A Certain Woman in Eastern Europe

Last fall I had a french drain built around the old country house to redirect the water away from the walls. This year the walls were dried out enough (Thank you Lord!) that they could be renewed - for now the living room which was the worst was redone and the outside walls. Now it looks so nice! Before Living room before Outside with the refinishing started Back side of house almost done In the process of renewing New walls outside! Front, finished! Looks like new! New walls - right there behind the furniture!!

Agi and her crown of beauty I am really rejoicing in the afterglow of the fellowship of the ladies and of the Spirit in my recent 3 week Bible study called "Beauty for Ashes" based on Psa 61.  It is a study on the healing of emotions and I had 12 wonderful ladies attending.  We did 3 sessions this month and will do 4 more in November and will including healing from the spirit of rejection.  All the ladies are Hungarian and are precious to the Lord and to me!!  One night I gave as optional homework to create your crown of beauty. We got some great entries but only one photo. Thanks Agi. OK ladies, let's take a group photo! Well, done! Now meet, Lizi, Rita, Judit, Terri, Dori,  Rozsa, Andi and 3 Agi/Agne's, 2 Zsuzsa's and an MJ! It was also my joy to witness to one of these, prebelievers and pray for 2 to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Father for the good work that you have begun, that you will complete!! I look forward to seeing...

One of the previously, most consistently frustrating agencies to deal with in Hungary was the postal service. In Hungary, the postal service is an intricate part of your life. All bills need to be paid there, any official paperwork requires stamps bought there, picking up packages is one of the most frustrating things. That would usually require the special notice you found in your mail box, then going to a specific window, at a specific post office that may or may not be in your neighborhood. Then there is waiting in line for a loooooong time and then being told you were at the wrong window (& usually not in a nice way!)- head over to the longer line! Let us not even discuss - customer service! And of course various windows are closed for certain times of day. (Usually unadvertised times) Add to this, if you needed to buy stamps, to pay a bill and to pick up a package - that would require standing in 2 different lines, maybe 3.  On the plus side, you can pay...

We had a wonderful service last Sunday with new friends from Ohio, Pastor Wayne & Sherry Sanders.  Wayne and Sherry came highly recommended by my good friends and ministry partners, Hope & Life, Uzhghrod, Ukraine.  Sherry & Wayne have been traveling to the Ukraine twice a year since 2000 ministering often on marriage, family and relationships. They have an extraordinary testimony and are very down to earth and deeply care about people. They are in Ukraine this week doing a divorce recovery workshop and will be conducting a seminar for Hope & Life entitled "Is marriage relevant for today?" Many unchurched people are being invited and we are looking forward to fruitful results.  We really enjoyed them and have invited them to return in the spring.

My angel neighbors in the countryside have hit a real hardspot and I would  like to ask you to join us in prayer.  Sandor just turned 64 and recently had a seizure. In 1998 he had a sport injury to the back of his head, which has caused a brain bleed, stroke and now seizures.  All this time he has been working,with one increasingly weaker side, but is a delivery man using his own vehicle. Yesterday, his doctor told him his driving license will be revoked for one year because of the seizure. Of course, this is devastating news; economically, emotionally and mentally.  Eva is a strong believer in God and is trusting He will provide and bless this difficult time, but we sure would like your prayers, too. Sandor is growing in His faith so please pray He runs to God in this situation. Thank you! Sandor's 64th Birthday, with Eva Youngest daughter, Greta and her beau Middle daughter Andi and her man and "bump"

Mission Sunday at Abbott Loop Community Church (ALCC) in Anchorage, Alaska. Thanks to a wonderful, dedicated servant of the Lord, Maggie Snow, my field coordinator, I was well represented.  She had prayer cards, September newsletter and a sign up sheet for new people who may be interested in my work. Bless, you Maggie and all at ALCC.

A beautiful, historic building, a beautiful September day and a bride and groom much more beautiful than these photos. Congratulations Lena and Florent and their families.
