Pécs
Just before heading west to visit the USA once more, I had the chance to travel to Pécs. Pécs is located along the southern border of Hungary and is one of the older cities. You can still see ruins of a church that was built around the 3rd century.
Over 3 days I had the chance to speak in English classes and to host an outreach event. We had more than 15 students come out to join us for an awesome night! Once more I saw tremendous potential and many, many open doors. As in every city I visit, the most often asked question was, “When are you coming back?” Join me in praying for this special city and that God will give us wisdom for how to more effectively reach out to the countryside this upcoming academic year!
May and June Trips
In case you haven’t heard, I will be back on US soil during the months of May and June. I would really love the opportunity to sit down and catch up with you!! I am very curious to hear about your past to years and want to know what God has been doing in and through you! I also want to have the chance to simply visit and deepen our friendship!
Could you help me with this? I want to be effective with my time and yours, but I don’t know your schedule. Could you take a second, look ahead, and send me some potential dates to get together with you? I really want to make this happen!!
I will be in Alabama: May 4th through 28th
I will be in Missouri: May 28th through June 12th
And I will have a day to kill in Atlanta on June 15th (from about 9am until 7pm).
Please shoot me an e-mail, give me a call, or leave me a comment! I can’t wait to visit with you!!
April Prayer Letter
Yes, it has finally appeared on the internet!! You can now catch up on what happened this past month! Take a second, give it a read, and pass the link on to someone you know!!
A Glimpse Into Recent Events
As you may know, this past Sunday Hungary had its elections. While I am not terribly political (even in America), in light of recent events within the Hungarian government, I was quite interested in the results. The jury (at this point) is still out on whether the current government retook a 2/3 majority or if they will be one seat short, but it appears that very little has changed politically (although that one seat might prove to be very critical). I certainly am far from an expert when it comes to Hungarian politics…only recently did I come to understand that there are some 18 political parties here. But, I have found a few interesting news articles published in the New York Times and the Washington Post. Of course, they are certainly being told from a slant…the truth is the unbiased writing is impossible to achieve. However, from what I understand these articles are about as close to accurate as one would hope they could be. If you have a few minutes, I think it will give you a better insight into Hungary and might help you understand the challenges both politically and spiritually for the future.
A Few Tidbits
If you haven’t yet seen it, I have added a new section on quotes I have found encouraging 🙂 Check it out! I hope to add to it as I get the chance to work through different books. Hopefully you will find that as encouraging and helpful as I have…and it will give me a way to remember these influential things I am reading 🙂
Also, we are running super short on Americans this year for SpeakOut 😦 We really need more help! If we don’t get more, we are going to need to close registrations early and not allow the camp to be 100% full. We really don’t want to see that happen (especially since we are already over 1/3 full!). If you know of someone who would be willing to pray through coming, please let me know!!

Will Things Please Slow Down!!
I am sure you feel this way also! I now understand why missionaries do not consider home trips to be vacation or restful…mine was neither. But it was awesome to catch up with everyone! I absolutely loved spending some time with my family and getting to meet my new niece! I also enjoyed seeing so many people at the 3 missions conferences I was at! My only regret was having to settle for hundreds of 5 minute chats…how do you fit 2 years into 5 minutes? Thankfully I will be able to engage in longer chats in May!
Things ramped back up the minute I stepped off the plane! I jumped into a full week of classroom presentations, followed by this week in which we are hosting a group of students from Houston. We have 15 school visits over 4 days with 18 students and adult making up the mission trip team. It has been a lot of growth for us and for them…many spiritual challenges…and watching God do some amazing things already! Pray for us!
And please pray about joining us! Please check out how you can do that on the tab above which bears a similar title! We need help in the fall and this summer! Will you be the one God sends?
