An Important Request

Many of you already received this in email form, but here it is for those of you who didn't. Vienna Christian School is facing a big challenge and I would like to ask you to pray with us. Below is a letter from our director explaining the situation in more detail. We serve a powerful God, who is more than able to accomplish more than we can ask or imagine. We at VCS are confident that His purpose will be fulfilled throughout this situation. Thank you for your faithfulness in praying for us - it is truly the most powerful support you can give.

Your prayers are always important to us but we particularly need your earnest prayer with regard to our current situation.

Before the end of this school year - by June 2009 - our teachers need to gain a different residence status to be certified to continue teaching here in Vienna. Praise God for the time He has given us to work on this.

One way we are trying to accomplish this, is by working with the US Embassy to find a diplomatic solution. The second is by working with Austrian Government offices to find a status for which we can qualify. Please pray that God would work through these efforts to find a solution for us.

It is easy for us to focus solely on VCS finding a solution that will allow us to continue to operate here in Austria. Please don't forget to pray that we would have a great testimony through this process and that God will be glorified through the result of it.

Thank you for your support. We will keep you posted.
