Dear friends
Greetings from Budapest. I am spending a few days here with a friend before leaving for Ukraine.
My 3rd semester in Bible college is over and I am looking forward to what God has for me next. It is sad and at the same time not. Sad because the blessed time in a "spiritual bubble" :) is over and it's time to face the "real world", good because we finally can pour out what we were being filled with every day throughout the semester. It has been a wonderful time of studies, fellowship and ministry to the community but most of all -prayer. It was the semester of praying the impossible! God has been faithful and encouraged us with good news about people we prayed for during those 3.5 months and I know that many more good news are waiting for the students at home.
Well, now, equipped with all the knowledge and assured in His goodness we are ready to go and "tell all the nations". But where? Lack of plans for the nearest future is a typical plan for a Bible college student, a" CCBCE syndrome" if you will.
I must admit there are so many open doors and needs everywhere that I am at a loss. I wish I could go everywhere and serve in every country and city I ever prayed for this semester: Austria, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Cyprus.I genuanely desire to be in all of these countries.. But whatever future holds, I know Who holds my future and I am so filled with His promises and love that I can not doubt His good intentions for my life.
Praise report:
- finished homework - sometimes it seemed to be too much!
- kind people God sends on my way wherever I go
Prayer requests:
- Family of my Hungarian friend Krista - to be open to the Gospel at this time when they celebrate Jesus' birth
- Clear direction on my future step
- Provision for the travels
- Time with non Christian relatives and friends in Kiev, Moscow and Novosibirsk
