Austria Internship
Vision
Raising up nationals and internationals to renew Vienna spiritually, socially, and culturally through a Gospel-centered church-planting movement.
Overview of our Ministry in Vienna
The Vienna Internship contributes to the larger vision of the WHM ministry. Our purpose is to testify by word and deed to the Gospel of God's grace to young Austrians and internationals in and through Vienna.
We do this by seeking to build a community that is founded on the gospel and then inviting people to become part of that community. We seek to reach people through incarnational evangelism, through community groups, and through outreach events.
Vienna is a global city with a population of 2.2 million, with 31% internationals.
