I've felt really crummy all day. I overdid it yesterday. I didn't do anything I shouldn't have, like lifting or anything; it's just that I had too long of a day, was out too long, etc. So today I've been extremely wiped out. My legs have not been good and my feet have been tingly and my feet have not had good sensation. So I really do need to be careful on how much I do and I need to understand that even if I'm feeling reasonably well there still are these limits on my health. (I have several spinal stenosis, have had a couple of spinal diskectomies and fusions, in the thoracic and cervical, in recent years). Plus I have several other conditions, like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. The will is there, but the body is weak. So today I'm paying for it... big time.
Back to the addresses. I've also been proofreading recipes for the family cookbook and sort of switching off between doing things, but I'm too tired right now to proofread recipes I think, so I'll do the addresses.

That's it for the addess for now. The other addresses have to do with either things like refugee work, individual contacts, that I decided not to share here, and addresses for things that might be logistally useful, such as embassies to get visas, and the like.
But the average person isn't going to have a list like this by any shot of the imagination, and wouldn't have had during the 1980s either, and I expect that if anyone in the Vienna mission had anything like this list it might have been maybe the director and his secretary. Otherwise, no one would have had this kind of knowledge and this kind of knowledge would have been strictly discouraged as part of the need to know secrety rule.
But what do you do with someone who comes with this kind of knowledge? I certainly didn't have any of the addresses or phone numbers memorized or anything, but I had a mental map of the general layout of what what going on in missions in Eastern Europe. It would be hard, you must admit, to take that away from me. So if they wanted someone to come to Vienna as a tabula rasa... well then, they should never have accepted me, because there is no way I could ever be that tabula rasa. I already knew too much before I came.

436. Addresses, Pt. 6
These posts are some of the easiest I've done, but I think they provide some telling information about who I was and how I came to be when I set foot on Austrian soil in 1987. I wasn't just an ill-prepared secretary; I was someone who had spent years doggedly preparing for missionary service specifically in Eastern Europe, what was then the Warsaw Pact.
And I was not interested in the Red scare. No, I had more methodically thought through the theoretical differences between Christianity and Communism, and had even tried to understand liberation theology. I've said all this before, but maybe these address are giving it a new credibility. I could start quoting parts of texts from the books I still have and maybe then you'd believe these other things too. But then it's hard to prove such things, especially so many years down the line, isn't it?

435. Addresses. Pt. 5
Can you see how someone who might come with the kind of preparation that might include a background that included the knowledge and opportunity to possess this contact list might not be satisfied with being a secretary in the mission? You can't just deny who I am and try to stuff me in a box! But that's exactly how I felt and then when they made it difficult for me to have a ministry in Austria I felt like they were trying to force me into being a secretary and denying that I had prepared at all for the ministry in Eastern Europe.

434. Addresses, Pt. 4
The thing is there is maybe a certain human rational for paranoia in ministry, but I have a problem with it in spiritual ministry. After all God does say that he has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and sound mind (I Tim. 1: 7).
Now I know we are to use our God given intelligence and not tempt God, but we also are not to use the tools of the enemy, the tools of the world to do our ministry and a good part of my premesis is that the missions do exactly that. So whereas their words, their teaching might be good, their actions might be attrocious and they could be quite perfect examples of "do as I say and not as I do." Sometimes, though, not even do as I say might be recommended when the Bible is the gold standard.
I can't speak for how they act now in the world of missions to Muslim countries and still a few straggler Communist countries and a few other closed countries of various sorts, but I have little faith that things have improved over when the focus was on the East Bloc.

I'm sure I'm actually just touching the tip of the iceberg and there were many other things going on than I knew about, but this gives you an idea. The things that are in-country addresses, such as denominational headquarters, you must understand would have been under some level cooperation with the government to exist, and that would have varied from country to country and even from denomination to denomination. Some denominations may have been more favored within a country than another.
So I didn't have addresses and phone numbers (or only a handful) of unregistered Christianity and believers in the East Bloc when I went to Vienna to join the mission. Still, I had done the research at a couple of the leading organizations, so I did have a good understanding, and I had read quite a bit and developed my own library on the subject as well. So even if I didn't have specific addresses I still had a good idea what we were up against, and when you add that to my experiences before going to Vienna to join the mission, then that just compounds the understanding all the more.
Now I know we are to use our God given intelligence and not tempt God, but we also are not to use the tools of the enemy, the tools of the world to do our ministry and a good part of my premesis is that the missions do exactly that.

433. Addresses, Pt. 3
I didn't originally intend to post these addresses, but I don't think it's such a bad idea after all. It was 30 or 40 of the general sort of larger missions that I wrote to before I went to Vienna. Half of them didn't respond and most of them that did respond basically asked me if I was a spy or infiltrating their ranks or something. Only a couple responded at all rationally and one of them was the mission I went to Vienna with.
These mission were paranoid, really. So that was the world we were working in and I guess that's what I entered when I arrived in Vienna. At least that's one part, I guess of what might have been going on when I was there.

I think that's enough for this time. Isn't it amazing how much ministry was going on? And so much of it was hush-hush, right? But all these things were going on and people were doing all their various things and it all added up to quite an amazing amount of ministry when you think about it. I still have a lot to go.

432. Addresses, Pt. 2
So the thing is that for me to have bothered to collect all these addresses could be understood many ways, I suppose, but among those, I think, are that it could mean that I was either dead serious in my preparations to become a missionary to Eastern Europe and understant that part of the world, or else I was intent on undermining the work there and using this information for disruptive purposes. I assure you the reason was the former.
I've already discussed a lot here about how I had a reasonable grip on missions to Eastern Europe - although not as good a grip as I thought to find what I did in the Vienna mission, but I didn't gain that knowledge and understanding as an insider. Well, some of it I did, but it wasn't enough because they didn't know how much I knew because I'd gained it on my own apart from the missions. This includes skills as well as knowledge, skills like being able to carry oneself in Eastern Europe.
I'm skipping some addresses.

The next one in the book is one I probably shouldn't have. I'm positive it came from my summer short term ministry trip to Vienna in 1982 on one of the trips I took into Eastern Europe. I shouldn't have kept that address. It's for a person and it says next to the person's address "lit deliveries." So I'm not going to put it here.

The next one in the book is one I probably shouldn't have. I'm positive it came from my summer short term ministry trip to Vienna in 1982 on one of the trips I took into Eastern Europe. I shouldn't have kept that address. It's for a person and it says next to the person's address "lit deliveries." So I'm not going to put it here.

431. Addresses, Pt. 1
I'm still working on the family cookbook. (I still have the problem password changes to do, but I'm goind to work on them as I can while I move on to focus on the cookbook.).
But one thing I wanted to do was to come up with more material for creating passwords, and what better material than forein addresses, names and organizations! So you just pick and choose bits and pieces of them and scramble them about and voila you have a new password.
But where was I to get such material? Aha! I just happened to have a little blue book from eons ago full of names and address of all kinds of things related to work in the East Bloc. It was this book that I used to come up with my list of missions to write to before choosing a mission, before I went to Vienna. So I thought I might share a few with you here. It really is quite eclectic, though. Also, there are some loose sheets that have additional addresses.

I think that's enought for now. If I see that there's interest in this I might continue posting some more. Most of this would be just of historic interest, I think, but there could be some that might still functional.
