Soon...

  Wow - nearly a month from now we will be hearing Hungarian 24/7!  We are looking forward to learning this most difficult language so we can understand the people's thoughts as well as their hearts.

  How will they relate to us? Will  they want to? Will we be just "those rude Americans - just like in the movies", or will they think we are "those dumb Americans - just like in the movies"?

  Our goal is to be "those Americans - they aren't like what we have heard of or seen before! "  How? Well, we want to get to know Hungarians as people, as neighbors, as mothers, fathers, people with joys and sorrows. Maybe they have had a bad day at work, or a really great day at the market. Maybe they have decided that there cannot be a God, since they have never known a nice gesture that didn't have a price tag of some kind attached to it, or that God doesn't have time for them, so they don't want time for God.  Maybe they have never even heard of God.

  Well, soon we will find out. Soon we will be able to share our discoveries with you. As always, we covet your prayers and support.

  Merry CHRISTmas - though we have to confess, we haven't thought much about Christmas in the western sense of the word - our nation has been blessed with SO much.

  We are celebrating the simplicity of Christmas - Jesus, our Savior was born to this fallen world.  Come! See! The joy of knowing Him and loving Him, accepting Him in your heart. Jesus doesn't demand that we clean up our life before we come to him.  He knows we are incapable of doing that. He asks that we confess our wrong doing and trust in His ability to form us into the likeness of His only son Jesus.  The cost is high, but the reward is far greater. Ask Him. The King of Kings is waiting for you to do so. He is right there, loving you as you are. Just ask and be free.
