February Update 2013

Greetings from the land of the Magyar people!  We’re delighted to give you another update on what the Lord is doing here in Eastern Europe.

Celebrating four years

Family: In January and February, the Lord continued to give Charity, Hope, and Christopher more poems, which they really enjoy writing. They wrote several, and we posted the best ones online, including "America, Turn Back to God" (see here), "Overflowing Blessings" (see here), "Sheep and the Goats" (see here) and "Use Your Talents" (see here).  Their blog, called "Verses to the King" has already received nearly 2,000 page views from some fifteen countries.

In February, we celebrated our sixteenth wedding anniversary and Joseph's fourth birthday. 

Ministry: Last month we mentioned the poor lady with cancer, named Elizabeth, who gave her life to Christ.  In January, during one of our visits to see her and her mother, she testified that the tumor on her neck is getting smaller, and it is no longer causing her any pain like it had been.  However, she said that the tumor on her right abdomen seemed to be growing and the pain from it was keeping her from sleeping.  Even maximum doses of powerful morphine were not enough to stop the pain.  So we laid hands on and prayed for her.  Afterward she said that the Lord had taken the pain away.  Praise the Lord!  Please agree with us in prayer for a complete healing. Her mother also testified that she has not felt any rheumatoid arthritic pain in her back for two weeks, since immediately after she received prayer.  Hallelujah!  Give God all the praise!

Erzsébet, Jennifer, and Len

Shortly after we arrived at Elizabeth's home, Gábor showed up with his wife, Kriszti, so that she could give Elizabeth a haircut.  They were a few hours late for a scheduled cut, but it coincided perfectly with our visit. After singing some worship songs, Len spoke about the baptism with the Holy Spirit.  Afterward, all four Hungarians in the room received the Holy Spirit!  Elizabeth wept and shook when she did, and said later that she felt like she was not even sitting in her seat.  Her mother said that she never found it so easy to speak in another language.  She felt like she could just fly away.  And Kriszti said she felt so happy inside when she received the Holy Spirit.  Praise the Lord! God is so good.

Even Gábor received the Holy Spirit, and earlier during his visit there, he had received a call from his pastor at the Baptist church, named Géza.  Géza called to tell him that they would be having a sending service to commission Gábor and another brother to plant the new church in Tököl that he and Kriszti had started in their home with four other couples from that town.  They will be having their first public meeting at the end of February in a rented building, and we have been invited.  Please pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on that first meeting.  Gábor said he plans to invite Len to preach at a future meeting there.

When we left the home of the Elizabeths, everyone felt that the Lord had arranged for Gábor to come when we were there, so that Len would have a translator to share this important message. They were all filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit, praising and thanking God for the great things He had done.

We would also like to mention that ever since these ladies gave their lives to Jesus, Gábor has been helping to make them into disciples.  So this is another second generation of disciples here, in addition to the ones David V. is producing. Praise the Lord that the little garden here is beginning to multiply.

In February, Elizabeth was admitted to the hospital by ambulance, because there were two liters of water in her right lung that were suffocating her.  That has been resolved, but they have not released her from the hospital. She is back on chemotherapy, which has been extremely torturous for her to undergo. However, the tumors are visibly shrinking.  She was put into a private room, and usually has no other visitors, since her only family is her mother and son, who live too far away. We would appreciate your continued prayers for her.

A couple of men have contacted Len through the internet, asking for help. They are backslidden and want to return to God, but do not believe any more in His mercy for them.  Len has been writing to them to encourage them and point them back to Jesus.  One of them is named Darryl in the US and the other is Denis N in Russia.  Denis had been saved and received the Holy Spirit, but then he went back into the world.  As a result of his sin, he lost his mind and was committed to an institution. He has since been released, but is plagued by terrifying thoughts and feels he is hopeless. He does not feel he can repent. Please pray for him to repent and receive the Lord's mercy and forgiveness.

Edith, Andrew, Len, and Jennifer

We mentioned previously that a Hungarian, medical doctor named Endre ("Andrew") surrendered his life to the Lord, inviting Jesus into his heart.  We have been helping to locate a good church for him to attend in his hometown in Hungary, as well as in England, where he works two weeks at a time each month.  Unfortunately we have no news to report, since he has not been in touch with us.

Gábor has been for follow up visits with the doctors, regarding his kidney.  He has not had any symptoms since he was healed, but the doctors are not taking any chances.  They are planning surgery, based on the images taken prior to his healing.  They say it is a cyst, which must be removed, and the two months it would take to get another image is too long.  They want to operate within the next three weeks without even doing a needle biopsy, which they claim could damage his kidney or produce a false negative result.  Gábor needs wisdom from the Lord at this time to know how to proceed, and that is what we're praying for him.  No weapon that is formed against him shall prosper.

Kriszti and Gábor

Jennifer continues to visit with and build relationship with Rita, the poor, gypsy lady we mentioned last time, as well as her boyfriend.

We count it a joy and a privilege to serve the Lord here in this place that was once (not all that long ago) held captive behind the Soviet communist, iron curtain for fifty years.

Resources:  This month we would also like to encourage you to read  a message about "The New Wine" (see here); a poem that Charity also wrote, called "The Meaning of Life" (see here); Other inspiring, new poems written by our children include "Overflowing Blessings" (see here) and "The Sheep and the Goats" (see here).

As always, Len's entire collection of most popular blogs are at "Writing for the Master" (see here).  We welcome your comments on this newsletter, so feel free to leave those below.

In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.

Praise the Lord with us for the many answers to prayer:

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness." (Ps 115:1)

1. For giving sixteen wonderful years of marriage, and four years of life to Joseph.
2. For the faith of Erzsébet ("Elizabeth") in the midst of her trials.
3. For baptizing Elizabeth, her mother, Gábor and Kriszti in the Holy Spirit.
4. For inspiring our children with more poems that are blessing others.
5. For the open doors of ministry on other continents.

