back from a wonderful week

My friend Thomas Jettel and I spent all of last week training 50 Hungarian speaking Romanians.
Thomas did a careful and challeging exegetical verse-by-verse of Daniel.
I did a synopsis of Galatians.
It was a very full week, and the men noticed why it is important to avoid interruptions when trying to study something indepth!

We were able to fly down to Sibiu, Romania. The camp and conference centre is Swiss owned, Swiss built and Swiss run. Even the electrical outlets are Swiss!

The city allowed us to use their gym in the afternoon which was a real help to beef up attention spans in the afternoon!

In the evenings we had general discussion times that were very challenging. I was asked to do an impromptu speech on two evenings of the most common reasons men quit their responsibilities serving the LORD in a church or mission setting!

I also spent a lot of time counselling.
So the days were very full, the nights very short.

My friend Thomas is a "late to bed and early to rise, makes a man healty, tired and wise".
The good old boy is up anywhere from 4 - 5 AM.
But it was a good experience as it provides ample time to spend in the WORD an in prayer!

Thank-your for your prayers!
