After the English camp and some time with Grain Game folks here doing more camps, we headed off for a conference in beautiful, sunny (hot!) Greece. It was a wonderful but activity-packed time of praise and worship in English, great Bible teaching, training and updates from our leadership, and connecting and networking with co-workers from many countries.
Shortly after we returned home, I (Carolyn), along with teammate Kimberly Hathcock and other missionary women from Hungary, had the pleasure of taking part in a women's retreat in Budapest. It was a great experience for me, full of belly laughs and tears, music, great Bible study, fun crafts and activities--and lots of time to chat with other ladies who love the Lord. Thank you to Kim K. and all the team from Austin for the love and care that you shared with us through the retreat. May God bless you as you have blessed us!
Today is the day we've been looking forward to ever since the Hathcock family became a part of the Eastern Hungary Team! Moving day is upon them, and they are busy transplanting their family from Budapest, where they have been studying Hungarian, to their new home here in Debrecen. After they get settled in, Kimberly will begin home schooling the girls, and Darrel will lead his family to begin their student outreach to young people in Debrecen and the surrounding area. (Visit the Hathcock family's blog.)
Please pray:
- that the move and transition to life in Debrecen will go smoothly
- for the transition back to home schooling for the girls, and for Kimberly as she teaches them
- for the family's continued language studies
- for great new relationships - both for needed friendships and for the opportunity to share Christ's love
- guidance and focus for how to proceed as they move into this stage of ministry
- that hearts will be prepared to hear the Gospel witness that will go out through the family.
- for us to form a close, unified team, and for wisdom for Gary as our leader