Next steps and prayer needs:

1. For the Lord to pour out his Spirit on the new church opening in Tököl, and cause it to grow.
2. For the Lord to reveal Himself to all the non believers in Hungary, whom we have touched, especially Rita the poor, gypsy lady. 
3. For the Lord to give us wisdom and understanding to know His will in each situation we go through.
4. For Erzsébet ("Elizabeth") to be completely healed of cancer, and her son István ("Steven") to be saved.
5. For "Andrew" to grow in his new relationship with Jesus, and for his wife Edith, and daughters to come to Christ also.
6. For the Lord to further expand the awareness of this ministry throughout the US, Europe, and England, and raise up many new partners.
7. For the Lord to continue to multiply disciples through Dávid V. and the others in his church. 
8. For the outpouring of His Holy Spirit here in Diosd to continue to ripple all across Hungary and Eastern Europe.
9. For the Lord to powerfully anoint and help Len as he meets with pastors, elders, and disciples here in Hungary this winter.
10. For our financial blessing.  

Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

with love from all of us,

January Update 2013

Greetings from Hungary!  We’re delighted to give you another update on some of the exciting things the Lord is doing here in Eastern Europe.

Family: In December and January, the Lord continued to give Charity more poems, which she really enjoys writing. They have already begun to touch people who read them, and we've received very positive feedback about them. The testimonies of her experiences with God indicate that the Lord is the one inspiring these. She wrote several, but we posted her best ones online, including the "Eyes of the Lord" (see here), "My Anchor" (see here), "Mirror of Christ" (see here) and "Vessel for the Master" (see here).

We've been so blessed to see Len's nephew, Denis growing in the Lord, after returning to Christ nearly two  years ago, following a long period of backsliding.  We'd like to encourage you to read his testimony about his experience, called "The Lord Healed My Backsliding" (see here).

Meanwhile we have introduced the children to Keith Green music, which they have begun listening to and enjoying. They also enjoy singing and worshiping to songs from Cory Asbury, Kim Walker, Misty Edwards, and Philips Craig and Dean.

On Christmas day, we had some new believers over for a delicious turkey dinner, which was very special for all of us.  They have no relationship with family, live a very difficult life in poverty, and were only six days old in the Lord (more on that in a moment).  We led them in some Hungarian worship songs, which really touched their hearts. We'd like to tell you now how we came to know them.

Erzsébet, Jennifer, and Len

Ministry: In December, Gábor was doing some home repair work for a poor lady near his hometown of Tököl, named Erzsébet ("Elizabeth"). She had a melon-sized tumor on the side of her neck, and she welcomed his offer for us to pray for her.  So with Gábor as our interpreter, we visited with her at her home in Halásztelek, and discovered she didn't know the Lord, so Len shared Jesus with her.  During the visit, she was in a lot of pain, which made it difficult for her to talk.  We told her there was help from heaven for her.

She told us that she had a relapse of cancer in January 2012, and the doctor told her she had three months to live.  She began chemotherapy and kept waiting to die, but was wondering why she was not dead after three months.  She receives 90% disability pension per month to live on. And the pills she had to take during the treatment cost nearly two-thirds of her pension on those pills.  So in August she decided to discontinue the treatment. She thanked the doctor and told him that she was going to trust God alone to heal her.

After Len proclaimed the good news of the kingdom, she received it with tears.  We prayed with her to repent and ask Jesus into her heart, and the presence of the Lord was tangible.  She was truly born again, and said she actually felt like she had just been "born all over again."  Afterward we prayed for her to be filled with the Spirit and healed.  Then she said all the pain was gone, and without touching it, she "felt as though the tumor was no longer there!"  She also said she felt like she was "floating."  We told her that's what Life feels like!  Hallelujah!  Several times after that until we left, she kept checking the tumor and saying, "It's getting smaller!" Praise the Lord!  He has done great things!

Erzsébet (mother), Jennifer, and Len

The Lord Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father." (Joh 14:12). He also said, "These signs will accompany those who have believed...they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." (Mar 16:17-18)

Then her mother, also named Erzsébet, wanted to give her life to Jesus, too.  So we prayed with her as well, and she was saved. Then we all rejoiced that these two women had come into the kingdom of God.

As we departed from their home, they were overflowing with expressions of gratitude to the Lord for what He had done in their lives, and to us for our small part as His servants.  This is what we live for, and it is such a pleasure to participate with God in it.  It made our year!

The younger Erzsébet accepted Gábor's invitation to ride to the Rose Garden Baptist church services with him on Sunday, and hopefully she will also be able to participate in the new church being started in his home there in Tököl, as well.  Gábor has been over at her home, teaching her the Word.  And along with his sons David and Bendi, he has been cutting wood to heat her home.

During one of our subsequent visits with her, she said that the first time we visited to share Jesus with her, she had no running water, since her water pump had not been working for 15 hours.  She was unable to get a repairman, who knew how to fix it, to come and get it running.  But immediately following that first visit, after she and her mother gave their lives to Jesus, the water came back on without any repair.  She believes, and so do we, that it was a miracle. Praise the Lord!

Even three weeks later, she continued to report that her tumors seemed to be shrinking a little each day, and the pain is a little less each day.  Please agree with us in prayer for a complete healing.

Erszébet has a twenty-year old son, named István ("Steven"), who does not know the Lord.  On New Years Eve, he held a party, and someone posted something about it on facebook.  It ended up that around five hundred people showed up, including graft elements, and we won't discuss what they did.  Please also pray for his salvation.

Edith, Andrew, Len, and Jennifer

We mentioned previously that Len began to share Jesus with a Hungarian, medical doctor named Endre ("Andrew"), and that he was invited to this man's home for further discussion about it.  In January, we traveled as a family across the country to visit with him and his family  in Szeged (pronounced "SE-ged"), Hungary.

We spent an afternoon with Andrew and his wife Edit ("Edith"), at their lovely estate, along with their two daughters.  He recalled that he had felt an instant friendship with Len from the first moment they met at the airport in England back in November.  It was obviously a divine connection! Later in the day, Len shared the gospel with Andrew, and he surrendered his life to the Lord, inviting Jesus into his heart.  He was marvelously born again, and felt the peace of God in his heart.  This is what he had been searching for.  Praise the Lord!  The Lord answered the powerful, united prayers of all those who prayed for Andrew's salvation, as well as our prayers.  As we concluded our visit, it was a joyful moment with talk of future visits together. Later that evening, Andrew personally shared the Lord with Edith, since she didn't understand clearly what Len was saying, but he told us she is not ready to make a decision for Christ at this time. 

