It’s Sunday night and the end (unfortunately) of an absolutely awesome (and tiring) weekend. Wow! Friday we ended the second week of evangelistic meetings in Veszprem and presented the topic of baptism. We decided to use a decision card on this one. How could I present baptism and then not give people the opportunity to [...]

Well, it’s Friday evening. What a day today has been! I decided to go running with Szilard, the pastor of the Vesprem church. He said he goes running every day so I decided to join him. I discovered he is a good runner. We went about 8 kilometers from Veszprem to the next village which [...]

We have been in Hungary for 2 weeks. Oh, how the time flies! Before we left the U.S. I had been praying that God would help us make a connection with the people here. I knew language would be a big barrier to forming close relationships. It has been interesting how we have been trying [...]

It is the afternoon of Thursday Feb 24. We just returned from a short sightseeing trip to Lake Balaton. This is a vacation resort area during the summer here in this area of Hungary. It has many restuarants, hotels, etc. It was about -4 degree Celsius so we didn’t stay outside too long. Melaney and Emiley [...]

Today was a long day. I preached at the worship service in Veszprem and was blessed to see a few of the visitors from the meetings at church. I decided to make an altar and invite people to come forward if they would like to say, “Lord, thank you for accepting me and extending your [...]

It’s midnight on Friday evening Feb 18. I should be in bed–and I will be soon. We just finished the third night of the seminar in Veszprem. Tonight the attendance was over 80. I am told that Friday and Saturday nights are the best nights (probably because that’s when more members come). I think I [...]
