Street Ball Fever



Curt was asked to join a 3 member basketball team to participate in the annual Street Ball Competition that happened yesterday in downtown Budapest. There were at least 70 or so 3 member teams made up of all ages including guys and gals. The teams played simultaneously on one goal courts with double elimination rules. It was neat to watch so many games going on at once. The event last all day and there were also free throw competitions along with a fancy hoops competition.

Curt's other team members included an American and a Hungarian. Great relationships have been made through Curt's basketball contacts. Curt agreed to participate just for the fun of it and the experience. But his team ended up winning in the category they entered!

After his part in the competition was done, Curt and Olivia raced off to participate in another invitation that Curt had received through a different group of Hungarian guys he plays with. It was a garden party with his teammates and some of their family members. A very busy day of continuing critical relationships and waiting for opportunities to share Christ.
