A Ministry To and For Students

Curt and Shay had the opportunity of attending a year-end bar-b-que for the leadership of Olivia's FEK ministry here in Hungary. As most of you know, this is a terrific ministry that unites American and Hungarian youth for evangelism opportunities and leadership training. We are so impressed with this very effective Campus Crusade for Christ ministry. Dan and Kelly Butts are the main coordinators for FEK.

Last night, Dan and Kelly hosted a family banquet for the student leadership team and their parents. We were encouraged to see American and Hungarian parents coming together to see and hear about the past year of accomplishments. These high school leaders (of which Olivia is a part) are just amazing! They are committed to interacting with the Hungarian youth of this culture and meeting them wherever they are in their spiritual walk with the Lord. And while they are doing this, they are being mentored and trained by college-age leaders in how to deepen their faith in the Lord and how to be a true, Christ-like leader among their peers. Curt and Shay just wish that something like this had been available when they were in high school!

We believe, as Olivia's parents, that this FEK ministry has encouraged Olivia in developing a more Biblical world view of the nations. She has grown in her spiritual relationship with God and she has become bolder in sharing her faith. We are proud of her!

Olivia will be back in the states with us this summer and plans to share with others about the wonderful opportunities for ministry here in Hungary. If you're interested in hearing her or maybe just have some questions about her work here, then email our family address and we'll forward the questions on to her.
