From the Church to the People - Taking the Gospel to Austrians

Type:
Short term
Location:
Villach and Dornbirn, Austria

Duration:
1-3 months

An Austrian is no longer automatically a Roman Catholic, that time has passed. Church membership and attendance is being replaced by a hedonistic lifestyle based on wealth and personal achievement. As society becomes more liberal, sex, alcohol and different forms of 'new spirituality' become more prevalent, leaving a moral void. Young people, especially, are seriously searching for meaning and fulfillment in their lives.

In Villach, we’re taking the gospel from the church into the streets. We want to meet people where they are. We’re doing this through a Teabus, where people come and share a hot drink enjoy a warm environment and talk about real things.

We also do that through reaching out to kids and youth and through making personal evangelism central to our lives.  

Ministry experience

If you come from June to September, you’ll be able to get involved in lots of different opportunities, such as:

Thanks for your interest!

Due to the current pandemic, at the moment many of our ministries have limited capacity to host Short termers. That being said, we’re keen to help you think through short term mission options in Europe for when the situation changes.
So tell us a little bit about you and we'll contact you soon to chat about missions in Europe.

Our mobilising offices assist people in making applications and prepare to serve in Europe. Beyond Europe we have offices in Brazil, the United States and Australia who can assist local people in the process. Unfortunately we cannot accept applications from countries where we do not have an office. Individuals are encouraged to find an organisation working in their area that sends missionaries to Europe, with whom we might partner.
This doesn't have to be long, but provide enough detail to help us understand the process you've gone through to bring you to this point.
