A Certain Woman in Eastern Europe

A very special day when long-time friend Borbala got married. To add to the event it was a mini reunion for the guests.  God is so good to bring Borbala and Misi together...in His time and in His way. Keep believing for all those promises, even those spoken many years ago!! And the very handsome and happy couple Dr Gwana Elle, me, and his lovely wife Hajni and  Carol Borbala and her sister, Kata

After meeting the Skarbek family in Krakow in January, I was invited to Tarnow, where they have a church to share my testimony at an Aglow meeting.  Just before I arrived they asked if I would minister to the youth on Friday night and the church on Sunday! What a blessing for those doors to open wide and God was so good to fill my mouth and bless our services!!! Here is their write up of the youth meeting in Polish and in English: Jesteśmy właśnie po spotkaniu z Mary Jill Callery! Był to niesamowity czas, zostaliśmy potężnie zachęceni i nabraliśmy nowych sił do działania! Oby więcej takich spotkań! Kochamy cię Mary! Kluczowy werset tego spotkania to 1Tym 4:12 "Niechaj nikt nie lekceważy twego młodego wieku, lecz wzorem bądź dla wiernych w mowie, w obejściu, w miłości, w wierze, w czystości."/ We are after the youth meeting  with Mary Jill Callery! It was an amazing time, we got encouraged and are ready for new things! We want more meetings like that! By the way, w...

April was a big change of pace for me as I was invited to return to Alaska for a month to baby-sit an 8 month old little bundle of cheeky, boy joy!!! Of course, God had some other assignments for me but this one was so sweet, so precious, so restoring and I really enjoyed having a loooong time in Alaska!! Also, got to visit different churches, meet and pray with friends, and had time to encourage and share at a chapel in a retirement center. They invited me to minister monthly, too. :-).

I have been attending a wonderful church plant lead by Daniel and Marta Hirsch and in the spring of this year we adjusted our focus to being a bi-lingual church. We are hoping to move to midtown but in the mean time, I am incredibly blessed to be hosting the church in my ministry center (formerly called the "potato room").  We were also blessed to be able to use a friend's church to have a water baptism service. Raphael getting water baptized  Simon about to be baptized Pastor Daniel and his son Simon Getting ready for the church!!! We've found we can have close to 30 people if we use the steps. Still looking for a place downtown but meanwhile I am personally so blessed to be able to use this space for a church plant!!! God is so good and I am living in my dreams and even more so!!!

God used our Thursday morning prayer group to not only encourage but to outfit and send our Zsuzsa and 2 others to New York city to represent Hungary at the UN!!! The 3 Zsuzsa's  Our group's effort - God prophetically spoke that this new platform for Zsuzsa would require new clothes and we all wanted to help! And a new haircut!!! The 3 Zsuzsa's meeting with the Hungarian Ambassador to the United Nations

The day after the personal prophesy from Dr Sharon Stone, which said that I was to be a voice for the voiceless and would be an influence at a governmental level, I was invited to a political gathering called: CitizenGo by my friend, Zsuzsa, co-founder of Shout for Life Pregnancy Center.  Seemed amazing that the invitation came a day later. Due to bad weather and sickness, we were unable to go to that meeting BUT 4 days later another call came in from Zsuzsa. ( What is CitizenGO? CitizenGO is community of active citizens who work together, using online petitions and action alerts as a resource, to defend and promote   life, family, and liberty . We work to ensure that those in power respect   human dignity and individuals’ rights .  ) And Hungary is very unusual in Europe and in the EU because in 2012, our Hungarian constitution was amended to add the following: 1. Hungary is a Christian nation. 2. Human life is to be protected from conception to natural death. ...

After all the guests left after new year, the regular schedule began. I am extremely blessed to be part of 2 prayer groups that meet at my house. One is a Tuesday evening dinner/prayer group. After which the younger crowd heads out for a bible study in a pub! We have had some wonderful results of that ministry. The girls also, go out on a Thursday evening and do the same.  Thursday mornings, my friend and prayer partner, Kati leads a group here. This is the highlight of some weeks!! The ladies that come have influence in different sphere, towns and people groups here in Hungary. It is both a refreshing and strategic prayer group. Many lives have been impacted by what is happening here.  From this group a sharing of resources both spiritually and physically has been a huge blessing. The first Monday of January, and for the following 8 weeks, I lead a post-abortion Bible study for the Shout for Life Pregnancy Center here in Budapest.  It is always an amazing time as lives...
