An Eventful Week

When a phone rings, one just doesn't know what the person may say that will change a person's immediate plans. Have you ever had that experience? Probably so!

Without going into too many details, we have had the opportunity this week to minister to an American family going through a severe crisis. The phone rang last Saturday afternoon, Budapest time, and it was my sister calling to tell us of a young man living in Budapest that had fallen from a balcony. He is a brother-in-law of some BSF friends of ours in Alabama. We had never met this young man but we knew of him. He was in critical condition with head injuries and was fighting for his life, we were told. We were able to find the hospital he was in and went there to pray and to be available until the young man's dad could get to Budapest, from the states, on Sunday afternoon. Many have prayed for this situation throughout the last few days and it has been humbling to watch God graciously intervene and allow this young man to get a little bit better each day. He is still in critical condition but there is real hope that there is not severe brain damage and that he will survive this terrible accident. The young man's father is staying with us and is able to visit his son on a daily basis. If you're interested in more details or just want specifics to pray about, please email us. We thought we were coming to Budapest to serve Hungarians! But God has given us the privilege of serving those from our own nation in this foreign culture! God is in heaven and does as He pleases....
