We are so thankful for your prayer support and financial support during these times. God listens to prayers! In the 5 weeks we have had students and staff arrive from 13 countries, to an otherwise closed country. Our multiple waves of internationals have gone through quarantine after they arrived, and now as we start our 5th week of classes, there is only 1 …

Have you ever had a time in your life when you just couldn’t believe how mightily God answered your prayers? In these instances I often think of Acts 12. The believers who were likely praying for Peter’s deliverance couldn’t believe that he was actually there at their gate.While we were praying for the students to be able to come this …

Dear Friends, Certainty in the Midst of Uncertainty is the title of many sermons since March 2020. COVID19 sure has changed this year, and the years to come. But it didn’t change who God is, His power, His faithfulness, and His goodness. With Him, in Him, we have peace despite our circumstances. We praise Him for this fantastic, unfathomable gift! …

Dear Friends, We are about to start Week 5 at our camps! So far we had almost 440 campers, we expect another 330 during the next 3 weeks of camps. Over 90 campers made a decision to trust Jesus as their personal Savior and 75 made a decision to dedicate their lives to Him so far. Praise God! Please pray …

Dear Friends, Camp starts this Sunday and both of our girls are going to be campers the first week of camp. We are very excited and so are they! The camp’s theme this year is Jungle, I cannot wait to see all the decoration! I am sure it will be a lot of fun! We weren’t sure if camps will …

Dear Friends, Another BI year has ended. We miss the students terribly, but are so proud of them and how well they’ve done in this unprecedented time. The courses are done, summer ministry is all that is left. Our hope and prayer is that they continue to be a light wherever they are, and that they remember all that they …

Dear Friends, We are so grateful that we have internet! While I am sure we would make do without it, I can’t imagine how we would keep in touch with all the students if we didn’t have internet. Chris has been busy making sure the Bible School runs smoothly, as you can imagine, we are facing new challenges, but so …

Are things as crazy and uncertain in your neck of the woods as they are here? It’s good to rest in the knowledge that God is bigger than all this! We really have quite the opportunity to show our trust in Him, when people are faced with uncertainty all around them. When Jerusalem was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 586, Jeremiah …

Dear Friends, We arrived over 2 and a half years ago to serve here at Word of Life Hungary. Chris’ position changed each year, and we had two kids meanwhile. Life is not boring! 🙂 I thought it was time to have a Q&A again. We did one before we left for Hungary, but now that we are here, maybe …

Dear Friends, We are so excited to have the students back! They arrived early January, and after a couple of weeks of courses, we had our very first Missions Week here at Word of Life Hungary. During Missions Week our students had the opportunity to serve in different areas. Some were picking up trash in our village, some helped with …

Dear Friends, Happy New Year! May it be full of blessings! Our students are soon returning and we cannot wait to see them again! It’s always so quiet and different without them. We had a wonderful break, spent with friends and family. I love this time of year when we slow down and remember Jesus’ birth and what He means …

Dear Friends, In the month of Thanksgiving, I think it’s fitting to write about why I am thankful to be part of this ministry. Usually Chris writes the ministry blogs, but this time I will write about life from home. Since we have little children, I don’t get to go in and work from the property. This also means I …

The very first year of the Word of Life Bible Institute began 25 years ago in 1994. And this September we had our 26th opening weekend, with about 60 students from 15+ countries. We are privileged to have these young men and women with us! It has been a great start, with a great team dedicated to making this year …

Dear friends, Only a few more days until registration day! On this day, 25 years ago there were exactly 0 students at the WOL Hungary Bible Institute – and by God’s grace, on September 13th we will have our 25th BI opening weekend with over 60 students enrolled from over a dozen countries. They have all come here to invest …

Dear Friends, We are in week 6 of our camp season, one more week to go. We have had over 700 campers so far, many decisions were made for Christ, many dedications, and most importantly, all these campers heard the Gospel clearly several times! Most of our staff is getting tired, but we often say it’s the good kind of …

Dear Friends, We are super excited, camp season started this past week! Amy was a camper this first week, and she loved it. She did baseball again, just like last year, but from what I heard, she actually has gotten better! This year she was with two of her best friends, Madelin and Gracie and they even shared a dorm. …

Dear friends, we are nearing the end of this school year, and the next ministry update won’t be until after our students have finished the academic year. More on this wonderful school year when we post in June. This month I would like to share some exciting news with you about some transitions at the Bible Institute. John Deal, who …

Dear Friends, We are super excited to have our own house and to share the blessing that is with others. We have the guest teacher(s) and their wives (if they travel with them) over on Fridays, a group of staff over on Monday, and every other Thursday we have our Family Group here. Our Family Group consists of 7 students …

As I mentioned last time, we have several people lined up to work short-term in the BI helping serve the needs of the students. Please be praying for them, and their support-raising efforts! If you would like to support any of them financially, or otherwise partner with them, I would be glad to put you in contact! I am very, …

Bethany McKee Caleb Moser These are the words of 2 of our students who decided to dedicate their lives to world missions during our Missions Conference this month. It is wonderful to see how the Word of God can transform hearts and lives. Three things have made the past few weeks exciting, with more excitement to come! Our students have …

Dear family and friends! We wish you a Blessed New Year! May God bless you richly as you faithfully serve Him! We are so thankful to be able to start a new year here at Word of Life Hungary, our fist one as long term, full time missionaries. Our prayer is that we will be lights in Tóalmás (the town …

During the first week of November, Lili, Joshua, and I spent a few days at a Word of Life campus near Berlin, Germany for the annual European MIT (Missionaries in Training). Those attending the conference were young people and families who wish to serve long-term with Word of Life in different countries. The candidates were interviewed by some Word of …

Dear Friends, In a few days we leave for one of Word of Life Germany’s locations. This year that is where MIT (Missionary in Training) will take place in Europe. This training is needed before we can officially become long term, full time Word of Life missionaries. Please pray for us as we go through the training, and for our …

The school year has started, and we are very excited! God has provided a wonderful group of students, and exceptional second year students, many of which are leaders in their dorm rooms. I can’t wait to see how God uses them in the lives of their room-mates this year! Also, we have some new people who have joined us as …

The new school year is almost here, and young parents everywhere are sending their first graders to school for the first time, older kids are anxious about fitting in at a new High School, and many college students are calculating credits to get a degree for a good career and paycheck. This is a normal part of life. Almost everyone …
