Hey friends,

Seems like the world of xanga is dying.. at least mine does.. I am too lazy to write.

anyway. now I decided to put my last months into few words..

I became an officially staff member of the Calvary Chapel Bubapest church. They are still working on the paper things, and we are still looking for support for they would be able to pay me for it.

My role on staff is mostly administration, and translation things: like missionary newsletters, women materials, and many many other things which needs to be translated into Hungarian.. and I am also involved in conseling which is a very big challenge.. I really really need to lean on to God with that.. it is a special ministry, with big responsibility for sure. I really need the Holy Spirit for this ministry.

Also, every friday, I am going to Sopron, to a town, which is close to the austrian border. Tony and Kim started a church over there, and every friday they have a bible study there. They asked me to be their translator.. what made me shocked.. bc you all know me, how I am with my English.. too shy.. but bc I was studying there years ago, I said I try, bc I want to be involved in that ministry. So since few months I m translating those bible studies.. which is sometimes very very difficult for me, but God keeps me there, and helps me to learn. It is one thing that makes me humbled, bc I do mistakes very easily.. hard to pay attention soo focused.   

If you can pray for me, it would be a huge blessing for me. My prayer requests are these: I would be anointed in these ministries especially the conseling ministry, and just be brave to be God's prophet in different situations. Please pray for my heart, for it would be a servant heart toward people. These are the most important things. And you can also pray for my english to get better and also for find financial support, and for my health bc these months I dont have insurance.

love you all,

Please keep me updated,

God bless you all,

Erika

just an encouragement..

As you know Im translating women materials into Hungarian.. and it became totally sure I wont get any support for that. At first I started it on this way, but after some people started to mentioning that I might can get.. so they made my hopes up.. but finally the answer was no. I was sad a little bit, but I wanted to be faithful in it, bc I know that God was the one who gave me the desire to be involved in this ministry and bless other women here in this country. so I went to the church next day to keep doing the translation work.. and after a little while I started to feel really sad.. and my mind also was soo mixed up with lies.. it was a battle.. it was against me, for I would stop in this.. I was totally blocked.. I couldnt even type few words..for soo long..   for more than an hour.. I wanted to cry.. it was really weird.. there were stupid lies about me.. like what are the church people think now about me working here day by day, but seems like God doesent work things out, and probably I dont see the things well.. and as everybody tells about working would be the best and right thing to do.. I was totally comfused.. but I also knew that God was the one who started this.. but still the lies were there.. but these people still think the best way would be if I wouldnt be there, and not working there.. I felt Im just bothering them.. It was soo scarry and I almost went home.. I had no streinght to type the words.. I knew the lies were lies, but even tough I knew it, I wasnt able to deal with it alone.. so when Attila came I knew the only thing I need is to get comformation about that these were just lies. so I asked him.. Am I bother here and stuff like this.. and then of course no.. He said that those were totally not true thougths.. so right after He said this.. I could keep working again.. and everything went soo good.. God streinghtened me and gave me such peace about everything.. He was talking to me also.. and spoke to my heart about His faithfulness and about how good is to trust in Him.. and my next day was even more happier.. I just knew God will take care of everything.. and I was sure Im in His work, His ministry.. and then.. I went home. It was late night.. and I found a letter on my bed.. it was a mail from my sweet angel friend:) and it was 60 dollars in it.. It was God perfect timing and perfect way and the perfect gift for me..

He knows everything.. and everything is in His hands.. and He is taking care of all the things of ours..

