"As a 19 year old Greek young man, I was dreaming about riches, fame and money. So one day, I packed my things and left for a journey. Little did I know that God would direct my steps to come to Vienna, Austria where I heard the gospel for the first time and accepted Christ in my life. After going through three years of bible school, (Bible Institute of Vienna) it was soon evident to me that to be a Christian is more than accepting Christ in your life as it also became obvious in my own personal walk. Not wanting to waste my life and by the providence of God, I came to read a book entitled “Don't Waste Your Life” by John Piper. This is where I came to know for the first time the doctrines of grace and reformed theology. Learning more about the reformed faith made me feel like I was “reborn again” and wanting to serve God with all my heart and all my life. Today, I serve as a bivocational church planter together with my wife Kathrin, and our two daughters Marina & Anastasia (also our labrador dog “Romy”) in our beautiful city, Vienna. With the support of AIT in our ministry, we have Sunday services where I preach and teach God’s Word and also Wednesday’s bible studies where I have the privilege to disciple and teach a group of people. By the grace of God, many have come to know a new life in Christ. Grace Life Vienna is dedicated and striving daily by Gods Grace and for His glory, to be a true church who will proclaim the excellencies of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light."

April 2025 Update

Dear AIT family,

We thank and praise the Lord for the unity and the fellowship the sainst are experiencing at Grace Life Vienna. The Lord has been good to us in the midst of some dificulties caused by two individuals who sadly but firmly had to be removed.

The Lord has been growing us through this and also drawing closer the fellowship of the church together. One of the greatest blessing now is to see the saints hungry for the Word of God.

We thank and praise the Lord for the salvation of Steffi the wife of our brother Markus and his father in law. Pastor Barry King was visiting us and preached a fiery evangelistic sermon on 1 Tim.1:15  "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners..." Steffi and also her father Josef profesed Christ that Sunday, what a great joy this was for all of us! Please join us as we continue to pray for Steffi's growth and Josef's deeper understanding of the Gospel. 

Please continue to pray for Katherina's salvation, (she is very close), pray the Holy Spirit will iluminate her soul with the glorious Gospel.

Please pray for our street evangelism we have every second Friday and Saturday, pray we will be faithful to do the work, and Christ our Lord will build his church. 

Please pray specially for our soon coming Special Easter Service, we have in print 5000 invitations, pray the Lord will send those who are invited with readiness to seek the resurrected ONE.

Thank you very much for your support and prayers, may the Lord bless you richly!

For Christ's glory, 

Steve Missios
