November 2007 Update

Phi 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

This month has been an extremely busy month due to all of the travel that Brian has been doing with the two different speaker's weeks in Bucharest and Hungary. Brian spent the 1st part of November in Bucharest for a week with the the small bible school that is being sponsored by the Calvary Chapel in Bucharest. The speakers for the week were Ken Sutton, assistant pastor for Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, and Rob Wolf, who is also an elder from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. They shared some great messages about coming out of spiritual lows and getting back into the fight. It was very refreshing and encouraging to here from both of these speakers. It was also a great time of fellowship visiting with and hearing what the Lord is doing in all of the pastor's lives and ministries.

At the end of the month Brian and Adi took a flight from Cluj to Budapest and attended the speakers week at the Bible college in Vajta. Pastor's Rich Chaffin and Jim Gallagher shared from the book of Philippians. Which was a personal blessing to Brian because the Lord confirmed in his heart the things that he had shown him while studying the same sections for the midweek studies in Bistrita. It was a great time of study and fellowship and seeing old friends that we usually only see once a year. Brian had a great time hanging out with Ethan Larson and Andrew Mccall, fellow Calvary Boise missionaries. It was good to see how they were doing.

Brian was also able to attend the Hungarian pastor's meeting which was a wonderful time of prayer. If you could remember to pray for the missionaries that are serving, there is a lot of personal attack throughout all of the works. Pray for protection for our families, marriages, and unity within the churches.

The last update for this month would the good news of an actual heating system for the church. It has taken 2 years to get it but we have an actual central heating system installed in the church. The great news is that it cost us half of what we were figuring due to a brother in the church that has a contracting company. Its been a real blessing for all of the ladies in the fellowship since they are not cold anymore plus not having our bathroom freeze up during the winter which is even better.

• Heating system installed.
