The Good-Byes Begin

In a little over two weeks we will be leaving Hungary to change our ministry focus to Romania.  Last Thursday, our home group surprised us with a little going-away party complete with "Subway" sandwiches. 

 Misha and Alexa Tovtin hosted the gathering at their apartment.  We have been part of this home group for several years and each member has been very patient and gracious with us, allowing us to share our insights in the Scripture being discussed in our less-than-perfect Hungarian.

 Seated right to left are Klárika Szabó, Misha Tovtin, Zolika Szabó, Robi Szabó (standing), Judit Szabó and Márika Nagy. 

Sunday, Mike was invited to preach at Ibrány.  After the sermon and prayer time, we were honored to receive several gifts including a beautiful plaque thanking us for our work with Inste in Hungary.  This church is home to the Inste Level Two pilot group. 

After the meeting, the Inste leader shared with us that they really enjoy studying together and appreciated the insights and explanations offered by the material.  We are very thankful for all the people who have worked with us and continue to work with Inste here in Hungary including all the group leaders, the translators, the board members and the new director Vince Varga.  May God bless each of them and every Inste student.
