Wow! Long day! I´m just getting things wrapped up and will get up in a couple of hours to head to Europe. Here’s what I will be doing and I’d love to have you join me virtually by means of this blog.
- Monday, October 26 – Fly to Budapest, Hungary via Houston, Newark and Frankfurt. I’ll get in to Budapest mid afternoon Tuesday. The purpose is to explore the possibility of using this city as a base for some student mission engagement in the future. It has been many years since I have been in Budapest and even then I was just in and out. I am looking forward to getting to know this beautiful city better.
- Friday, October 30 – Take the train to Varazdin, Croatia. The last time I was here Varazdin was located in Yugoslavia. No, they haven’t moved the city, just the borders. Twenty years ago we partnered with a church in Puscine just outside of Varzdin in building a church facility. We largely lost contact during the war back in the 90’s and by an act of God made contact again this summer when Pastor Jeff Cox was in the area. On Sunday we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the facility.
- Monday, November 2 – fly to Cologne/Bonn and take the train to Frankfurt. Our opera singer friend Sergio Blazquez attends a church whose pastor is Luis Alberto Urday. Over the years we have been friends with a number of Spanish speaking congregations in Germany, including this one. Luis’ wife Martina is battling cancer and my purpose is to spend some time with them and minister to them.
- Wednesday, November 4 – take the train to Amsterdam and meet the group from KCBT that arrives early Friday morning.
Well, that’s the bare bones outline of what I will be doing, but I’ll fill in the gaps as I can along the way and keep you posted on what is happening.
Join me each day as I share what's bouncing around in my head and heart. I wish I had time to sit down with each of you over a good cup of coffee, but at least we can thank God for blogs! Oh! I'll take the coffee, too, whenever I can!
