Concert review

The first two concerts promoted by Rennbahn 924:1Core Productions are now officially "in the books".

We had a great time putting together these concerts and seeing God's glory shine. The first concert was held on November 1st and featured Write This Down from the US, About An Author from Germany, and Before We Get Buried from Linz (a town in Austria about 2 hours away from Vienna). This concert was held at a concert venue downtown and had about 50 people in attendance. Very few school people attended this concert so the majority of the people at the concert were from outside the school community.

Less than a week later we hosted a concert featuring Showbread from the US, Safemode from Sweden, Before We Get Buried (again), Skrypt (a student from ICSV who is a very talented young man who writes and performs hip/hop and rap), and Kristi-Anna Eldridge. It was great to not only be able to host established bands, but to give opportunities for up and coming artists to use their God-given talents. This show was held at the school and as a result the audience was made up of mostly school kids. That being said, about a dozen of the folks in attendance were from outside of the school community.

This was a great evening where God was glorified throughout the concert through the lyrics and the messages shared from the stage. The energy in the room was great and it seemed as though everyone in the room was having a great time. The bands were very encouraged by this concert and the opportunity to get to know more about the ministry of the school. The night ended with a time of prayer with the band-members praying for various needs of the students and other concert-goers.

Next up for Rennbahn 924:1Core Productions is a concert at the end of January featuring Good Weather Forecast from Germany. 

Some good news for this is that we have been given the great opportunity to promote the organization and the upcoming concert at a Switchfoot concert next Saturday. Please keep us in your prayers as we look to spread the Gospel through these concerts.

and baby makes four...

that's right...our little family will soon become a foursome. We have found out that Rebecca is 6 weeks pregnant! There is definitely "something in the water" as all the families that live within our block have recently had a baby or are currently pregnant. Our baby will be the 6th baby born to ICSV staff in a span of less than a year (first one was born in early November and we will be welcoming our new addition in September). So, kind of unexpected, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless!

Fly on the wall and shipping possibilities

We left Gjakova yesterd to go to Pristina for the night before our flight back to Vienna today (Thursday)...but before we left, Berat invited us to join him at the Bethany Christian Services Community Center for an event as part of the USAid celebration of 15 year anniversary of providing development assistance in Kosovo. We helped Berat do some last minute set up stuff, but mostly, we just sat around waiting for the show to start. Maples and Faisal spent a lot of time with some of the young men and women who were waiting to present their vision to the USAid Executive Director. Soon, the delegation from USAid arrived and took a short tour of the center, in the middle of the tour, Berat took some time to introduce the Baseball camp to them...and then graciously introduced me. The delegation was surprised and excited to hear that there were some baseball opportunities. We spoke for a short while and it turns out that the Executive Director used to oversee the Denton Prog...

Who are these kids at ICSV...

Hi everyone... The first week and a half of school has been absolutely amazing! We have had some great opportunities to begin building lasting relationships with the students that God has brought to Vienna to be educated at the International Christian School of Vienna. Rebecca has been adjusting well to her role as secondary secretary. She is learning quickly the many demands of her new role and is doing quite well in supporting us teachers and the rest of the staff. Rebecca hard at work I have been really enjoying my classes. I have a total of 43 students spread out over 4 periods. The students I have represent 14 different home nations, with many of the students who are "Austrian" are first generation, so they are of other nationalities as well.  I have also had the opportunity to begin working with the soccer team...again, many nationalities are represented on the field, truly an international squad. Here are some pictures of the team training at the local club...
