God has moved This is my final newsletter as a missionary and a teacher in Hungary. I can’t believe it’s been almost seven years! I remember being sent out on a Wednesday night along with Nick Groenewold. I said I was only going to be in Hungary for 6 months…...
God Has Placed Us Have you ever felt like God has put you somewhere for an exact time, maybe even an exact moment? Some might call this serendipitous or a coincidence, but I have to believe it’s the hand of God. Looking ahead to the month of April, I was...
