 In 1959, the Neufeld family returned to Canada because their son Gareth had become ill. They returned to Europe in 1960, working in [[Switzerland]] and [[Germany]]. Following several years in Winnipeg, they moved to Vienna, Austria, in 1969, beginning a new ministry with university students, which soon grew to include over a hundred people meeting in the Neufelds’ apartment.
 As the group grew, the congregation decided to lease space from a local bakery. From 1969 to 1983, Abe and Irene Neufeld worked to establish a church which later became known as 8. Tulpengasse or “Tuga.” Bible studies, leadership training, and congregational empowerment were central to the work at the Tulpengasse church. Soon, other congregations grew from the ministry, meeting in various parts of Vienna.
