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 Request (only one!):
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
- Please pray that all three of us Coppages understand and know the love of
God, which goes beyond knowledge. Pray that we are filled with the fullness
of life and power that comes from God. Pray that God makes us into the
people that he wants us to be.
My favorite place in Vác, the chocolate café or "csokizó"
closed their doors forever this past weekend.
My heart is sad, but it's time to move on....
The hot chocolate was thick—
more like melted chocolate than anything.
Five of my students were there on Friday:
Fanny, Zita, Tina, Vivi, and Dóri
The daughters of our very first friends in Hungary were
2 and 4 years old when we met them in 1992.
Now those girls are 20 and 22, their little sister is 15,
and their little brother is 3! Here's Dani with his mom Zita.
Usually Virginia weather is the opposite of Hungary's,
but this past weekend, both places had snowstorms.
The difference is that nothing stops here when it snows.
Here's our apartment house.
