A Heart for Steyr

  • Herrle's Family Farm 1231 Erbs Road Saint Agatha, ON, N0B 2L0 Canada (map)

Join us for “A Heart for Steyr,” an evening filled with soulful jazz music by Pastiche Jazz, delicious food, and meaningful community connection.

This special night is designed for you to meet and learn more about Short-Term Mission team heading to Austria to serve with WMB Associate Missionary, Sarah Reed this fall! You’ll get to meet the team, hear what they’re up to, and join us in praying for their trip and the people they’ll be serving in Steyr.

There will also be a chance to support the mission trip with donations, but mostly it’s a time for community, enjoy some music, and be part of what God is doing through our church.

We can’t wait to see you there!


Team Purpose:

We are a team of 9 WMBers who have been invited to enter into Sarah Reed’s community in Steyr, Austria for 10 days, October 3-13. 

The goal of this first team being sent from WMB Church is to break new ground in our relationship with the Austrian church (Freikirche am Schlosspark). We will begin the work on a relational “bridge” between KW and Steyr, work which we believe starts with prayer: to seek the Lord to know what He’s doing, so that we can join in His work. We imagine as we build relationships across this “bridge”, not only will we sense what the Lord is doing in Steyr, but also in our own hearts, community, and the broader Kingdom of God. 

Each of us on the team has sensed a call to mature in the spiritual discipline of prayer, and we’re already seeing growth as we’ve done a 4-week study on prayer together and have been praying over the work that’s to come.

Call to Action:

We believe the work of bridge-building extends beyond just our team… we need the whole church involved. We ask that you consider how you might support the work of our team.
