Our primary mission focus in Austria is leadership training through the ministry of the Funks who are based in Salzburg; your gifts support this work.
Missionary Team: Richard and Hazel Funk
Partners: The Austrian Mennonite Free Church (MFO)
The Funks work in pastoral duties and lay leadership development in the Salzburg Mennonite Church. They are also involved in leadership development and mentoring within the Austrian Mennonite Conference.Austria shares a common border and language with Germany, but it has its own distinct customs and values. It is important for visitors to remember that Austrians are not Germans. Austrians view themselves as democratic, modern and liberal. They pride themselves in their many past cultural and scientific achievements. Religion is part of Austrian society, but for most the Bible is a closed and irrelevant book.
