We are in the midst of cross-cultural training and language acquisition study. You can think of it as Missionary Boot Camp. A typical day starts with early morning exercise, coffee, prayer, more coffee, and bible study.

It is a great joy to be visiting home! We are soaking up the hugs from family, friends and church family.

Have you ever wondered if there is spiritual bubble wrap? If there is such a thing, I am certain it is woven together by prayers of faithful people.

The first weekend of June I had the great honor of delivering a public prayer of blessing for an “up and coming” missionary, Carmella Jones. We both happened to be at the Michigan American Baptist Women’s Conference in De Witt, MI.

Spend 10 days assisting with summer English camps and touring the capital city, Budapest.

On January 15, 2017, the Rev. Carmella Jones was commissioned by the American Baptist International Ministries (IM) Board of Directors to serve in Hungary.
