man with a growing faith continued to listen and would later pioneer the rebuilding of Albania's wrecked society.
