Our 1st Home Assignment…Questions Asked Us


Hooray!! It's building up!!  Thank you to all who are helping to increase our funding so we can stay on the field!! 

Question:  "How are you supported? Does a 'mission' finance you or what?"  
  Answer: We are supported primarily by monthly support - most of what is given by individuals, like you.  A few churches elect to support us monthly as well, usually through their missions committees, but the majority of the funding for us is through individuals. Gone are the days when an organization would just self-support people, since many people currently don't want to just support a fund, they want to know the people who are receiving the money.

Question:  "Can anyone support you?"  
   Answer:  YES!!  You can do so today - just click on one of the 'give' highlighted areas to the right on this blog and it can be set up in less than 5 minutes:)

Question: "Are you planning on going back to Hungary?"
    Answer: YES!! We are spending an awful lot of effort to learn this language and the hearts of the people through immersing ourselves in the culture. God is still calling us there.

Question:  "Do the Hungarians feel like you are making an impact?"
   Answer: YES! Many were telling us as we said good bye …"PLEASE tell the Americans we want you back! You are needed here! Please come back!!

Question: Why Hungary?  Why not someplace that has such obvious physical needs as well? (Africa, Haiti, India, Mexico, ETC?)
   Answer: God is reaching out to a lost world. Some cultures lack the message/hope of salvation as well as food, water, and healthcare. Others appear only to be lacking the Good News of salvation through "Christ Alone". Jesus calls all believers, you and I, to spend ourselves on behalf of the expanding Kingdom of God. God is just as concerned about a well dressed/fed person going to hell as He is a person who has enjoyed nothing good in their entire lifetime. LESS THAN 2% of Europe are evangelical Christians!  Hungary is right there with them. All of Europe is back to being considered an Unreached People Group(s)! God directed us to have a heart for the Hungarians, so there we are.

Question: "How do you find places to speak?"
   Answer:  YOU! Most places have no interest in having someone just come and speak unless they have a personal recommendation from someone they KNOW. That is where you come in - they know you! So, if you think it would be a great idea for us to come speak to your group/church/service organization, ask them! We can make time, but often we can't make the connection that you can. You can be our best resource!

There are many more questions we are asked, so we will give those and our answers in another blog later. Meanwhile, feel free to contact us with any of your questions!
