Brad & Stacy Hunter
PCA / World Harvest Mission / Vienna, Austria
Brad and Stacey have been in Vienna since 2007 at New City Wien, a bilingual German-English reformed church in the heart of Vienna, Austria. Brad is the Lead Pastor with responsibilities for church leadership and teaching/preaching, coaching and consulting to church planters in Vienna and Graz, new church planting, chairing the International Christian School of Vienna building project and its director-search committee, and supporting a myriad of local ministries. Stacey exercises her gift of hospitality by opening their home for home groups, dinners, and other gatherings, as well as by welcoming people in the church, meeting with many people, and partnering with Brad by offering pre-marital counseling and spiritual care. Additionally, she assists young mothers in the Moms & Tots ministry, which she founded. Their children, Luke (24), Abigail (22), Levi (19), are pursuing degrees in Chattanooga, Los Angeles, and Rotterdam, respectively.
By God’s grace, their church has grown to some 180 attendees from 25 nationalities and is expected to grow to 275 next year. Attendance includes numerous asylum seekers from Asia, Ukraine, Iran, Afghanistan, and other countries of dishevel, human trafficking, and Christian persecution. In 2020, they purchased a building for office use, Bible studies, and outreach, and began renting the adjacent, larger building for Sunday worship. They seek to purchase that building soon, as God provides and make church facilities available for support of critical Vienna ministries.
Prayer needs:
- For Brad and Stacey as empty nesters.
- For their kids around the world.
- Brad’s continued health improvement and praise for his recent return to the pulpit for Easter.
- That God would continue to open hearts to the Gospel.
- For the launching of a ministry apprenticeship this year.
- For unity, growth, provision, and protection of their church.
- For the purchase of their worship space.
- For the church plants in Vienna & Graz and more church planters.
- For the International Christian School of Vienna building project and director search.
