summary
Our family lived and served in Budapest from 2002 to 2004, and we have lived in Vác since October 2005. We teach English to partially support ourselves. Otherwise we work among both Deaf and hearing Hungarians in order to show the love of God, share the gospel of Jesus Christ, and establish indigenous, reproducing Bible studies and churches that are led by God's Spirit instead of by human rules or traditions.

Serving in Vác among the Deaf and the hearing
This Week's Prayer Requests:
Wednesday, September 1, 2010
- Today was the first day of school. As we begin this year, please pray for
good relationships with students and teachers, and that we will be
instruments in God's hands.
- Now that we have permission to develop a baseball field, I have been
appointed head groundskeeper. Jarrod, the head coach, told me that he
doesn't want to have just a good-enough field; he wants to "wow" the city
with the results. Please pray that we will have the time, manpower,
resources, and money to have a really nice little-league ballpark ready for
the kids by the spring of 2012.
- Our Váci church held the first worship service
in the new building this
past Sunday, and Sára, the pastor's wife,
had surgey yesterday. Please
continue to pray for her and her family as they deal with many changes and
difficulties simultaneously.
Three big events this past week:
#1: Orientation camp for Karen

Nothing of eternal value happens without prayer. We deeply appreciate your prayers for us (see current requests in the center column), and, as Paul does, we encourage you to pray continually... not only for us!

We encourage you to give generously to worthy causes that you care about... and not just money!
