Last year Matt and I really struggled in finding a church that fed us spiritually. Although there are 5 or 6 protestant churches here, none of them were meeting our spiritual needs, and many of them took over an hour to get to from our apartment.
This summer was so refreshing to us, to be able to visit so many churches and be fed by their worship and teaching. We were dreading coming back to Vienna and the lack of spiritual food we found here.
However, God is faithful and answers prayers, and always provides for our needs. We have found a church home for the year, and we are so excited about it!
We are meeting with other teachers as part of a home church. We all take turns doing different things for the service-worship, message, prayer time, communion. We end the service by continuing our fellowship over brunch.
The first Sunday we attended we knew this is where we could be fed spiritually and decided to make it our church home. This past Sunday Matt provided the message. Good friends of ours provided an amazing worship experience as he played the guitar and his wife beautifully played the viola. I was so moved by our worship experience, the words we sang, the feeling in the apartment, God touching my heart, and the beauty of the music, I couldn't help but have tears in my eyes throughout the experience.
We have already been encouraged in our faith at this church, and are looking forward to how God will use it in the future.