Incidentally, we learned from one of the disciples here that Szeged is the center for darkness for all of Europe.  (This statement is intentionally left vague on this public venue, but it is the "Salem of Hungary." For more clarity you can read Revelation 2:13 and Deuteronomy 18:10).  This quick, "in-and-out" trip felt like we penetrated right behind enemy lines on a hostage rescue mission.  Consequently there is one more, bright light shining in that dark place.  All glory to Jesus! Although we did not have an opportunity to minister healing to Andrew's friend, who is diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer, he did say he would ask her if she would like us to do so. Please pray for Andrew's wife, Edith and their daughters to come to know Jesus.  And pray that they will all grow in Christ.

You may remember Greg, one of Len's disciples here.  During the holiday week in December, he preached to a youth group in the village of Fony, in northern Hungary, near the border of Slovakia.  There are about 125 people in the village and twenty youth.  Of those twenty youth, seven attended the meeting where Greg preached.  It's great to see Greg stepping out and being used by the Lord.

Kriszti and Gábor

Gábor recently preached for the first time in his house church meeting, and he got some good feedback afterward.  The church that has been founded in the his home will be having their first service in a public building on February 24th.  We have been invited to attend. Please pray that this work will be established and result in many disciples for the Lord.

You may recall that Len prayed for Gábor's kidney, where he was having unusual symptoms, so his doctor ordered a CT Scan.  Then the symptoms stopped completely after hands were laid on Gábor for healing.  However, the doctors have given him a bad report, based on the CT Scan done prior to the healing, which is just as we expected would happen.  Len has counseled him to ask for a second image of the kidney, so they can document his healing. This is all presently in progress, so please pray that his healing will be confirmed by the doctors.

Gábor's wife, Kriszti ("Christy") is a hairdresser, and she runs her own business out of their home.  But due to the economy, customers who used to come every two weeks now come every two months.  So it has been very difficult for them, and she is very concerned.  Many others like them have found it difficult to survive here in Hungary. That's why Gábor would like to go to Germany or some other country to find work to support his family, which a lot of people in Eastern Europe are doing these days.

Vilmos

 In Hungary, as a result of the alcoholism during the decades of communism and the emotional damage done by communism itself, there are many alcoholics here. There are also many people who gamble all their money.  For years there has been a hopelessness among the people of Hungary, but it is increasing even more these days.  Gábor told Len that "99% of the men in Hungary cannot say 'I'm sorry.'"  So this leads to family breakdown.  Gábor knows one elder couple in his family, who have been married for 65 years, and now they are about to get divorced.  He recently told the husband that he was a dead man until he came to know Jesus, and he told this man that he, too, is dead until he gives his life to the Lord.  He did not want to hurt this man, but felt the fire in his belly to tell him the truth.  Pray that this man gives his life to Jesus.

Jennifer continues to build relationship and care for Rita, the poor, gypsy lady we mentioned last time.

Len recently met with Vilmos ("William"), one of the elders we have known for four years now at a local church in Budapest. He has been under attack since being appointed as an elder about 18 months ago. The year 2012 was an intensely grueling year for him.  During his recent visit with us, the Holy Spirit brought times of refreshing in the presence of the Lord, and he said it literally felt like he was standing in an ocean or a river. Glory to God!

Resources:  This month we would also like to encourage you to read  a message about "The Eyes of the Lord" (see here); a poem that Charity also wrote about the "Eyes of the Lord" (see here); a message called "Pressing on Toward the Goal" (see here), and a message called "The Evil Nephilim Giants" (see here). You may also be interested in reading "Standing in the Gap" (see here).

Other inspiring, new poems written by our children include "My Anchor" (see here) and Still the Same" (see here).

As always, Len's entire collection of most popular blogs are at "Writing for the Master" (see here).  We welcome your comments on this newsletter, so feel free to leave those below.

In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.

Praise the Lord with us for the many answers to prayer:

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness." (Ps 115:1)

1. For the quality time away that we were able to take without the children.
2. For saving Erzsébet ("Elizabeth") and her mother, healing her, and restoring her running water.
3. For the wonderful time we had with "Elizabeth" and her mother during Christmas.
4. For marvelously saving "Andrew".
5. For restoring Len's nephew Denis and making him a testimony of Jesus' saving power. 
6. For healing Gábor from kidney problems.
7. For using Gábor and Greg to preach His Word.
8. For the open doors of ministry on other continents.

Next steps and prayer needs:

1. For the Lord to reveal Himself to all the non believers in Hungary, whom we have touched, especially Rita the poor, gypsy lady. 
2. For the Lord to anoint us with words and wisdom to witness to Andrew and his family in Szeged.
3. For Erzsébet ("Elizabeth") to be completely healed of cancer, and her son István ("Steven") to be saved.
4. For "Andrew" to grow in his new relationship with Jesus, and for his wife Edith, and daughters to come to Christ also.
5. For the Lord to give us wisdom and direction concerning open doors of short-term ministry outside of Europe.
6. For the Lord to continue using all of us in our personal evangelism work, including the children.
7. For the Lord to continue to multiply disciples through Dávid V. and the others in his church. 
8. For the outpouring of His Holy Spirit here in Diosd to continue to ripple all across Hungary and Eastern Europe.
9. For the Lord to powerfully anoint and help Len as he meets with pastors, elders, and disciples here in Hungary this winter.
10. For our financial blessing.

December Update 2012

Greetings from Hungary!  We’re delighted to give you another update on what the Lord is doing here in Eastern Europe.

Jennifer, Len, and Dennis on Thanksgiving

Family: On Thanksgiving, we had a special guest from Luxembourg, our friend, Dennis Nederveen.  He is a very special brother that we have come to know through our relationship with the church in Belgium, and the revival he and Len both attended in February.  This is now the second time he has met with Len in Hungary, while passing through the city en route to a destination abroad.  We had a couple hours of quality time with him, before we had to take him to the train station for his trip to Slovakia, where he was attending a Teen Challenge leadership conference.  Unfortunately he was not able to stay for the Thanksgiving dinner, but our brief time with him was a real treat and a blessing from the Lord.  We'd like to encourage you to read his amazing testimony of salvation online, called "The Joy I've Come to Know" (see here).

