Executive Director's Visit

We were privileged to have the Executive Director of Open Bible Global Missions Vince McCarty in our home the past week.  We picked Vince up in Oradea, Romania on Tuesday afternoon and he stayed with us until Sunday.  Vince had been in Gherla, Romania over the previous weekend to install a new pastor in the Open Bible Church there.  Teo Bulzan, pastor of a Pentecostal Holiness Church in Oradea, has been giving oversight to the church in Gherla and was with Vince to install the new pastor there.  He then brought Vince back to Oradea with him, we met them for lunch, and afterward brought Vince back to Debrecen.

Vince spoke in three Open Bible Churches, participated in the INSTE board meeting on Friday, presented a leadership seminar Saturday afternoon, and talked with many Hungarian Open Bible Church leaders during his time here. Vince is our boss, so we were able to discuss our ministry here with him and receive his helpful insights.

Vince encouraged the Open Bible people here, reminding them that they belong to the large, world-wide Open Bible family of over 1800 churches located in 45 countries.  He noted that he has personally visited ten of those countries this year!  We are so thankful that he made time to visit us.
