Greece trip on the horizon; 9/24/09 to 9/28/09


A door has been opened to visit Greece next weekend. We'll be going via bus through Serbia and once in Greece, we'll visit Thessalonica and the ruins of Phillipi. I'll be staying at a camp site on this trip to save a few duckets; should be some field trip as this was the apostle Paul's stomping ground!

Fall 09, Vajta Hungary



Hello there! The summer has past and we are in week two of the semester at CCBCE (www.cbce.com). During the summer i managed our dishroom during conference season; we washed approximately 40,000 plates, cups, eating utinsels during our conference season.
A new intern has taken over the dish room and i'm overseeing 7 other ministries; Book Reports, Morning Devotionals/Announcements, Guys Dorm, Servanthood (Assigning/overseeing campus job detail), Off Campus Student Correspondence, Weekend Dishroom/Dinning Room/Conference Overseer. Things have been pretty non-stop!

Former student and friend Jake Stockill from Bradford England just paid us a delightful visit.

I'm excited to be sharing a bunk with my good buddy Nagy, Isti from Budapest; ie- holding the napkin. New students: to my left is Kálmán (Romania), Arpi in the back, and Piros on the right (both from Hungary).

Upcoming events:
- Planning on leading a team to Moldova (between Ukraine/Romania) for our 10-day outreach (Oct 23 - Nov 1); that is, if students sign-up and doors continue to open. Pray for the pastors out there (Steven and Teresa), the community, and for a potential team to follow me out there. Sounds like a cool work and potentially an adventurous trip.