We had another round of colds and flu in November that affected most of us to some extent.  Charity had a bad case of the flu and gave a wonderful testimony to tell about what the Lord did through that trial.  We'd like to encourage you to read her testimony and the poems from that experience at "Verses to the King" (see here).

In December, we took an overnight getaway together without the children for the first time since the fall of 2011.  We found a mature babysitter that we could trust, named Amanda, who is here from Chicago as a short-term missionary, teaching at the local school in our village.  We stayed at a hotel in Budapest, and went for dinner at the Kosher restaurant in the Jewish quarter of the city.  We had a wonderful time together, and the children really enjoyed their time with Amanda. Praise the Lord that we were able to take some time away!

Ministry: Looking back over this year, we can see how the Lord has truly blessed us. He enabled Len to travel to Belgium three times (twice with the family), then to Bulgaria and Romania, as well as twice to England. Some of  the highlights were the youth meetings here in Erd, Hungary (see here),  the Belgium revival (see here), the meetings with the churches in Bulgaria (see here), the meetings with the churches in Romania (see here), seeing David begin to multiply disciples here in Hungary (see here), all the opportunities to share the gospel with people here in Hungary, and obtaining a renewal of our residence permits for three more years! What the Lord has done in, through, and for us this year has been unprecedented and remarkable, and we're very grateful to Him for it.

In the course of time, Len has received a few invitations to minister short-term on other continents outside of Eastern Europe and the Americas. We want to be obedient to the Lord, but need wisdom from Him and direction concerning these long-distance opportunities.  Please pray for us about these open doors!

Last month we mentioned that Len began to share Jesus with a Hungarian, medical doctor named Endre ("Andrew"), and that he was invited to this man's home for further discussion.  We have now made plans to visit with him and his family in Szeged (pronounced "SE-ged"), Hungary.  The visit is scheduled occur before we publish our next newsletter, and if you would like the exact date for the purpose of prayer, just email us for it.  Please pray that the Lord would give us the words, wisdom, and anointing to be His witnesses to this family. And please also pray that we will have an opportunity to minister healing to Andrew's friend, who is diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer.

Kriszti and Gábor

Last month we mentioned a kidney problem Gábor was having that required some diagnostic imaging.  His doctor did find a mass and sent Gábor for additional computer tomography (CT Scan).  After the CT Scan, Gábor received prayer for healing through laying on of hands, and at that time he felt heat go down his legs.  Since then he has not felt anything in his kidney, in other words, he has not experienced any of the symptoms that led to his visit to the doctor.  Praise the Lord! But he plans to go back for medical follow up, since the doctor ordered him to return after he received the results of the diagnostic imaging.  Since the images of his kidney were produced before the healing occurred, the scans will not reflect his current condition, so he will need to explain what happened and request further testing to document his healing.  So we expect by faith to receive a good report from the doctor.

Gábor's wife, Kriszti ("Christy") is a hairdresser, and she runs her own business out of their home.  But due to the economy, customers who used to come every two weeks now come every two months.  So it has been very difficult for them, and she is very concerned.  Many others like them have found it difficult to survive here in Hungary. That's why Gábor would like to go to Germany or some other country to find work to support his family, which a lot of people in Eastern Europe are doing these days.

But recently Kriszti decided to offer an entire day of her services for free.  Anyone who came for haircuts, styling, or treatments received her services free of charge that day. One lady who came was raised as an orphan and her husband had recently been hospitalized.  He had become so stressed out over their financial troubles that he became ill (perhaps with ulcers). They were able to share the Lord with this lady, and later with her husband, as well, after he was released from the hospital. Please pray for Gábor and Kriszti , who are starting a new church in their home in the town of Tököl, Hungary.  Pray that the Lord would bless them financially, so that they could stay together in their home town and start this new church.

Vilmos

Jennifer continues to build relationship and care for Rita, the poor, gypsy lady we mentioned last time. Len recently met with Vilmos ("William"), one of the elders we have known for four years now at a local church in Budapest.  You may remember we've mentioned him in the past.  He is bi-vocational, so due to his busy work and ministry schedule, he has only been able to meet via Skype.  However, his feedback, especially about the last meeting, was very good.  He has been encouraged by the exchange. He is currently praying about next steps in terms of meeting further with Len. 

Resources:  This month we would also like to encourage you to read "Ark of the Covenant Found -- Part 2" (see here) about perhaps the greatest discovery of all time.  Also see "Did Jesus Nail the Law to the Cross?" (see here), "Should You Fear the Lord?" (see here), and "Verses to the King" (see here).

As always, Len's entire collection of most popular blogs are at "Writing for the Master" (see here).  We welcome your comments on this newsletter, so feel free to leave those below.

In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.

Praise the Lord with us for the many answers to prayer:

1. For the quality time away that we were able to take without the children.
2. For healing Gábor from his kidney problem.
3. For the open doors of ministry on other continents.
4. For restoring our health.
5. For the opportunity to share Jesus in Hungary with Andrew the MD and Rita the poor, gypsy lady.

Next steps and prayer needs:

1. For the Lord to reveal Himself to all the non believers in Hungary, whom we have touched, especially Andrew the MD and Rita the poor, gypsy lady. 
2. For the Lord to anoint us with words and wisdom to witness to Andrew and his family in Szeged.
3. For the Lord to give us an opportunity to minister healing and salvation to Andrew's friend with pancreatic cancer. 
4. For the Lord to give us wisdom and direction concerning open doors of short-term ministry outside of Europe.
5. For the Lord to continue using all of us in our personal evangelism work, including the children.
6. For the Lord to continue using Dávid V., Greg and Gábor to reach the lost with the gospel, as well as make disciples.  And for the Lord to enable us to spend some extended time in fellowship and prayer with them in the coming weeks.
7. For the Lord to continue to multiply disciples through Dávid V. and the others in his church. 
8. For the outpouring of His Holy Spirit here in Diosd to continue to ripple all across Hungary and Eastern Europe.
9. For the Lord to powerfully anoint and help Len as he meets with pastors, elders, and disciples here in Hungary this fall.
10. For our financial blessing.  

Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

November Update 2012

Greetings from Hungary!  We’re delighted to give you another update on what the Lord is doing here in Eastern Europe.

Hope celebrating her birthday

Family: In November, we celebrated Hope's twelfth birthday with cake and gifts.  In fact, since Len was away on her actual birthday, we had the opportunity to celebrate it a second time when he returned home.  We also went through a round of head colds and sore throats that made their way through the family, from which Len is still recovering.

The children continue with their home schooling.  At the end of October, we finally received one set of curriculum that we ordered from the States in August, which had been detained in the Hungarian customs office. The children continue to participate in a weekly co-op with other local, home school students.  They are studying Latin and art this semester, and doing very well. 

Faith enjoying birthday cake

Len's toe is showing significant improvement!  Thank you to all who have prayed! If any of you is a physical therapist, who might be able to offer some helpful advice, please let us know. 

Ministry: In October, Len attended a conference in England, where he met many Hungarians, including the pastor and elders of the church where David V is serving.  Unfortunately David himself was not able to go, but Len began to build relationship with the men from his church leadership who attended.  When David's pastor met Len and found out that he was the one who had discipled him, he said, "What you taught him is now being practiced in our church in the youth group." Praise the Lord for this wonderful report!

Len with pastor Peter

Len also met other Hungarian pastors that were there, like Peter (pictured left).  He pioneered a church a couple decades ago, and set in a pastor about eighteen months ago.  Afterward the Lord spoke to him through Psalm 82, which says, "Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute. Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked. They do not know nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken." (Psa 82:3-5).  The Lord told him to go and do this among the gypsies here in Hungary.  Since then he has been going into places like Gyöngyöshalász, a little village in the northeastern part of the country.  He has not yet pioneered a church, but visits about sixteen different families in their homes, and has baptized thirteen new converts to Christ.  He does all of this by traveling for three hours by bus from Budapest, since he no longer has a car. By car it would only be about a seventy minute drive.  Whenever he saw Len during the conference, he was so full of joy and love.  They began to develop a good relationship together at the conference.

Len and Andy Tiplady

At the conference, Len also met many Hungarian Christians, who have emigrated to England. The Lord began to knit more relationships together with them as well.  We don't yet know what all this means, but we believe we will know more in the future, as God unfolds His plan in all of it.

In addition to meeting many Hungarians, Len also met some wonderful English Christians there, including the founder and overseer of the church that hosted the conference, Andy Tiplady (pictured above). Andy felt it was so important for Len to return for another conference being held their in November that he offered to financially sponsor the majority of the travel expenses for Len to return for it.  After praying about it back at home, the Lord indicated to us that He did want Len to go, so off he went, back to England.

Pastor Neville Johnson and Len

The speaker was pastor Neville Johnson, founder of Living Word Foundation and the Academy of Light in Australia.  As it turned out, in hindsight we could see that it was a vitally important conference, and what the Lord did there could not be substituted or accomplished otherwise.  There was a definite, tangible impartation from the Holy Spirit at this historic event, the impact of which will be seen in the exciting days ahead. For the testimony of how the Lord made this connection between Len and Neville, please read "The Burning Ones" (see here).

On the return trip home, Len met a Hungarian medical doctor, named Endre ("Andrew"), and began to share Jesus with him.  He is a General Surgery Consultant, who sat with Len on the plane after they met at the airplane boarding gate, and expressed a sincere interest in knowing the truth about Jesus.  At the end of the flight, he invited Len to visit him in southern Hungary with the whole family after the holidays, so that he can sit and hear the gospel message.  We know this is a divine appointment. Please pray for this important visit with Andrew and his wife, who is an endocrinologist, so that the Lord would enable us to go, and open their hearts to hear the gospel. He also mentioned that they have a friend who is dying with stage-four, pancreatic cancer.  Please pray that the Lord would use us to minister healing and salvation to this friend, as well.

Recently the Lord gave Jennifer an opportunity to reach out to a needy gypsy lady, named Rita.  She lives very close to where Jennifer does her grocery shopping.  In answer to prayer, Jennifer was able to help her, and got to see where she lives at a community house with her four children in a single room the size of our boys' bedroom.  She welcomed Jennifer back in the future, so please pray that this would lead to salvation for Rita and her children.

Len's disciple, Gábor, told Len this week that his kidney has been bothering him, so he went for an ultrasound, which revealed something.  Therefore, the doctors are conducting further testing to determine the problem.  Please join us in praying for Gábor to be healed.

Resources:  This month we would also like to encourage you to read "The Burning Ones" (see here), "The Happy Hunters on Fire" (see here), as well as "Deleted Scriptures in the Bible?" (see here).

As always, Len's entire collection of most popular blogs are at "Writing for the Master" (see here).  We welcome your comments on this newsletter, so feel free to leave those below.

In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.

Praise the Lord with us for the many answers to prayer:

1. For making a way for Len to attend these two conferences in England, and how he led Len to meet Neville Johnson in person.
2. For pastor Peter's ministry among the gypsies in Hungary, and Len's new relationship with him.
3. For the divine connections with Hungarian leaders through this conference in the UK.
4. For restoring our health.
5. For Hope's wonderful birthday celebration.
6. For the opportunity to share Jesus in Hungary with Andrew the MD and Rita the poor, gypsy lady.

