The "Expected" Journey

We set out on a long journey in September. With God on one side and many praying for us on the other side, our fundraising ministry began. It took us to many places in the USA. Let me bring you all up to date on that.

God is in the process of assembling an awesome ministry team to help us go to Hungary. We have people who have prayed for us and given much financially for years to get to this point. In the meantime, God has brought additional brothers and sisters in Christ who share in the vision for ministry in Hungary in order to expend the Kingdom of God. We are rejoicing over the many milestones accomplished over the past months.

Major milestones:

We have 85% of our onetime cash-needs met as of end of March 2013.
We are at 30% of our monthly needs to be able to stay and minister in Hungary for 4 years.
We have a tentative plan (God willing and 100% monthly giving needs met) to be in Hungary by 2014 February.

Will you pray with us for the country of Hungary! They need to hear about the hope that can be found in a personal relationship with Jesus. There is a lot of work to be done in the Kingdom of God as we need to spread the gospel message and train leaders today.

Please help us share with people about Hungary. If you know a small group, Sunday school, or a church that is interested in Central-Eastern Europe, please let us know. We would like to come and share how God has been working in that part of the world and also tell you where we sense God is leading us as we join an ongoing work of 20 years of ministry in Budapest Hungary.
We need more people to join our team with monthly giving so that we can serve in Hungary for our first missionary term. If you know anyone, would you help connect us with them?
