Campus Crusade for Christ's Eastern European and Russian staff conference.

Flags from the countries represented at our conference.

We just returned from an incredible week! It was Campus Crusade's staff conference for Eastern Europe and Russia. This conference happens only once every three years and was held just a couple hours’ drive from Budapest. It was a week of great Bible teaching, worship, celebration, fellowship and rejoicing over what God is doing in our part of the world. 1200 laborers from 13 time zones representing many languages and many cultures. I wish you could have been there!

The most valuable resource we have is our staff. I would like to introduce you to some of the loved, valued, national missionaries that I get to work with. Perhaps you will meet them directly someday.

This is the team of Romanians serving in the city of Timisoara, Romania. I am in the yellow sweater in the middle.

Toshe, who is a Hugh Grant look alike and an accomplished concert pianist, is from Macedonia and this is his teammate Tomo.

On the right is my boss and his wife, Larry and Debbie Thompson, the director of Eastern Europe and Russia. Next to them is Larry’s boss, Steve and Judy Douglas, Campus Crusade president.

Eugene from Moldova (on the left) talks with Ionel, one of our Romanian staff who is serving in Serbia.

Robert Kowalski (on the right) with whom I work closely, is the Polish director of development, and his wife Beata, talking with a friend.

This is Erol Ilijazović, country director of Serbia, and his wife Tanja.

For the teenagers, there was a special week just for them about a 20 minute drive away. It was put on by Campus Crusade’s MK2MK (MK = missionary kid) ministry, which is, in my opinion, one of the best things Campus Crusade does. In this photo our Savannah (far right) waits with her friends to board the bus to take them to their MK2MK week.

Thank you for standing with us in our ministry! Thank you for the love, prayers, encouragement and support you not only give our family but many of our laborers from this part of the world. May we all rest and rejoice in our AWESOME SAVIOR!
