"Bringing in the Hungarian Harvest Project" 2007

Praise God! Wow! The activities of our Budapest campus ministry during September, including BHHP week, has generated over 1300 evangelistic contacts (students who expressed a desire to talk with someone about knowing Christ personally)!

On the first day of the project we set aside time to seek God’s face together and pray for our week of outreach.

My good friend Brent Harrison, of Experiencing Missions Intl (www.experiencemissionsintl.org) is essentially an honorary member of our staff here in Budapest. He is probably the loudest cheerleader for Campus Crusade's work among Hungarian students. He led the charge when the project spoke in classrooms. Here he is posing with some of the Hungarian students with whom he interacted. Any doubt as to which one is Brent?

Mara, one of our favorite Hungarian staff, married Gabi. Their wedding was during the project week and many of the BHHPers attended the wedding. Gabi is joining his new bride as a member of our Hungarian staff team! After a brief honeymoon to Turkey they will be helping with the follow-up of the evangelistic contacts.

Here is the Evangelical Lutheran church where they were married.

On several occasions we had the visiting American missionaries over to our house for fellowship and a good meal. Here is Scott and Rick from North Metro church in Atlanta hangin’ out with the old man.


EB and I celebrated with the visiting Americans and Hungarian Campus Crusade staff what God did during BHHP week with a dinner at Hemmingway’s restaurant here in Budapest.


Our three teenagers are in full swing with their fall activities. Ben is playing soccer, Savannah (middle) in the school play and Liz is playing volleyball.

Quentin and Rebekah fishin' for something sweet! EB is homeschooling both of them this year.
