Blogging from Budapest
March 19, 2007
I have to say that I really love Web 2.0. This morning I have been enjoying the benefits of being able to check my email through an Outlook browser interface, read through my RSS subscriptions with Google Reader and bookmarking several sites using my del.icio.us account. Here I am on a friend’s computer in Budapest, […]
Hungary is on my mind
September 22, 2006
I took this picture last March while visiting Budapest, Hungary . It is a memorial to the 1956 revolution against the Soviets in Hungary.

Back to Hungary in March?
December 9, 2005
It looks like I will be going back to Hungary in March. I have been praying about an opportunity since I was there over the summer. I had expected to go on a “vision” trip that I had done six years ago. But God has something else in mind. An opportunity has come forward to […]

Bound for Hungary
February 23, 2005
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 […]
