Our Calling
God has placed on our family's hearts the calling to become full-time missionaries to Hungary and Slovakia. On the first short-term trip there, God gave us a love for the children. On our second trip, the Lord revealed that His will for us was to serve Him there. The Lord has given our family faith to apply Philippians 1:6, "Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
(NIV)
After World War II (WWII), both Hungary and Slovakia were communist and controlled by the Soviet Union - therefore forbidden to worship God. Both became democracies just over a decade ago, and Hungary has flourished. However, Slovakia has been slower to warm to the Gospel - hence, the need to minister to both places.
Esztergom, in northern Hungary, is a very beautiful, old city. The bridge connecting Esztergom with Sturovo, Slovakia was blown up in WWII. It was rebuilt four years ago, opening the opportunity to minister to both countries with the Gospel. The Lord continues to impress upon our hearts, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field" Matthew 9:37b-38 (NIV).
Our mission is to minister to the children and their parents in Slovakia, sharing the Good News of the Gospel. Having been rooted in youth and children's ministry, our hearts' desire deepened our longing to work with the kids in these communities. We are excited to share that we will be the facilitators of Kids Club in Sturovo, Slovakia. This club was established as a result of our first mission trip. We will be providing daily devotions and instructing sports activities. The kids in this area need a safe, fun environment in which they can learn about the Gospel. We will also assist the leadership of Calvary Chapel Esztergom, Hungary, in home Bible studies and women's ministry.
As we step out in faith and place our trust and hope in the Lord, we place our lives in His hands on this journey.
