Each one will be challenged to give Jesus Christ more room in his or her life through both giving and doing, a personal quiet time, participation in lectures and services, and thereby deepening their trust in Him. In this way your time at Tauernhof will be a very practical experience to equip you for life and should give you an enlarged view of world missions.
