Above: With a little help from Austin, Ben picks up speed and burst into laughter at the retreat playground.



Above: We praise God for a wonderful three days in fellowship with fellow Pioneers team members. Pioneers Hungary as a whole is going through many changes in structure as we seek to best use our giftings and adapt to our team's growth. This is both a streching and exciting time in the life of our team.



Above: A partial showing of Pioneers Hungary members. Some (not pictured obviously) remain on furlough, and others are awaiting support before full time commitment.





Above: This is such a beautiful time of year, and the beauty was multiplied at the retreat center's connected horse ranch. Ben and Elianna had a great time riding 15 year old "László".



Above: Although you wouldn't be able to tell from this picture, 'glowing' Sharon and the kids remain quite sick. We are thankful that God calmed their coughing, allowing them to sleep through each night.

After holding a worship service as a team at the retreat center, we were quick to eat lunch and hit-the-road to return to our worship service in Petőfibánya. It was a good feeling to walk in the door and be greeted by Miki, Dezső and Csaba. I had a renewed sense of thankfulness for them and the work God is accomplishing in and through them.





Above: Ben and Anna dragging Niki into 'jail' after service. Regina (Dezső's oldest daughter) brought Niki to service tonight. Although they didn't stay to hear the preaching, I am thankful that they are very slowly approaching an encounter with God's truth. I am thankful that they feel welcomed to our church, though they cover themselves in black, have pierced lips and so on...we welcome them! We want them to hear the life changing message of the Gospel and come to the supreme Physician for complete healing. Our teammate Heidi has been able to build a relationship with Niki and Regina. Please pray for Heidi as she seeks love them and lead them to Jesus Christ.
