Life in the City

It’s October already.  That’s so great!  Fall in the city has been different, but there are so many new and wonderful things to discover. 
            The summer came and went with its challenges and delights of interacting with conference guests and preparing to move to Budapest.  I was able to lead the Summer of Service girl’s bible study every Sunday night.  We spent every week talking about what the bible says concerning anxiety and what are the things about God that we can rest in.  I was so blessed to spend that time talking and praying with them.  It was emotionally exhausting, but when you’re in the business of fighting for souls there are many things that will totally drain you.  Yet, is there anything in this world that is more worth giving our all for?

            We successfully moved at the end of August with the help of great friends.  Thankfully, the missionary life has given me plenty of opportunities to overcome my complete distaste for packing.  The semester was off to a fast start in the beginning of September.  Jared was quite busy with adjusting the church technology to accommodate such a large influx of students, setting up the bible college office, getting to know how things are done in Budapest, and getting to know the new students.  My activities are still developing, but right now they consist of helping to host missionary leadership class, helping in the nursery on Sundays, Hungarian lessons twice a week, getting to know the city, gospel choir practice on Tuesday nights, hosting the students at our apartment, and learning how to run a household under the leadership of my husband as we submit to one another and ultimately to God.

            We have also had the opportunity to visit Vajta on a few occasions and help with some of the bigger conferences.  A few weekends ago we were able to lead a team of staff and students from Budapest to help with a high school conference.  Jared travels back more frequently than I as he is still overseeing their IT needs.

            10-day outreaches are coming up and the students will leave on Friday.  We have teams going to Finland, Romania, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia, and the middle-east.  Jared and I will be staying in Budapest this time helping a group of students with the ministries here while most of the students are gone.  Please be in prayer during this time of October 27th-November 5th.
            On a small side note, last week Luke and his good friend Daryl gave a home concert at a friend’s house.  I was glad to be able to attend.
I do love taking photos with the band.  Go Luke!
            As I look over our prayer requests from my last post God’s faithfulness has continued in all of these things, and we thank you all for your prayers and continued involvement in what God is doing here in Hungary.  The school move went as smoothly as it could have.  The staff, interns, and students worked very diligently to get it done.  Our move went well, and we even found a close parking spot for the moving van.  We still need more support to stay here and would appreciate your continued prayers in this, but He is sustaining us.  The students are adjusting.  Some are having difficulty just as we as staff have difficult days of learning to live in Budapest.  Some days it’s just hard, and that’s ok.  The unity among the team here has been such a blessing.  Please be praying that we would continue to depend on God for everything.
            We are so thankful for you all.  If you would like to contact us or support us, all our information is at the end of this post.
