By His Grace

Only 1 in every 200 people in Innsbruck, Austria professes Christ as their Savior. God is leading us to this city; we’d love to share our journey with you.

In the summer of 2009, Seth served with ReachGlobal at a Christian English camp near Innsbruck. During his three weeks there, his passion grew for the youth in this spiritually dark country. As a couple, this desire was further developed while serving on a youth team in Wichita. In the year and a half we’ve been married, God has been tugging at our hearts about Innsbruck. Six months ago God provided an opportunity to serve in Innsbruck, through ReachGlobal for 23 months. By some miracle, we were accepted! 

Innsbruck’s ministry team is geared toward youth, and mobilizing them for Christ. We’d be involved with the Lighthouse, (similar to a Christian Youth Center) which is open throughout the school year, and various English and Sports camps held throughout the summer. We’d also be directly working with local churches and youth groups as well as small groups, bible studies and various outreaches.

One of our main focuses of ministry will be sports. We are looking forward to this opportunity of utilizing athletics as an avenue to form relationships with youth. We’re relying on God and are excited to see how He will use our gifts and experiences to further His Kingdom.

We need your help! God has designed the body of Christ to work together. Our hope and prayer is that you will come alongside us as we enter this ministry. We need your prayers! While serving God, trials and hardships are sure to come. It will also take time getting accustom to a new culture and living situation, as well as learning a whole new language! In order to go, we need to raise roughly $6,000 per month. Our goal is to be in Innsbruck by January 1, 2013. However, we’d love to be there by September if the Lord wills. If you feel called to help with God’s work in Austria by supporting us financially, it would bless us as well as the youth there.

How than can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they

believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News!” (Romans 10:14-15)

In order for us to reach those in Austria with Christ’s love,

we need YOUR help. Your partnering with us in this is crucial.

Enclosed is support information for your convenience.

In Christ,

Seth & Alyssa Sander
