The real challenge – a self-supporting institution in the heart of secular Europe – this school in a great facility in the middle of nature is suited to equip young Christians with all the necessary skills to enter Europe and the world.
It all started 4 years ago. David Gates challenged the participants of the first ASI convention in Austria to risk everything for God. As a result a small group decided to start a medical missionary school. They started a prayer chain, determined to follow the counsel to start simple, small and soon. Then the search began for the right place for an outpost center in nature.
At the same time, also as a result of the ASI challenge and prayer, a youth hostel was purchased in a small city in Germany to serve as a church, school and missionary training center. This Austrian school started with 5 students from Austria, Switzerland and Germany in Isny, Germany. In the second year God providentially led the school to join forces with German church leadership. The church took over the training program with a goal to make it permanent. Finally in the third year, the persistent medical missionary team found and purchased an amazing property in Austria in the middle of nature, with a building ready to be used as a sanitarium. With a sanitarium they can start producing income, and there is enough farm land to be self-supporting. Additionally, God has already brought 17 highly motivated and positive students who are ready to multiply the work.
Current News
The training programs are continuing with great results.
Future Plans
The next step in the project will be to establish a lifestyle center in order to provide a real outpost and offer God’s healing program in Central Europe.