Next steps and prayer needs:

1. For the Lord to reveal Himself to all the non believers in Hungary, whom we have touched, especially Andrew the MD and Rita the poor, gypsy lady.
2. For the Lord to continue using all of us in our personal evangelism work, including the children.
3. For the Lord to continue using Len's disciples Dávid V., Greg and Gábor to reach the lost with the gospel, as well as make disciples.  And for the Lord to enable us to spend some extended time in fellowship and prayer with them in the coming weeks.
4. For the Lord to continue to multiply disciples through Dávid V. and the others in his church. 
5. For the Lord to use pastor Péter in his ministry to gypsies in Gyöngyöshalász.
6. For the Lord to heal Gábor.
7. For the Lord to give us an opportunity to minister healing and salvation to Andrew's friend with pancreatic cancer. 
8. For the outpouring of His Holy Spirit here in Diosd to continue to ripple all across Hungary and Eastern Europe.
9. For the Lord to powerfully anoint and help Len as he meets with pastors, elders, and disciples here in Hungary this fall.
10. For our financial blessing.  

Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

October Update 2012

Greetings from Hungary!  We’re delighted to give you another update on the truly exciting things the Lord is doing here in Eastern Europe.

Lacroix Family in Hungary (click to enlarge)

Family: October 15 marked our fourth year anniversary since the day we settled on the mission field here in Hungary.   Praise the Lord for keeping us during that time, and for all the wonderful things He has done!

Over the past several days, we have been having a bout with the gastrointestinal flu.  Two of the girls seem to have contracted a fairly strong case of it at the Immigration Office, and then it began to affect others in the family here.  The Lord has healed each one in answer to prayer. Currently Len is the only one battling this sickness.

In September we attended two weddings.  One was the wedding of Dora, who is the daughter of pastor Sandor or the church in Erd, which we have helped in the past.  The other wedding was Gabor's, one of the men that Len has been discipling.

Dora and András

What made it a challenge was that both weddings were being held at the same time on the same day!  So although we wanted to attend both, we were unable to do so.  After praying about it, we finally decided to attend Dora's wedding ceremony, followed by Gabor's wedding reception.  So we sat up on the third balcony of the Baptist church where Dora and Andras were married, and once the ceremony was almost ended, we quietly left and went to the nearby Rose Garden Baptist church for the reception of Gabor and Kriszti.  When we arrived, the reception had just started, so it was good timing.  We got to meet many of Gabor and Kriszti's relatives and friends, as well as spend time with the wedding couple and others we already know.

Kriszti and Gábor

One of the highlights of the reception was when Gabor shared with us how his oldest son, Dávid S., recently gave his life to the Lord at a summer camp.  Before he attended the camp this summer, Len met Dávid, who is a senior in high school, and the Lord provided an opportunity for Len to plant a seed, by sharing his testimony with Dávid. At the wedding reception, Gabor said that Dávid attended the camp in August, which was conducted by a sister church from America, called Trinity.  When they gave the invitation at the camp, there were no public responses, so the leader assumed nothing happened.  But that day, Dávid made a decision for Christ.  He was truly born again, and his life has been completely changed.  Gabor was so blessed as he told us about this that his eyes filled with tears.  Even though the camp leaders thought nothing happened, God really used that camp to impact Dávid's life for eternity, and he will never be the same. Praise the Lord!!

Len injured his great toe in August, and thought he may have suffered a contusion. He then re-injured it in Romania, so He is still trusting the Lord to heal the sharp pain that still comes and goes.  Please continue to pray with us for his total healing.

Len and Dávid

Ministry: Len received a great testimony from Dávid V., one of his disciples.  You may recall that Len meets with brothers in a small group format for discipleship, called a Life Transformation Group (LTG).  Now Dávid says that he himself is multiplying disciples this way also.  He wrote: "I've started a LTG with two brothers from my youth group. And they love it. I'm in the youth group leadership and we have a vision. It's mainly about making disciples, and we were thinking about it how we could help young people become one. And then God told me that this is the time I should share the LTG [strategy of making disciples]. So I did. And the leaders started one, and now they've started to grow in Chirst and in fellowship. Now we will start LTGs from the youth group as well. My girlfriend started one with two other girls and they enjoy it very much. God is moving in the youth group and also in our church."  Praise the Lord for this wonderful report.  It means that we are finally beginning to see a second generation of disciples emerge from our labor here in Hungary. To God be all the glory!!

Meanwhile Len is planning to attend a conference in the UK.  When Len told the person in the UK who is hosting the conference that he is in Hungary, she gave him the name of a Hungarian church leader, named Aron, who will also be attending.  When Len called Aron, he learned that he is part of the same church where Dávid is serving, and he knows Dávid very well.  He said that the pastor, named Gabor, will also be attending the conference in the UK.  This is an amazing coincidence, since Dávid has been wanting Len to meet his pastor, Gabor.  Now he will be able to meet him during this conference, and spend time together in fellowship.  Please pray for Len as he goes to the UK, so that the Lord will bless him and establish divine connections with people that will open new doors of opportunity in Hungary and elsewhere. 

Ildika (pastor Geza's wife) with Jennifer at wedding

Back at home in Hungary, we've continued conducting evangelism, and prayerfully planning future ministry activity.  We intend to meet further with the church leaders and disciples in this nation in the fall.

A Russian believer, named Denis N, contacted Len through the Internet recently, after reading Len's salvation testimony online.  Denis accepted Jesus Christ few years ago, and as newborn Christian he enjoyed the Holy Spirit, peace, joy and righteousness poured on him very much; but after few months he walked away from God and turned back to worldly things, beginning to sin consciously and willingly. Then he experienced a fierce demonic attack on his spirit causing insanity to the point that he was placed into the mental clinic for treatment! After that treatment, he returned back to his family and has repented, but he still experiences fear that God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ have left him alone, because of his sins, and do not want to touch him.  Spirits of fear and unbelief totally occupied and terrify him now.  Although he is in Russia, we have been reaching out to him. And we ask for you to pray that the Lord will deliver Denis from the demons that now haunt him, and break every curse in his life, bringing him back into sweet fellowship with the Lord.

Now for another exciting praise report!

Administrative Needs: Our immigration visas (known as resident permits) were due to expire in October, so we were required by law to apply for renewal in September.  Their were ten people involved in the visa project with Len, helping to complete an enormous task in record time, even while he was out of the country in Romania during the last part of the project!  Praise the Lord that everything was submitted on time.

We returned to the Immigration Office to receive their decision in mid-October, and we were so delighted to find that they granted renewal of our residence permits for three years!  Praise the Lord! And thanks to those of you who prayed that it would be granted three-year permits.  There is a great open door of ministry for us here, and we are just relieved to have this expensive and time-consuming visa process behind us for a few years now.

