Hi, we have finally decided to join the many others who Blog rather than send out E-mail updates. So here we are. While there is a hardcopy letter being sent, within the next week, with a new prayer card, we wanted to catch you up here as well.
Tim has begun working at the office and is enjoying his new work. He has already been on the road a lot, meeting with schools and churches. We find ourselves in exciting times at Greater Europe Mission. You may, or may not be aware that we have had a new president (Henry Deneen), since last year. He has come in with fresh vigor and is focusing our mission on new work ahead of us in Europe. We will continue ministering to Europeans at every level of evangelism, church planting and education. In addition we are planning on sending 100 new missionaries to Europe within the next two years. These missionaries will be engaged with immigrant Muslims throughout Europe. We hope to reach the ever growing Muslim population in Europe, with the gospel. Currently there are about 2.1 million Muslims in Germany, every 5th person in Vienna is a Muslim and if the rate of growth continues in England, the Island will become almost completely Muslim within the next 10 years. Our initial targets for this new initiative are France, Spain, Morocco, Germany and Turkey.
Please pray for us as a Mission in these new initiatives as put the immigrants of Europe firmly in our sights. Please also pray for Tim in his new duties as he visits churches, schools and individuals, seeking to be an ambassador of the Lord in linking individuals with the opportunity to serve in Europe.
We are finishing up this weekend preparing 6 more young people for ministry in Sweden.
Please pray for them as they head out over the next 6-8 months.
Please continue to pray for our family as we settle in to our new home and life here in Colorado. Please also pray that our container will arrive soon so we can enjoy sitting and sleeping on furniture again. J
We look forward to keeping you better informed through our Blog from here on out. Please let us know if you have any problems accessing the Blog.
For His Kingdom to the Europeans

Oooh!!! Nice new blog! And I'm so excited to get the new picture of your family! Love you guys!
I had no idea that the face of Austria has changed so much--you mean not just converts to muslim, but actual "Ausslaender" /foreigners with darker skin, walking & driving the streets of Wien/Vienna!
And even more so in England!
