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?

How we got here....

Viktor and Kristen Rozsa were born and raised in two very different worlds, but God brought them uniquely together for His divine purposes and plan. Viktor is from Hungary and became a Christian under the Hungary English camp ministries of One Mission Society in 1996. God called him into full-time ministry shortly after, and he began working with OMS Hungary in 1999. God gave him a desire to pursue formal theological education, which ultimately led to studying in the United States, beginning in 2004. He received his bachelor of arts degree in youth ministry from Circleville Bible College in 2007.

Kristen was born and raised in Indiana and became a Christian as a teenager. God used mission trips in her youth to prepare her heart for His call on her life to become a full-time missionary. She continued to be involved with international missions while attending Indiana Wesleyan University, where she graduated with a bachelor of science degree in psychology, with a minor in addictions counseling, in 2004. Kristen worked at World Gospel Mission headquarters as their volunteer coordinator following her graduation in 2004 until she and Viktor married in 2007.

Viktor and Kristen moved to Kentucky a year after they were married for Viktor to continue his education at Asbury Theological Seminary. They were accepted as full-time missionaries to Hungary with OMS in February 2010 and look forward to reaching this goal soon. Viktor graduated with a master’s of divinity degree in May 2012 and is ready to return to Hungary to reach his own people for Christ. Both Viktor and Kristen have a burden for youth and young adults and look forward to preparing the next generation of Christian leaders in Europe through discipleship, preaching and teaching.

Viktor and Kristen have two young daughters, Emily and Gabriella.
