About Us

The Caldwells moved to Graz, Austria in July of 2004. They are currently serving there as church planters through the Baptist Bible Fellowship International. Their sending church is Central Baptist Church (CBC) in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Along with CBC they are also sponsored by numerous other churches, as well as a few generous individuals, located across the United States.

Danny and Krista met in 1997 while attending Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. They were married on August 6, 1999. In May of 2000, they left Springfield to serve as interns at Central Baptist Church in Sulphur Springs, Texas. They completed their internship in May of 2002 and spent the next two years raising the necessary financial support to live and minister in Austria.

Danny was raised just outside of Sulphur Springs, Texas in a rural community called Flora. God saved him when he was six years old. In the summer of 1995, at a Christian youth camp, he felt God's leading to go into vocational ministry. As a Bible college student he was burdened to plant churches cross-culturally.

Krista was raised in the Philippine Islands. Her parents, Terry and Jennae Wiese, ministered there for over 25 years. Hallmark Baptist church in Fort Worth, Texas is her home church. Krista placed her faith in Christ as a college student. Like Danny, she too was burdened to minister overseas as a college student.

Nathaniel was born May 20, 2004 in Fort Worth, Texas. For all but the first two months of his life, Austria has been his home. Nathan is a comedian and brings so much laughter and joy to our family. He started Kindergarten (pre-school) in January 2008. He has quickly made some close friends and is doing very well with the language. He likes playing with cars, building blocks and action figures. He also enjoys playing outside, wrestling with Daddy and Micah, and eating lots of fruit! He is a great big brother to Micah and Gracie and really looks out for them both. In September 2010 he will begin elementary school.

Micah was born October 12, 2006 in Graz, Austria. He is all boy. He began kindergarten in November 2009. Like Nathan, he too is making lots of friends and is quickly picking up German. His goal is to one day be able to play football like daddy. He likes playing with toy cars and clothes (folded or not) and wrestling with Daddy and Nate. He looks up to his big brother and wants to do everything that he does. He also cherishes his baby sister. Micah is a very passionate boy who loves being active!

Grace was born February 15, 2010 in Graz, Austria. She has been welcomed with open arms and already has the complete adoration of her two big brothers, as well as that of Mom and Dad! It is interesting how she is already making her mark in our household. In a home that has, up until the time of her arrival, been designed for little boys we are slowly seeing a shift. There are now bows and headbands lying around and pink outfits are showing up in the laundry. I have a feeling that this is only the beginning. In all honesty she brings a sort of balance to our home. We wouldn’t trade her for the world.

Danny and Krista pray that they will set a Godly example for Nathan, Micah and Grace to follow and that they will all come to know Christ in God’s timing. They have all already been so helpful in the ministry here and they don’t even know it yet.
