A Divine Pause

Image
In the midst of a very busy season, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a missionary gathering. 230 missionaries from 27 countries gathered for a time of pampering, fellowship and relaxing at an event called Budapest GetAway. This event designed for rest and renewal is the vision of Mr Paul Cowell. His organization is called Christian Hospitality Network and this year he organized 5 GetAways in various parts of the world. His heart is to see missionaries refreshed and honored and blessed and blessed and blessed some more. All we had to do was apply for the program, show up and we were treated to 3 nights, 4 days at a 4 star hotel on Margitsziget Island in Budapest. We were treated to buffet breakfast and dinner, a beautiful room, full use of the spa, pools, mineral baths, sauna, steam room and exercise rooms and a massage of your choice all at cost to the missionary. There were also optional times of devotions, worship, evening meetings, a health seminar, a doctor's appo

Hillsong Australia in Debrecen, HU

Image
In a "risky" move the youth pastor at the Reformed Church, Debrecen  invited the Austrailian worshippers "Hillsong" to minister in Debrecen. What a wonderful time we had in that historic church!! Debrecen is considered by many to be the "spiritual" center of Hungary and in an unusual show of unity, pastor's from the "new" (not traditional) churches also helped in coordinating the event.  Traditional, historic, new, Spirit-filled and evangelical churches were represented at the seminar and at the main worship event.  We believe that as we ushered in the Presence of God together in Unity, God would again pour out a Spirit of revival in this great land!! Indeed, many responded to a call of salvation.  God is Alive and on the move!!

Amaro Del report

Image
This report just in from the mission organization Eastern European Outreach. I have been on the Board of Directors of this mission  for many years and have been able with your help, to be both an encouragement and a supporter of numerous projects.  Helping these particular friends is close to my heart.  Please enjoy this great report of their ministry for 2011.  THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS Amaro Del had a truly busy year: they gave a lot of concerts (twenty-nine in total!), draw huge audiences and gained lots of great experiences. Which ones were the most memorable moments for them? Which event made the biggest impact on them? These are some questions we discussed with some of the band members. The best description for Amaro Del’s 2011 is ‘busy’. They’ve been to numerous places, within and outside of Hungary. It’s not an easy task to choose the best moments from the season, from the many experiences and performances held in many different denominations up to the  This Is The

John writes "Mediatations" for his website and has compiled some for a book he just published. After being here in the spring he was inspired to write this about "Certain Women" Meditations by John Dean: July 2011

Certain Women & John Dean

Because of a divine appointment in Romania this spring, I had the honor of meeting a man of God called John Dean. John was looking for people connected to/in Budapest and our meeting was certainly not by chance.  God has shown John what an important city Budapest is in the Spirit. You can read his report on Budapest in his  spring newsletter .  John returned  this month for ten days and I had the privilege of introducing him to some friends and also to our church.  We believe this to be a strengthening, ongoing relationship orchestrated by the Spirit of God to prepare for a great revival in Hungary, Europe and beyond. His encouraging Word and experience of being "translated" to streets in Budapest and God revealing the "portal" city Budapest is has been received like fresh, sweet water to the parched and nearly fallen.  Be not weary in well doing... for in due season!!!! Please join us all in prayer and fresh hope for Budapest, it's 7 nations that surround and

Recent trip to Romania - Widow's Mite

Image
Missionary friends of mine in Romania started a program a number of years ago called " The Widow's Mite".  Every month they deliver groceries including canned meat, eggs, oil, fruits and vegetables, cleaning supplies and candy to needy widows in and around Arad, Romania. The program also supplies wood for burning in their stoves.  This year the need is becoming greater and greater. Today, the program is run by veteran missionary Jackie Ramsey. She and her small team work very hard for at least 4-6 days a month just to prepare and deliver for this ministry. Because of your support of me, I was able to go to Romania in October (when Jackie was away) and help with the packing, sorting and distribution. We were also able to leave some extra money to help one widow pay some utility bills.  If you would like to sponsor a widow, the groceries alone cost about $35 a month. Let me know if you can help one time for Christmas or monthly and I can send you details of how to do that.

Shoes along the Danube

Image
My first visit to a memorial on the banks of the Danube. Called "Shoes along the Danube" it commemorates the WWII atrocities of 1944-1945 and honors the Jewish men, women and children who were lined up, told to remove their shoes and then were shot by a brigade of Facsist  Arrow Cross militiamen and thrown into the Danube River. The shoes were valued as of more worth than their lives.  God, help us to value what you value and help us to always choose life!!

Meet my Texan friend, Paulette Carson.  We just spent a week together in Romania. She has a wonderful ministry to train women to lead Beth Moore Bible studies. She also raises the financing to translate the materials, comes in does a conference and blesses the local ladies with leader guides and 10-15 studies all at no expense to the local Romanian ladies. You can click  here  to read and here all about the ministry. Paulette and I originally met in Arad, Romania when she ministered at one of our ladies's meetings.  She has since opened the door to me to Moldova. We were supposed to be there in October but it has been postponed for now. Instead, we traveled to Timisoara and Arad to see friends, meet her publisher and relocate her materials to a new facility. We had a wonderful time together and we look forward to the time the Lord say's Moldova is good to go. Paulette and her Romanian publisher with a copy of Bethe Moore's "Jesus, the One and Only"