Resources:  This month we would also like to encourage you to read "Crying Out to God Loudly" (see here), and "Taking Heaven by Force" (see here), as well as another about the apostle Paul, called "A Man Who Was Caught Up Into Paradise" (see here).

Once again, if you didn't see it last month, don't miss "Testimonies from Voila" (see here), regarding the amazing things the Lord has done in the lives of pastor Linu and Nella! It will surely build your faith.  As always, Len's entire collection of most popular blogs are at "Writing for the Master" (see here).  We welcome your comments on this newsletter, so feel free to leave those below.

In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.

Praise the Lord with us for the many answers to prayer:

1. For the multiplication of disciples in Hungary and the beginning of a second generation.
2. For Gabor's son, Dávid S., coming to know Christ.
3. For all that He has done in and through us during these past four years in Eastern Europe.
4. "May the glory of the LORD be praised in His dwelling place."  (Eze 3:12)
5. For the divine connections with Hungarian leaders through this conference in the UK.
6. For the opportunities to evangelize the lost here in Hungary and the hunger of some for the good news.
7. For granting us three-year residence permits, so that we can continue serving Him here in Hungary.

Next steps and prayer needs:

1. For the Lord to reveal Himself to all the non believers in Budapest whom we have touched.
2. For the Lord to continue using all of us in our personal evangelism work, including the children.
3. For the Lord to continue using Len's disciples Dávid V., Greg and Gábor to reach the lost with the gospel, as well as make disciples.  And for the Lord to enable us to spend some extended time in fellowship and prayer with them this fall.
4. For the Lord to continue to multiply disciples through Dávid V. and the others in his church. 
5. For the Lord to deliver and Denis N. in Russia, bringing peace and joy back into his heart.
6. For the Lord to heal Len from the gastrointestinal virus, as well as his injured left toe.
7. For the outpouring of His Holy Spirit here in Diosd to continue to ripple all across Hungary and Eastern Europe.
8. For the Lord to powerfully anoint and help Len as he meets with pastors, elders, and disciples here in Hungary this fall.
9. For our financial blessing.

September Update 2012

Greetings from Hungary!  We’re delighted to give you another update on the truly exciting things the Lord is doing here in Eastern Europe.

Faith celebrates her 10th birthday

Family: In August we celebrated Faith's tenth birthday.   We had a birthday party at home and then went to an indoor amusement park together and had lots of fun.  After she finished opening all her gifts and cards, Faith distributed hand-made thank you cards of her own to everyone at the party with a personal note of thanks to each of us.  This is a just an example of the sweet and grateful nature that the Lord has put inside her heart. We've got photos of that event in a separate album, if you want to see all the action play-by-play (see here).  Otherwise, you can find some of our favorite shots from that day in the "more photo" section below.

Len injured his great toe last month, and thought he may have broken it. Since then he has re-injured it and his right great toe as well.  He is trusting the Lord to heal the pain and other symptoms.  Please continue to pray with us for his total healing.

Len with pastor Linu and Nella in Voila, Romania

Ministry: Len traveled to Romania in August and September on invitation from a pastor he knows there. He was in the region north of Bucharest, where he ministered to several pastors and two congregations, preaching the full gospel of Jesus Christ.

Len stayed at the home of pastor Mihail, director of the S.O.S radio station in Ploiesti, Romania.  The signal reaches just beyond Bucharest, which is 40 miles away.  He is a former communist now running this station on the property where he lives.  The S.O.S studios are in the same first floor of his house.

God did amazing things on this trip -- much more than we have space for in this update. One of the highlights was spending three days at the gypsy church in Voila with pastor Linu and his wife Nella (pictured above).  On the first day in Voila, Len was with the two of them personally getting acquainted, encouraging them and praying with them. They have suffered a lot in the past several years as the devil has tried unsuccessfully to destroy this church.  Two of his nine children and two of his grandchildren died tragic deaths.  However, through prayer alone and without medical intervention, he raised from the dead his two grandchildren, Reuben and Sara.  Their mother is his daughter, and in a separate incident, she had incurred fourth and fifth degree burns on 75% of her body!  The doctors told her she would not live, and when pastor Linu prayed for her, she was miraculously healed.  She stood and held her opened hands up, which had moments earlier been clenched tightly into fists from the burns.  The doctors witnessed the miracle.  Len met the two children and their mother, who showed her burn scars to prove it.  She has since given her life to Jesus and dedicated her children to the Lord.

When the above photo was taken of Len with pastor Linu and Nella, they stood in front of the horse stable that had once collapsed in the valley below.  After the picture was taken, Nella said that three or four weeks ago she had a dream in which a man came and encouraged them.  She said that when Len put his arm around pastor Linu for the snapshot, she remembered the dream and realized it had been fulfilled.  There is so much more to their testimony that will surely encourage you, which we cannot include here. So we encourage you to read about it in the exciting "Testimonies from Voila" (see here).

Voila Gypsy Church. Man healed of lump beside Linu (right)

On the second and third day in Voila, Len ministered to the entire gypsy church there.  It's a small congregation of around 23 members.  But pastor Linu said there are 80 youths in this church, most of whom were not present at the meetings on those nights! Len preached the gospel, taught them, and led them to turn to the Lord their God with all their hearts and with all their souls. The Lord confirmed the truth of His Word through works of power.  They brought many sick people to Len to be healed, including little children, and the Lord lovingly touched them.  One man, named Nicolae (pictured above on far right beside pastor Linu), had a lump in his throat that had been there for an unspecified period.  When Len laid hands on him in the name of Jesus, the lump dissolved, the pain disappeared, and Nicolae was finally able to swallow normally once again.  Praise the Lord!

Other sick people also said their pain went away through prayer in Jesus Name. Still others tangibly experienced the fire of the Holy Spirit when Len placed his hands over them and imparted it. They experienced various manifestations, such as the following: One man felt the power of God going through him from his feet all the way up through is body.  Some felt the presence of the Lord, others felt peace.  Some felt the Holy Spirit searching them from head to toe, while most of them felt a literal heat or warmth in their bodies, particularly their hands.  Some trembled, and others said they "felt much better" afterward.

