What Are We Doing?

While in Hungary, The Handful will be doing a series of relational youth ministries in eastern Hungary through a partnership with Russell and Trudy Chun of Good Sports International.

Our tentative schedule:

Jan. 5th - We will be departing from LAX on an 18 hour flight to Budapest, Hungary, with one layover in Germany.
Jan. 6th - We arrive in Budapest where we'll spend that day recuperating from jet lag and preparing to minister.
Jan. 7th - We will travel to Miskolcs to meet Russell and Trudy Chun and minister in the orphanage there.
Jan. 9th - We'll head to Debrecen to minister in a variety of ways: partnering with the Calvary Chapel in Debrecen to hold a retreat for the teenage girls from the orphange, repairing and restoring a facility for a Roma ministry, reaching out to college-aged students, and teaching English.
Jan. 19th - We return to Budapest to rest and debrief
Jan. 21st - We'll arrive back home to Southern California to prepare for the spring semester

In order to bring a spirit of encouragement to our brothers and sisters in Hungary as well as sharing the hope of Christ to those lost in Hungary, we submit our plans to God and our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would direct our ministry in Hungary and keep our focus on God's will and not our own, possibly flawed, schedules and plans.

"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" - Romans 10:14-15
