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.

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...
