Close to 200 of us were at the Fall Student Retreat! In Hungary, that is a huge number – I remember having 20 students less than ten years ago… The theme of the weekend was “God’s faithfulness”. The topic came from the line with Hebrews 13:7 “Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instructs you, as well as their truthfulness.” (The Message translation)
We invited 2 missionary couples who have lived in Eastern Europe in the last 30 years. Trent and Vivien were the first CCC missionary couple in East-Germany. Virgil and Kathy they were the fist CCC missionary couple in Hungary in 1979! They are still in Eastern Europe with Campus Crusade.
They shared about how they experiences God’s faithfulness throughout these years...
They were great examples to us. We asked them to share their stories with us. We learned for example that these Americans were here on tourist visas. And although they had a family and a home here, every single month they went to Vienna, applied for another 30-day-long tourist visa and prayed that they would receive it! And they did this for almost 10 years!
