Undeniable Grace

Our most recent update sent out through e-mail. If you would like to receive these e-mails let us know by email: alyssa.sander@efca.org

We are at 80% of our funds!

We are getting closer to our departure date every day now and we are getting very excited to join the ministry team there in Innsbruck. We do have to be at 100% before we can leave. Lord willing that will be before the end of the year! Be in prayer for us as we raise our final 20%. Thank you for all you have done for us, both through prayer and financially. Everyone has been a blessing and encouragement to us. If you are wanting to give you canclick here. Our number is 1753.

We visited a big cat rescue center. Many of the tigers, lions and leopards at the center had been abused, neglected or unwanted by their previous owner. So this place decided to take them in. I got to thinking about this, It reminded me of many of us. A lot of us have felt unwanted or unloved or have been abused, neglected or not cared for. Thanks be to God for His overwhelming love and grace towards us! Just like the people that had a heart for these animals, God has even a greater love for us. While others may see unlovable, worthless people, Our Father sees great potential. We should be abundantly glad He's not just interested in adopting the best of the best! Our hope is that God can use us to show His love to those in Austria 


Dave Osterhus will be our team leader while in Austria. Dave Initially arrived about 15 years ago and has since met his wife in Austria who serves as part of the ministry team as well. They have two wonderful(So we've heard) kids, Jakob and Jana! God has blessed us with a awesome team and team leader who desire to bringGod glory by reaching Austrian youth for Christ. Dave has been a huge support and encouragement while preparing to go.

Refreshed!

Recently, we were able to spend a couple of days away from everything and spend time just the two of us. We definitely feel a little more refreshed after spending time relaxing together and in prayer. We hope to be able use the time away we had to re-focus and maintain excitement for what God has in store!
