Furlough
We are busy getting ready to return to the US for a year of furlough. We have our airline tickets for departure on July 16. Our time in the US will include short visits with our kids and grandkids, taking care of US business, but mostly visiting churches reporting on what we have been doing here and asking for prayer and financial support for our next term.
We are scheduled to visit churches in California beginning in September and churches in the Central Region beginning in January.
Such plans bring many feelings with them--
We are sad to have to be gone from our Hungarian friends and our work for such a long time. Every Hungarian who hears that we will be gone for a year says, "That's such a long time!" It is, but we will stay in touch by internet with friends and we have capable office help in Misha and Alexa who will handle the INSTE work while we are gone. The INSTE groups will continue. Besides, one of our goals is to raise funds for translating INSTE Level Two into Hungarian so INSTE can grow to its full potential.
We are happy to be able to see our kids and grandkids. We really enjoy being able to talk with them on Skype, but seeing them all in person and giving them hugs will be even better.
We have loads of details to handle before we leave and many more things to do to prepare for church visits in the US. We keep wondering, are we forgetting something?
The year we will be in the US we will be traveling and living out of suitcases most of the time. But, we are really looking forward to seeing friends who have been praying for us and supporting us for the past couple of years and meeting new friends who will help is in the future. Plus, it is always a blessing to be able to minister through the Holy Spirit to pastors, other believers and pre-believers wherever we go.
We ask that you keep us in your prayers and we hope to be able to see you sometime when we're in the US!
