Happy Maria R., a 2nd Gen Missionary, won first prize at the Vienna International Singing Competition 2023. Please refer to https://www.culturemeetingpoint.com/competitions/classical-singing. Her response to worldwide Congratulations is as follows: "Thank you. I will praise God alone like Mary! (Luke 1:38). I want to live according to my key verse of 2023 from Hebrew 11:6: "And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Therefore, I want to live daily with the faith that the Lord exists and rewards those who earnestly seek him. Thank you for your love and prayer for me."
