Hey there!
I (Chris) will cover the more ministry-related stuff here, and let Lili fill in the personal things further on down! (Like whether it's a boy or a girl... :o)
So, since I last wrote, the new year has started at the BI!
With 35 students, the student body has 12 countries represented! How exciting it will be, when they will be able to take the training they received here, and apply it in the ministry in their respective homes! Of course, they are able to apply it while at school as well, since an integral part of the program involves weekend ministries.
Thankfully, we are able to be a part of that to some degree! During the first week of school, all the staff and students went out for 2 days of evangelism on the streets of Budapest! An unprecedented 60 people professed faith in Christ as a result of this! It is amazing how God uses us, when we are willing!

The weekend after that, Word of Life hosted an International Youth Leaders Conference, where many young people from several countries dedicated their lives to Christ! My mother and a few classmates from Bible School also came to the conference. It was very good to see them again. (Also, Chris had the privilege to design the poster for the event, which you can see on the right.) -Lili
Then the first Sunday of October, Lili and I had the privilege to go minister with the Sing Team at an evangelistic meeting in a small church in NE Hungary. I sang with the team just this once, and Lili shared her testimony.
Meanwhile I have been translating in the Bible School for both first- and second year classes (though not at the same time... :o), as well as continuing my A/V and multimedia responsibilities!
Please pray for an upcoming performance of our Born Again to a Living Hope drama, I will be going to assist with the technical side of things this upcoming week.

Hey there, it's me (Lili). I try to do everything according to what Chris tells me to do, so I got permission from him to also share my ministry opportunities alongside the personal stuff : ).
Has it really been two months since we last shared? On one hand it seemed like a week, on the other hand it seemed like a year... : )

Well, let's see what happened. Chris and I are working on the camp's website (you can see a picture of the banner on the left) and hope it's going to be up soon.
I also organize the Bible Clubs for the campers and summer staff and we already had our first one! 15 people came plus 9 people from Word of Life. We had a lot of fun and Laci was teaching us about how to share our testimonies. It was a great lesson and I cannot wait for the next club where we are going to here from Zoli, a Bible School graduate and a camp intern, about our Quiet time.
Chris' parents surprised us with a plane ticket to the States for Christmas! Becky (Chris' sister), Chris and I are going to go for 3 weeks. I'm looking forward to it so much! Also, it seems like we are going to have a Word of Life reunion as well! God is so gracious to us! So many blessings at once!
Our dear friend, Timi Tanyi had her farewell party on October 10th. She is currently serving at Word of Life South Africa and will come back a few days before camp starts here. She and I are really close friends and it's very different without her. Though she is doing well which obviously makes me happy. She also has a blog where you can see what's going on with her, if you are interested, don't hesitate to check it out: http://timeatanyi.blogspot.com/
Oh, and the baby : ). She (yes, it's a she!!!!) is moving all the time. She is over 7 inches long (HC) and weights more than 11 ounces. Honestly, I cannot wait to finally meet her in person. We don't know her name yet, but we are thinking about it.
The last time I had my ultrasound, the doctor showed her to me in 3D. I have to tell you she is gorgeous already : ).
As you may know, we are planning on going to the States after this school year (around August) to finish our studies. Please keep us in your prayers as we decide where exactly we would like to go, what exactly we would like to study. Another prayer request would be a job for Chris as we get to the States as well as a house we can stay at. : )
God bless you all!

We want to thank all of you who have supported us by praying and through financial means!
Please continue to pray, and pray that God would send people to support us for this year.
We received about %20 of the support budget for last year, but since this is the start of a new year, whatever comes in first would go towards my health insurance, and then towards meeting the cost of WOL Hungary for me to eat here. We ask that you would prayerfully consider supporting this ministry in this way!
If you choose to, you can either donate online here:
