A few years after we were married, Curt began a small trade show exhibit design company called Southern Convention Services. It is currently located in Madison, Alabama. God has blessed this company by bringing wonderful people to work there and for allowing it to help support us while we're on the mission field.
Shay worked for several years in the business world before becoming a stay-at-home mom when Olivia was born. Soon after Meredith was born, we began praying about the possibility of homeschooling both girls when the girls were older. The decision was made to begin this journey of home education and we are currently in our 11th year of this adventure.
In 2002, we believed that God was calling us into full time Christian ministry as missionaries. After almost a year in prayer, we made a public commitment in March 2003 to this call. Through a series of events, we decided that Bible Study Fellowship was the organization that we would serve with in overseas missions. Bible Study Fellowship trained us to be "class planters" for BSF in Budapest, Hungary. The hope is that a ladies and a men's class will eventually be thriving in this city.
The Brannons have been in Budapest for a year and a half and we are continuing to learn how to live in a foreign culture. God has graciously provided a very comfortable home, many new friends, and opportunities for the girls to be involved in ministry, too. Recently, a ladies' BSF class has begun and we are praying for growth in that class-numerically and spiritually.
Feel free to contact us through our family email address: brannons@scsonline.com We would love to hear from you!
