What are we doing?

Hi There, Thanks for checking in with this blog....the first time writing is a bit uncertain. But we have lots of news to share and so will try to do it via blogging. Here we go......

We, the Mason family, have talked and prayed for months now about an adventure that God has put at our feet. We are planning on going to Vienna, Austria to work with a Christian School. Many of you know that Tom has always wanted to be a Bible teacher in a classroom. Many have said that he should be a teacher. Well, such an opportunity has come our way. Vienna Christian School has invited Tom and our family to come and be a part of their ministry to kids in Vienna. He will be a high school Bible teacher and will be an integral part of developing the Bible department. The students come from missionary families in Austria, from businessmen's families, and from the United Nations ambassador families. Huge open doors to share about our love for God and His Word with over 37 nationalities. I will be maintaining family life in a German speaking culture and will hopefully be able to remember some of my German from high school and college! We will look forward to hosting lots of parties in our home for students from the school and their families. Sarah, Laura, and Andy are really game for this adventure. They are amazing. I love their willingness to tackle this mission. They believe God is totally in this. Their faith in Him is well-placed. I know we will be tried and challenged. We would love to have you praying with us. More on that soon.

This is quite a huge transition for us as you can imagine. But that is part of the Austrian adventure which we will be sharing with you along the way. Tune in for updates as they happen. There is lots to do by August 1, 2009
