In 2004, four families from the Oklahoma City area committed to establishing a strong, vibrant church in Vienna, Austria. The members of our team include: Jake and Amanda Haskew, Josh and Kim Hensal, Ira and Kari Lockwood, and Brian and Alisha Rusher. All are currently members of the Memorial Road Church of Christ in Edmond, Oklahoma. The members of the Vienna Team attended Oklahoma Christian University and were involved in a variety of missions and evangelistic efforts.

The Vienna Team has actively prepared for the challenges of the Austrian mission field with the guidance of Missions Resource Network (MRN)—an organization devoted towards the development of strong mission teams—and through consultation with many current and former missionaries. The Vienna Team has also benefited from the encouragment, advice and support of their church family at the Memorial Road church.

Their planned departure date is in the late spring of 2007.
