summary
Our family lived and served in Budapest from 2002 to 2004, and we have lived in Vác since October 2005. We teach English to partially support ourselves. Otherwise we work among both Deaf and hearing Hungarians in order to show the love of God, share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and establish indigenous, reproducing Bible studies and churches that are led by God's Spirit instead of by human rules or traditions.

Serving in Vác among the Deaf and the hearing
This Week's Prayer Requests:
Wednesday, March 3, 2010
- Karen did well on her German exam last Friday. Her prospects for entering
high school look good. Thanks for your prayers for her!
- We are starting the long, burdensome, expensive process of renewing our
residency permits, which expire on May 10. Please pray that everything goes
smoothly and that all officials will be in a good mood.
- The Christian Educators Outreach missions conference starts here in Vác on
March 19. Please pray for our preparations, for everyone's health, and for
our spirits to be open to what God wants to do.
Last Week's Pictures:
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Last week four of my kids ran out of the classroom
right before class was supposed to start. A few minutes
later, they came in looking like this:
Matyi, Évi, Barbi, and Peti had dressed up for their
German class Carnaval (pre-Lent) party, and they gave
me the honor of seeing them like this, too.
When I do a unit on hobbies, the kids use play-dough
to "enhance" their oral quizzes on their favorite pastimes.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures:
Barbi is a photographer.
Dóri draws comics.
Lurkó likes rowing, but you can read that.
pray
Nothing of eternal value happens without prayer. We deeply appreciate your prayers for us (see current requests in the center column), and, as Paul does, we encourage you to pray continually... not only for us!
give
We encourage you to give generously to worthy causes that you care about... and not just money!
go
Whether down the hall, across the street, or to a far country, you can follow where God calls.
