220 kids from 30 nations walk through these doors daily...the doors to Vienna Christian School. These doors have become normal to us now that we've worked and lived here for almost 2 years, and it's easy to walk in and out and forget about WHY we do it (especially now that we have a baby demanding our attention). We do it so kids from all over the world who happen to be in Vienna for a short while can have the chance to hear about following Jesus and get a quality education. That's why we're here. Our roles are different now than they were two years ago, though, so I want to update you on the latest scoop for the Franks in Vienna.
1. We have decided to stay in Vienna 2 more years.
2. Chris will remain in his position as the Business Manager, and will begin to take business classes at a local university here in Vienna.
3. I will not be teaching 4th grade, but will be taking care of Cole and staying involved at VCS in some capacity yet to be determined. I have the freedom to be as involved as I'd like, and I would really like to continue to be a part of the lives of the elementary kids.
It's strange now to think that we both came here as teachers and now neither of us teach. We are thankful, though, for the place to which God has brought us, and we do love living in Vienna. The kids at our school could one day influence their countries in powerful ways, and imagine if they could do that with the strength that comes from a personal relationship with Jesus. We get to be a part of that daily, now just in different roles than before. Thanks for allowing us that privilege.
