Legal Legwork

This week has been filled with tracking down the board members of the new Hungarian INSTE association in order to get their signatures on documents for the current step in obtaining official papers for INSTE to operate independently in Hungary. We are thankful for our lawyer, Mirjam Gulyas, who has done the major portion of the work for us.  God gave her to us.

We are learning some things about legal processes in Hungary.  Legal matters are difficult in every country, but especially when one is unfamiliar with local customs.  Anyway, the papers we submitted last month were returned by the court with several small changes requested and one large one--the name.  They did not like that the name included both "extension" and "institute" since there is no physical "institute" to "extend" from.  Okay, so we chose a simpler name--Hungarian Association for Biblical Training.  Since the name was changed, every document had to be changed and all the new papers signed by all ten association members.  Hopefully, we will be able to finish gathering signatures this evening and get the papers turned in to the court on Monday, right before the deadline.

Please keep praying for favor from the courts for Hungarian INSTE.
