Jo Reggelt!

Jo Reggelt! (Good morning in Hungarian)

This morning was one of those mornings when the sky is blue as can be, breakfast was outside, and the air was filled with talk of Christ's love spoken in as many languages as you could count. Just another normal day at the Forum! Dan and Sarah had their first full night of good rest, Michelle and I were able to explore the town a little late last night, and Nancy is so busy and talkative I have yet to see her except in passing... but from what I can see, she is loving this opportunity. This forum is a very unique experience because it is a rare situation where you are able to serve those around you and see the results of that work in the faces and lives of those around you. Therefore, we have been blessed beyond words! Yesterday, I met Mate, the pastor of the Evangelical Church in Budapest who's scholarship was provided by our church. He is a wonderful man, working tirelessly for Christ who, when interviewed yesterday, did not stop expressing his thanks to us and to our church for providing this opportunity for him! The interviews, a process every scholarship applicant must go through, has been the most powerful thing I have yet to experience. Sitting across the table from someone who's heart is sold out to Christ no matter the circumstances, while listening to the story of his life is an amazing amazing thing! The participants continue to thank us, but we must also thank them for the work they do and the passion so obviously written on their faces. This is just one of the many ways this forum has affected us on a highly personal level. Thank you for your support of our team as well as the members attending the forum. You cannot fully understand how much you have changed their lives through your generosity. Love from Hungary, God Bless
