Ordination

Exciting times here in Budapest. I was recently ordained into the AIM Apostolic Network by one of their leaders, John Dean. John and I met last year by divine appointment and I felt strongly to formalize what God had done by joining this network.  John has a special call to Budapest and the 7 surrounding nations and we are all very excited in what the Lord has been saying in regards to the importance of Budapest in the coming revival and awakening of Europe. John will not only be my covering but also agreed to be covering for fellow missionary, Jim Person. While John was in Budapest this month, we gathered at our church, The International Church of Budapest, for the festivities. Missionary friends came in from Romania and Ukraine and fellow pastors from Budapest but the most exciting guest for me was my son Michael. Michael came in for a week and after Sunday's service we went to Ukraine on a mission trip.  What a joy it was to travel and minister with my son! The Sunday of our ordination service was also Mother's Day in Hungary (a week before the US holiday) so I was blessed he was here for that, too.  We enjoyed having 70 people at church for the service and we then enjoyed a wonderful lunch together. It was a very special day.  I feel strengthened and know I received an impartation that will help with all the assignments God has given me, especially in leading the church.

July 2019 Update One of the high points of summer is always our 8 day long church camp.

The turning of a page....

Don't you just love opening a brand new beautiful and colorful notebook, grabbing your favorite pen and deciding what to write on that clean, white page? Or do you hesitate, wondering what if you mess the page up, or your ink runs out or you misspell something or you spill coffee on it???  Sometimes that first word, on the first page is the hardest.  BUT go for it!!! Jump right in! It's a brand new day, a brand new month and time's a wasting!!! I woke up this morning after a great night's sleep, ( which is somewhat rare) Remembered a dream I had (sometimes happens)...in which I Spoke a sentence in Polish and it seemed correct (and short :-) (an absolute first!) I realized then it was August first and I could turn the page on my calendar!! and in that small act of turning a page, I sensed a shift, a much bigger SHIFT. Suddenly, anything was possible, everything was possible!!! Everything was new,  new mercies, new grace, new favor, a new start, new creative ideas

What life is like in Poland!!

I am overwhelmed with the hospitality, the helpfulness and the love of the Polish people! I believe most Polish people have these characteristics but I know I am right now smack in the middle of God's "Uncommon Treasure's" and right in the middle of a refreshing move of the Spirit. The River of God is rising all around the world and He does not want anyone to miss it!!! I have rented an apartment in the downtown area, close to the church and as most of you will not be surprised to hear...it has become a "HUB" of activities!!! On my first Sunday speaking of the new time and the new things God wanted to do, He gave this scripture: Isa 65.8 Thus says the Lord: "As the new wine is found in the cluster,  and they say, 'Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,'" ESV  We began then to add more "clusters", gathering people and being aware of who wasn't yet joined int he cluster.  I began holding ladies meetings every Friday
