Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,
It’s hard for us to believe that
our move back to California
happens in less than a month! Our house here is starting to look empty as we
pack up bins and luggage to take with us as to California on May 27th. There’s a saying in Hungarian that
“one eye is crying and the other eye is laughing,” and that sums
up exactly how we feel. Our hearts are breaking over leaving dear friends and
a treasured ministry, and yet we are also thrilled to take this step of faith
and to see how God’s going to use our family in Orange County
(or anywhere else He leads us!). We
want to thank all of you for your continued support and prayers during this
transition time, and we’ll be sure to send out at least one more
newsletter from California to let you know how the move and resettling
went. There is so much to say about our three years in Hungary, but I think we’ll have to do
that in person once we get to California!
We love you and treasure your
prayers!! We sure do need them!!!
Love,
Jason and Angie
Final Wrap Up…
Did outreach week already happened? Can it be that the
college’s graduation is on Tuesday, May 13th? The
women’s Monday night Bible study that Angie attends and helps with had its
final study this past Monday.
Soon, Jason will be giving the final exams for his classes, and Angie
will be starting the library’s inventory of materials before she closes
it down for the summer. This
semester has flown by more quickly than any other semester here. We have
stayed BUSY, and yet every single moment is filled with God’s grace and
peace. How many people get to say that they’re having a blast while
being missionaries? After school ends, we’ll still have much to do
before we leave—training new leaders in the areas we oversee (outreaches,
AVFL, coffee shop, and library), packing up our little home, and saying
goodbye to friends. Please pray for good health, lots of energy, and a
special pouring out of God’s Spirit and mercy on us during this entire
transition back to California.
Thanks!
Prayer & Praise
·
Praise God for Jason’s safe travels
these past few months to England
and Israel.
·
Please pray for good health for our family
and all those that live here on campus. We’ve had the usual colds and flu, but Angie seems to keep
getting every version of the flu that comes through campus, especially when
we need to travel!! Please pray that ALL of us will be well during our
move!!! Also, a student has chicken pox on campus and many others have been
exposed to the virus. Pray for protection from the virus for our children and
for the college students that haven’t had the chicken pox yet.
·
Pray for the time before our move
home on May 27th. Please pray for us to have wisdom and patience as we take huge
steps of faith and move our family back to Fountain Valley, California
on May 27th. Pray that we
continue to stay fully focused on our
ministry here in Hungary during that time…that our children, Elea (4 yrs) and Ty (1 yr) would not be confused
or upset as we pack things up this month…that all the hard goodbyes would also be filled with the
sweetness of God’s love, knowing that we’ll see each other
again in heaven, if not before.
·
Pray for our travels on May 27th
as we fly from Budapest to Los Angeles that our flight would go well and that
we’d all be healthy.
·
Pray that God would keep us close to Him
and in His Word daily. That
He would continually bind our family together in love. Pray that God would
give us wisdom in raising our children, Elea
and Tyson.
Pictures
- Angie and other
pastors’ wives’ listen to a teaching by Joy Metzger during
the Hungarian Pastors’ Wives’ conference this past weekend, located
in the Historical Library on our campus. The pastors’ wives and
staff here at CCBCE helped plan it to bless the women in Hungary, Crotia and Serbia
that attended.
- Women’s
Bible Study on Monday night comes to an end until the fall. The study is led by Gwyn Walsh,
and Angie likes to be her sidekick at it.
- Jason headed to Israel with a group of
students from our college to meet up with the tour from Calvary Chapel
of Costa Mesa.
- So many of the mustard fields are
bright yellow right now and so beautiful! This picture was taken during
our drive up to Budapest
this past week. We’ll miss such beautiful landscapes while we
drive.
