By staying in touch with the Schaffer family (Gerhard, Maria & Early), Sharon has not only been able to bless them in their needs, but has been given opportunity to share in a number of women's groups, Bible studies & home fellowships. They are spread from the Danube valley of Lower Austria to the mountains of Styria.
Last Summer, our friend Heidi, originally from Germany, was able to come along to minister as well.
The Eilen family was part of our church in Austria until 1995. They have had some ups & downs, but continue to trust the Lord. Their son, Sebastian, had the privilege of attending Gordon College, a Christian institution in Massachusetts. We got to be there for his graduation.
Sebastian is back in Austria with his family. He would like to be a missionary businessman to China eventually, as God provides. He caught the vision studying Chinese & spending a semester in China. Right now he waiting to do his alternative military service.
The Eilen family is another contact we still treasure from our time in Austria. Sharon looks forward to catching up & ministering to them while she is there.