It is just a good little miracle of our great God.. what shows How much He loves us.. and what a perfect Father He is..

love, all of you,

my calvary chapel family,

I have some news. I got the opportunity to translate women books into Hungarian ( The Word for Today Ministry  ). When I got to know this I couldnt even sleep bc I was soo happy.  But I also felt like a rabbit.. shaking and soo scared.. It seems a high mountain for me.. too high.. but this is what God does usually.. He uses people who are not able to do something to show His power and faithfulness, and goodness.. He can give us streinght and wisdom to finish the run what He had called us to do so.. well.. Im really amazed.. crazy to realze that I wil translate. and an other thing is I will be used by Him in His beautiful work amoung women.. Its crazy bc I remember how I was with this woman issue.. I was always soo jealous of the boys in Vajta bc they were talking about ministry and great stuff.. and I was always struggling to just being there at the women class.. I hated it. It was too girly for me.. and just too peaceful and too gentle.. I dont know how can I describe it.. anyway.. thats true I think even the women bible study changed also.. what I was really thankful for by the way.. but my heart also changed a lot. and just see.. now God is leading me to minister toward women.. by this translating ministry.. and who knows what is coming.. I know He wants to use me in this area in the future somehow and its just a really good thing to realize it.

God is good.. He has funny, but perfect ways for our lives..

Please pray for me.. for being able to translate with wisdom, and with my whole heart.. and please pray for support.. I know it will take long time, what Im so thankful for.. bc this is what Im was waiting for.. for an open door for just serving God, with all my time too.. and Im really really happy to have this opportunity, but Im in need thats for sure.. again living with my family.. who you know its a difficult background.. I want to move back to Budapest.. and on that way I would be closer to the church and just being available more for ministry stuff.. oh I didnt even mentioned the other things..

oh God is soo good. He is giving me soo much. soo.. we are having a sunday night service.. and we the old CCBCE guys are leading it. actually the guys Oliver, Dani, Szilard, etc.. and I have a little part also in it in the counseling, praying part.. many of us doing it.. for me it is the best time of the week.. the main thing what makes me really blessed. Sometimes there are really hard situations what I have to face with.. but its just being such a blessing.. Gods heart blesses me.. gives me love toward those people, and I see Himself and His power to move.. and its just really really amazing.. I have to always surrender myself, always just let Him work.. and being humbled.. but it bears beauty.. ! .. 

and an other ministry what I havent started really deeply yet.. its our new church magazin.. what just started.. we dont really have the out printed magazin yet.. hopefully few days.. but I got a part in the photojournalist part.. so I m blessed with this opprtunity also..

and there are many other things going on in my life. I cant even follow it with my mind sometimes.. but these are things what I got from God. and I want to be faithful with it.. 

thanks for your love and prayer!

love you all,

Erika  

well.. just a prayer request.

there is a mission organisation - the hungarian department of the Eastern Europian Outreach - where I would have a chance to work.. They said they would love to having me working with them, but bc of the new not really good laws in Hungary.. they wouldnt be able to employing me normally.. and I need to get sponsors.. but you all know its a bit difficult.. I dont know whats the best attitude for it.. Im kind of comfused in this area.. anyway.. so just please pray for me for this whole situation. so I would be brave and obidient to stepping forwards on the right direction. 

and maybe you heard about the things what re going on in Hungary.. well.. its really sad.. to see the hopelessness on the faces of the people.. they are so discouraged.. 2 days ago we had the 50 years anniversary of the war of independence of 1956.. and something alike started to going on in Hungary these days.. and the police are kind of violent with people. but also the people are violent bc they are so frustrated , and discouraged.. and many of them went to jail.. there were innocents also, as it happens sometimes times like this.. anyway.. just please pray for this little country also.and for that the beleivers in this country would be the fragrance of hope.

thank you so much.

Erika

hey everbody, my beloved family,

I was in Greece for few months. I got a job there in a hotel as a kid animatour.. so I had many many opportunity to talk to people ( kids, parents, other turists, and other workers and local people also.. ). few really good conversation made the whole time really really precious, and bc of those Im really happy for that I went.

Oh that country need Jesus soo much as any other also.. but that place is soo empty. in such need. I didnt meet any beleiver there.. seems like there are nobody.. I never heard about anyone there..but sure some people has to be there in that big Greece..at least some turists jump in the picture... in the season.. but there are there for such a short time 1 max 2 weeks, who mainly just want a holiday there..  oh how great would be if there would be some misionary there.. by the way if any of you knows about anybody there, let me know please!!!

and of course here are some pictures about my great time there.
