Partner with us as we minister to Kosovo, and the Balkan Region!

Partner with us as we minister in Kosovo!

Recently, we made a switch in sending agencies. Our family continues to work to spread the gospel and make disciples in Kosovo, but we are now doing so under the leadership and accountability of GoSendMe Global.

Michael has been accepted as a full time missionary and has been appointed as the Balkan Regional Leader for GSM.

An important element of this ministry is that we trust God to provide financial support for his salary. Financial supporters give to GSM and then from these gifts, we are able to fund projects, salary, and other ministry related expenses.

Info about GSM and instructions for setting up a donation
Please read through the "why and how" page about GSM and our giving structure. If you are feeling led to be a financial partner in our ministry, please follow the link to GSM's secure giving page. It is on this page where you will establish your new monthly transaction in support of our ministry to Kosovo with GSM.

You'll need to manually choose "Michael and Rebecca Johnstone to Kosovo" as the donation designation...and you can also choose to establish an automatic giving schedule by choosing the regularity of your transaction.

You can also give by check using posted mail by printing and filling out a donation card and mailing this card with the check to PO Box 913106 Sherman, TX 75091.

This means that we have the opportunity to partner with friends, family, and church communities to impact the youth of Kosovo.

Some great things have happened in Kosovo and we are so excited about the work that God continues to do. This ministry vision is exciting, but we are not called to do this alone. We blessed to be able to invite you to join us in doing the work of the Lord together.

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...
