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.

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...

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!

The day that changed our lives...

Today (Nov 10) is Justin's birthday. Obviously, the birthday of your child holds a special meaning. Over the course of the last three days, I have been reminded of how exciting a birthday truly is. His excitement reminds me of the excitement we felt in anticipation of his birth, and, I think the excitement that God feels as his children enter into relationship with HIM. Justin seems to think that we will forget that today is his birthday. I base this on the simple fact that he has reminded us no less than 5 times/day since Sunday. I'm not sure exactly why, he hasn't quite been this excited about his birthday in the past; maybe it has something to do with this being the first birthday in Austria...I'm just not sure. But the joy that he carries (and expects from everyone around him) in anticipation of this day is a bit infectious. As many of you are aware, Justin was born in the middle of our senior year in high school. We were so emotionally unprepared (being so youn...
