On My Way to Chicago / Útban Chicago felé

After serving for 4 weeks in the world's BEST camp at WOL Hungary (I know, I'm not biased at all :)), I'm on my way to the States to visit some of my supporters and share about God's wonderful deeds! The Lord graciously allowed me to spend a few days at my brother's house in Walsall, England. It's been a very refreshing time both physically and spiritually. On Sunday morning God reminded me on His promises through the life of Joshua and I was encouraged to look forward to the miracles He is about to do. 

• Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. (1:9)
•  Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” (3:5)
• For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God. (4:23-24)

Can't wait to see how God is going to repeat some of His miracles and bring glory to His name!!! 


Négy hét szolgálat után a világ LEGJOBB táborában a WOL Élet Szavánál (tudom, kicsit sem vagyok elfogult :)), útban vagyok az Egyesült Államokba, hogy meglátogassam néhány támogatómat és beszámoljak Isten csodás tetteiről! Az Úr kegyelméből pár napot öcséméknél tölthettem Angliában, Walsallban. Nagyon felüdítő volt úgy fizikailag, mint lelkileg. Vasárnap reggel Isten Józsué életén keresztül emlékeztetett ígéreteire, és bátorított, hogy várakozásteljesen nézzek csodái elé.

• Megparancsoltam neked, hogy légy erős és bátor. Ne félj, és ne rettegj, mert veled van Istened, az Úr, mindenütt, amerre csak jársz. (1:9)
• Józsué ezt mondta a népnek: "Szenteljétek meg magatokat, mert holnap csodákat tesz köztetek az Úr." (3:5)
• Mert Istenetek, az Úr kiszárította a Jordán vizét előttetek, amíg átkeltetek. Így cselekedett Istenetek, az Úr a Vörös-tengerrel is, kiszárította előttünk, amíg átkeltünk rajta, hogy megismerje a föld minden népe az Úr kezét, hogy milyen erős az, és hogy féljétek Isteneteket, az Urat mindenkor. (4:23-24)

Várom, hogy miként fogja Isten megismételni csodás tetteit és dicsőséget szerezni az Ő nevének!!!

I'm Back :)

Wow, it's been a long time I posted here. If you remember, I started this blog to keep my family and friends informed about "my adventures" in the USA. Last time I was in the States I went to attend my last course at Faith Bible Seminary, a Counseling Lab. I learned sooo much, it was a wonderful, life-changing experience. Some pics about my time in Lafayette, IN and about the short visit I had in Ohio/Kentucky after that.

My First American Wedding

I was so thankful that God allowed me to spend a weekend with my "American family" in Ohio before I came back to Hungary. I joined them for my first wedding in the States, which was a very different experience. :) Everything was so beautiful! God surprized me with a couple of friends who were also there on the wedding! I praise the Lord for the Price family, for their love and care! 

Beautiful winter in Beavercreek, OH

Biblical Counseling Training Conference

I am so thankful that the Lord allowed me to be there for the BCTC in Lafayette, IN. Ever since I started taking counseling classes attending this conference has been a dream of mine. I appreciated a lot the wonderful speakers and the many lessons God taught me this week! I could share so much, but let me just focus on one message, how to make much of God in your counseling (by Pastor Brad Bigney).

The #1 thing in our lives should be to glorify God. The glory of God is the character and beauty of God GONE PUBLIC. So to glorify God is to spread His FAME (doxa, Greek word for glory in the NT) and to cause people to realize the WEIGHT  (kabod, the Hebrew word for glory in the OT) and IMPORTANCE of who God is and what He does. His glory was most clearly and most fully revealed to us on the CROSS. Oh, how I wish that I could always be the sweet aroma of Christ (2 Cor 2:14), making God's name great!

It was also a blessing to see many friends I know through Word of Life or my Biblical Counseling classes, and to make new friends. :) Thank you, Father, for this special gift from YOU!

Sharing About WOL Hungary

The Lord gave me several opportunities to share about our ministry this past week. I am so thankful for the many wonderful brothers and sisters I met, they were a huge encouragement and blessing. I enjoyed the church presentations, visiting an Awana club, the dessert fellowships and Sunday School meetings, and the many personal conversations about what God is doing in Hungary. I praise God for Yana, that though she serves in Poland now, we made a great team representing Word of Life Europe. :)

Pictures about Hungarian Food in Awana - YES, you can actually live without peanut butter! :-))

Forgiving Without Limits

Oh, how thankful I am for this past week! It was so good to be back in school, I loved the counseling classes and I learned so much! (Actually we'll find out after the test how much I remember... :-)) One of our topics was forgiveness. Hurts are real, but when we fail to forgive we forget the huge debt God forgave us. God wiped our records clean. Don't count offenses, forgive without limits. (Freedom from Resentment, by Robert D. Jones)

Right now I'm in Michigan visiting our former Dean of Students and his wife - Marion and Candy Hall. Yana, our former Assistant and Lea, one of our graduates are here as well. What a lovely reunion! So happy!
