How excellent it is that God gives Jan the privilege to share His Hope with students from around the world. These are some of her students that she tutors twice weekly at our kids' school: Vienna Christian School, an American international Christian school based in Vienna. Please pray for Jan as she works with these students. Pray for their salvation. Pray for the school administration as it seeks to solve a long running search for visas for the faculty/staff that are not able to receive Austrian residence visas.

Hyperbole Maximus


You probably missed this important fact about the Obama victory that at least one Austrian news magazine has helpfully printed for us: "HOPE FOR THE WORLD: the 'New Kennedy's' and how Barack Obama's Victory will make the World a Better Place!" Excuse me, but that Hope has already been to this planet and He has already done everything necessary to make this world a better place. Yes, the secularized, post-religious world of Euroamerica might believe Mr. Obama is our hope and answer. After all he will undo or "Kill" as another publication here put it, all of the absurd and backwards restrictions upon normal life that President Bush dared to impose upon American society simply to please naieve, backwards, and biggoted religious voters who really are clueless when it comes to the modern (or post-modern) world and the views of said world. How thankful we are that Jesus, Messiah, the Saviour, came to this planet and endured the snide and hurtful comments of the religous and political leaders of His day; He endured the beyond belief torment and torture; and He gave His life as the ultimate sacrifice to become the only point of Hope and Light for this world. How awesome it is that our hope and future is not in a President, a Prime Minister, journalists, a King or Queen, or the other multitudes of gods and goddesses our world has built and worships. When you pray for Mr. and Mrs. Obama, pray too and again for Europe. This is truly a continent and peoples without Hope.
