DIENSTE
MALI
Two years after making Jesus her Lord and Savior, God showed Claudia that MALI was the country He was sending her to. Four years later, in 1999, she went to Mali for the first time to do linguistic research as a guest helper with Wycliff Bible Translators and stayed for 5 months. During that time, the Lord broke her heart for the people of Mali (again) and steered her away from linguistics. When she sat on that plane to leave her country of calling, she was very serious with the Lord and told him she'd only come back to Mali to stay if she was NOT going to be a burned out missionary and if He would equip her to do what Jesus did - heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper, cast out demons, preach the good news (see Matthew 10:8). Little did she know that that meant four more years of preparation, but it was worth it as the Lord answered her prayer.
In September of 2003 Claudia boarded a plane to Mali with nothing but a big vision and a big God. She had no support and only a few intercessors. She had found a little Muslim High School in the capital Bamako to teach German at, which she did for two years. Two months after her arrival, one of her neighbors found the Lord and became her first leader. In November of 2004 she started a church (Centre Apostolique Malien) and a Bible School. The Lord then told her to do two things: At Christmas that same year she did the first party for street children where many children showed up, were fed, heard the gospel and prayed to know Jesus. And at New Year's Eve Claudia did a healing meeting. Street children and healing have become the heart of the ministry in Mali.

There are thousands of street children that are on their own, looking for food and money. Every night, our gates open for them to have a safe place to sleep, receive food and find out about Jesus.
Claudia & Randy have seen countless miracles, as they do what Jesus did and obey Matthew 10:8. The lame walk, the deaf hear, demons flee, and the near-dead are restored to health. Read the stories in our newsletter that you can sign up for on the bottom.
In 2004 Claudia started the first church in Bamako. In 2006 she started going out into the villages and planting more churches. God has now given Claudia & Randy a new strategy to start small churches that multiply themselves.
In 2007 the government gave the ministry three quarters of an acre on the south-eastern edge of the capital, and construction started. In 2008 Claudia and her Malian family moved into the first unfinished building.
REISEDIENST
During the years the Lord was preparing Claudia for ministry, He showed her over and over again that she was called to the nations. Going to Bible School in the US, being a national of Austria, and moving to Mali, she was already involved in three countries/continents. Claudia especially has a heart and calling to the French-speaking nations of the world. While she's hoping to plant more churches and beach heads in French-speaking West Africa, she also has a passion for the Western church. Her heart is burning to see the Western church wake up and rise up, and to see every believer walk in the fullness of what God has for him/her. As she travels and ministers, she brings hope, encouragement and healing to God's people, as she is living proof that God can use ANYONE to do ANYTHING.

Claudia is a native of Austria, and though she left for the US in 2001 and then went on to Mali in 2003, the Lord promised her He would still use her in the country of her origins that she loved so much. Claudia and Randy have preached and ministered all over Austria, and are always looking for new places to go. Claudia can preach in German.
The Lord put France on Claudia's heart a long time ago, and her love for this country even deepened when the French liberated Mali in 2013 and a French soldier gave his life the first day. The Lord has repeatedly spoken about Claudia's call to the French-speaking world, and she has been preaching and ministering in France, Switzerland and Quebec. Claudia can preach in French.
Having gone to Bible School in the US, joined an American network, and incorporated the ministry there, Claudia has always been traveling and ministering in the US, from the East coast to the West coast and in between. She has always appreciated the spiritual atmosphere in the US, and loves to bring down heaven to earth in the churches where she ministers. Both Claudia and Randy can preach in English.
