CCBCE Fall 2018 is here!!

Well here we are back in Hungary after ten weeks in the States.  Can you believe that’s the longest Jared has been in the States since he moved here twelve years ago?  That brings with it its own set of challenges, but he made it through fine.

            So, first of all some answered prayer requests.  I have not been able to find a job here as of yet so the answer is no for now, but I will continue looking for opportunities.

            Our summer in California was very productive.  As my normal unit at the hospital did not need any extra hands, I was given the opportunity to work in the Emergency Department.  It was a little unfamiliar and uncomfortable at first, but after a few weeks I felt better, and by the end I was really enjoying it.  I was able to refresh some skills, and meet lots of new and wonderful people in the process.  There was no shortage in hours available, so I was able to work quite a bit to offset some medical bills and travel expenses.  Jared was even able to help out some friends with fixing up their house.

            About a month in I was able to travel to Maryland for my brother’s wedding, Jared’s parents came to visit a few weeks later, and the last week before we returned we were able to spend time in the mountains with most of my family.  It has been a long time since so many of us were together, and it was quite memorable.

            Now, back into the swing of ministry here in Budapest.  The semester is fast approaching.  Student arrivals begin in just five days!!  We have some new additions to the office and teaching staff.  I’m looking forward to getting to know them all.  School starts September third for the bible college and also for me.  I will be taking a four-week language course.  I’m really excited and hopeful for continued progress in my learning.  It will be three hours a day, five days a week, with homework of course.

            Jared is jumping right into semester preparation with updating the Moodle (our online program for all of our classes), and getting staff up to date with how to do everything they need to in regards to their own specific courses.  I’m beginning to prepare my calendar filled with Language school, being a TA for our missionary leadership course, prayer times, and discipleship with the girls.  We will also be continuing with our coffee time and nerd herd gatherings with the students at our apartment.

            I was encouraged by this verse in my reading the other day.

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Romans 11:29

            The beginning of chapter ten talks about Israel’s rejection of God not being complete, nor final, and then this verse is slapped on the end.  The chapter then continues to explain that just as God has shown the Romans that through their disobedience they were shown mercy just as the Israelites were.  It reminds me of this verse in Luke.

“Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

Luke 7:47

            It was just a good reminder to follow Christ in the gifts and calling He has given us.  Also in the context of being forgiving as we have been forgiven much and experienced mercy through our disobedience.  I pray that this would be my heart with the students this semester.  Thank you so much to all of you for your prayers and support.
