Proof

Here are some photos that provide proof that I was indeed in Budapest and show that I brought more than one shirt.  The temp was 38 degrees all week. We had to change accommodation because air conditioning wasn’t working.  Some of the hotels we visited treated us to some nice food.  I came away really [...]

HR Week is no longer upon us

There it is again.  HR week is no longer upon us.  The last of our guests left yesterday and left happy I believe.  While our hope was that one or two couples would really connect in with us it would seem that it has exceeded our expectations and every person who attended the week found [...]

HR Week is upon

Yep, that’s all there is to say . . . HR week is upon us.  On Monday we will have 13 guests arrive to get a ‘best window’ peek into the organization.  It’s shaping up to be great, looking forward to meeting all these people I’ve been in contact with.  Pray that they’ll hear the [...]

Aaron S.

I just spent the morning with Aaron.  He is heading off with the team to spend the next few days in Czech at the church planter training conference.  As a pastor who spent twelve years planting a church Aaron has much to offer these church planters in shared experiences. Our meeting was about Slovakia though.  [...]

Thank [...]

Sweet Paris

Yup off it Paris with a quick stop in Germany for a meeting.  I’ll be traveling with Ian to meet up with a few people to talk about the future and the work they are doing.  We are hoping to see a few opportunities for NLI to partner with them.  Please pray that these meetings [...]

Lucia and Peter

Please pray for Lucia and Peter.  Lucia has been working with NLI for three years in Slovakia as project staff, looking after the administration and stms there.  Since the project ended last April she has been working at a few jobs and has decided that she would like to join the NLI team in a [...]

Igor Stepchuk

Many of you from CitH will remember Igor as our church planting partner in Kyiv.  I just spent an afternoon with Igor and it was encouraging to get the update on how his church is doing.  I remember that when we visited they had no one to do their music and worship ministry often using  [...]
