Dear Special Friends and Partners,
2023! WOW!. We are expecting great things this year not only in the nations of Eastern Europe where we serve but in America and around the world. We are thrilled we get to be a part of what God is doing these days.
It was 41 years ago this month that we started our lives as foreign missionaries, moving to Central America, where we lived for almost six years. So many places and countries and moves since then and now for the last 26 years here in Budapest, Hungary.
One of our favorite scriptures is found in Proverbs which says “Man makes his plans, but God guides our steps.” I am sure you could look back at your life the same way we do and see how God was guiding you to the place you are today.
This this year 2023, we are looking to see at least another SEVEN churches started in this part of the world. We work with so many of the key pastor friends in these countries over here from Poland to the north to Albania and Bulgaria to the south and all the countries in between. We still invest abotu $4000 in each of these new churches to help them get started.
In the last 22 years we have seen now over 300 of these new churches started. It is amazingly exciting to see so many peoples lives changed.
So thank you for standing with us as we expect great things in 2023.
Jim and Brenda
