Nate and Bethany Johnson started a church plant in Vienna, Austria, in an area where there is currently no gospel-preaching church. There biggest need right now is to provide an air conditioner in their church, Crosslight Church. Their church building is filled with large, south-facing windows. While the natural light is beautiful—and helps warm the room in winter—it creates intense heat during the summer months. Even with fans and cross-breezes, their worship space becomes very uncomfortable.

Your giving will help install a much-needed air-conditioning system, making year-round ministry possible and welcoming for everyone.

Additionally, their church is at a strategic moment to train and invest in new ministry leaders. They desire to launch a European internship program beginning in 2026—creating hands-on opportunities in worship, preaching, small group leadership, outreach, and more.

Your generosity will help fund:

• Internship stipends

• Training opportunities

• Resources for discipleship

• A pathway to raise up future pastors and leaders in Europe

This investment will have long-term kingdom impact far beyond Vienna.

Once we reach our initial goal to help cover the costs of HVAC updates and a ministry intern at Crosslight Church in Austria, any additional funds will support the start-up costs of a new ministry center for Tabitha’s Heart in India.

Tabitha’s Heart has had a desire, and need to expand to an additional ministry center.

Funding from our CGP for the new ministry center will cover things like:

• Setup costs (deposit, furnishings, air conditioner, painting, sound system, etc.)

• Center Director/Teach 1 Year Salary

• 3 part-time teachers 1 year Salary

• 1 Year rent and electric

• 1 years snacks, cleaning supplies, office supplies, etc.

Simply put: God is moving and expanding His kingdom!

Their current center focuses on young children, with some other classes offered for women. A new center will help Tabitha’s Heart reach more youth and women to empower them to grow and start businesses of their own. This new center will focus on youth work and will offer classes like music, graphic design, and spoken English. It will also be the spot of a new women’s business training program.

We praise God for the generosity, and His provision! After we have covered costs for our base projects, additional funds will go towards the Business Classes that Tabitha’s Heart provides to women.

These classes help women learn valuable business skills and training. This helps women to create pathways out of extreme poverty, and empowers them to start their own businesses! $5,000 covers the classes and start-up business costs for 8 women.

Here are some prayer requests from the Johnsons and Tabitha’s Heart!

Nate and Bethany Johnson:

• For their church plant, that is gradually expanding from evangelism and small group ministry into Sunday morning services

• For their church planting team, that God would guide and direct them, unite them as a group

• For the Johnsons, as they seek to build relationships in their neighborhood and share the gospel with non-believing friends and neighbors

Tabitha’s Heart:

• Researching areas and plans for the new ministry building

• Finding a director to lead at the new building

• For the youth work and classes that will be offered in this new space, and the lives it will impact
