Bound for Hungary

February 23, 2005

Hungary

Fol­low­ing God can be a crazy adven­ture. Within a week’s time, God had com­pletely chal­lenged our plans for our sum­mer. All of the sud­den, we were con­sid­er­ing an oppor­tu­nity to go to Hun­gary for the sum­mer. The project, Speak­out 2005, is an out­reach to Hun­gar­i­ans through a con­ver­sa­tional Eng­lish camp. Amer­i­can high school and col­lege stu­dents will be going to Hun­gary to share their faith as they inter­act with Hun­gar­ian campers.

We are excited because we were a part of this project 9 years ago. We also spent a year in East­ern Hun­gary help­ing to launch a cam­pus min­istry in Debre­cen. This will be my fifth trip to Hun­gary. I spent my first sum­mer there 15 years ago in 1990 after the col­lapse of com­mu­nism in East­ern Europe.

Hun­gary con­tin­ues to be on our hearts. We just did not expect that we would be going back this sum­mer. We have enjoyed see­ing Hun­gary on the show, “The Amaz­ing Race.” We look for­ward to going back and get­ting to spend the sum­mer with many friends, both Amer­i­can and Hun­gar­ian. I have been reminded afresh that God does give us the desires of our heart. And I know that it is Him who planted that desire in my heart over 15 years ago.