Pastor Linu's wife, Nella, testified at the beginning of the service on the second night that on the first night she saw bright light going from person to person while Len was praying for people.  She felt peace and love. When Len was departing at the end of the second night, he received many customary, holy kisses on the cheeks from the men.  Pastor Linu invited Len to come back again.

Len with pastor Marian after live prayer program at S.O.S

Len also visited the S.O.S church in Ploiesti and ministered to pastor Marian there (pictured left), who is a true man of God, as well as one of his disciples named Stefan.  Stefan experienced the holy fire all over his body especially in his heart and mind. He felt raised, and had overflowing joy like a fountain, so that he began rejoicing in the Lord.  Pastor Marian had a lot of joy on his face and was praising God as he received a supernatural refreshing from the Lord.

He invited Len to greet the congregation on Sunday, and to join him for his live radio programs during the week, which he did.  One of the programs was a teaching on financial stewardship and the other was a live, call-in prayer line from 10:30 PM until midnight.  There were many calls and text messages to the program that night, completely filling up the entire program with unceasing prayer.  Some people specifically requested prayer from Len.  One of those was someone who called with a prayer request for pastor Linu, who had an accident with a horse following Len's meetings in Voila.  He is thankful to survive the accident, but sustained injuries to his head foot, and a dislocated hip.  Please join us in praying for pastor Linu's complete healing.

Pastor George & Len after the meeting at Immanuel Church

Len also accepted an invitation to minister to Immanuel Church in Ploiesti, Romania.  He first spent time getting to know pastor George there, and then preached the Word of God to them.  Afterward the congregation turned to the Lord with all their hearts as the Voila church had previously done.  Then Len ministered to those who wanted the purifying, purging fire of the Holy Spirit, including pastor George.  The Lord was faithful to do what He promised, confirming His Word through signs and wonders!  Their experiences were mostly like those in the Voila church, plus some additional manifestations that were different.  Len's translator, named Nik, is a Romanian missionary to another country in this region that we cannot mention for security reasons.  He experienced a "fresh anointing" from the Holy Spirit.  Someone else experienced "something like a quiet time" in his spirit.  One lady wept.  Another man was completely overwhelmed by the glory of God.  It was an absolutely wonderful evening together with those saints! Everything the Lord did was good.  Praise Him!

As with the things the Lord did in Bulgaria in May, all that happened on this August-September trip to Romania was an overflow of what God is doing in our hearts and home in Hungary.  “But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.” (Jn 3:21) Jennifer and the children were an integral part of all that happened, as they faithfully prayed for Len back at home while he was in Romania.  And they rejoiced together with him, praising the Lord, as he called them with updates throughout the trip.  All of you who prayed or gave were also a part of it!  Thank you so much for that, and praise the Lord for the great things He has done!  These lives will never be the same.

In addition to the link to more family photos above, if you would like to see more photos of the people Len ministered to in Romania, please see the link below for an album with captioned photos:

Romania Trip Photos

Back at home in Hungary, we've continued conducting evangelism, and prayerfully planning future ministry activity.  We intend to meet further with the church leaders in this nation in the fall.

Gábor, one of Len's disciples, is hosting a house group meeting in his home each week in the little town of Tököl, which will soon become a church plant.  We mentioned last month that Gábor invited Len to come and encourage the believers there, which he did.  Afterward he received good feedback from pastor Géza that it was edifying.

Administrative Needs: Our immigration visas (known as resident permits) are due to expire in October, so we're required by law to apply for renewal in September.  Their were ten people involved in the visa project with Len, helping to complete an enormous task in record time, even while he was out of the country in Romania during the last part of the project!  Praise the Lord that everything was submitted on time.

We will return to the Immigration Office to receive their decision in mid-October.  Now let's pray that we will be granted renewal of our residence permits for three years.  After we finished submitting all our documents, which took two hours, Len asked the immigration official about the prospects of being approved for a three-year residence permit.  She seemed to think it would most likely be granted.  Please pray that it will indeed be granted, since there is a great open door of ministry for us here, and the visa process is both expensive and time consuming.

Resources:  This month we would also like to encourage you to read "Avoid Becoming a Corrupted Christian" (see here), written lovingly to make sure none of you misses God's highest reward for you, as well as "Discerning the Things of the Spirit" (see here) and Supernatural Power for All Disciples (see here).

Once again, don't miss "Testimonies from Voila" (see here), regarding the amazing things the Lord has done in the lives of pastor Linu and Nella! It will surely build your faith.  As always, Len's entire collection of most popular blogs are at "Writing for the Master" (see here).  We welcome your comments on this newsletter, so feel free to leave those below.

In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.

Praise the Lord with us for the many answers to prayer:

1. Praise the name of the LORD!  For Your name alone is exalted; Your glory is above earth and heaven.  (Psa 148:13)
2. For the times of refreshing in His presence in Romania, and the people the Lord healed there.
3. Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations (Rev 15:3)

5. "May the glory of the LORD be praised in His dwelling place."  (Eze 3:12)
6. For those who turned to the Lord with all their hearts and souls in Romania.

8. For the opportunities to evangelize the lost here in Hungary and the hunger of some for the good news.
9. For our great progress thus far on the residence permit visa applications and the positive outlook.
10. For the wonderful birthday celebrations with Faith.

3. For the Lord to continue using all of us in our personal evangelism work, including the children.
4. For the Lord to continue using Len's disciples David, Greg and Gábor to reach the lost with the gospel, as well as make disciples.  And for the Lord to enable us to spend some extended time in fellowship and prayer with them this fall.
5. For the Lord to heal Len's injured toes and feet, as well as any sort of misalignment in his back that may be causing the neuropathy in his legs and foot .
6. For the outpouring of His Holy Spirit here in Diosd to continue to ripple all across Hungary and Eastern Europe.
7. For the Lord to prepare hearts in this region to experience revival and receive a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit and fire.
8. For the Lord to powerfully anoint and help Len as he meets with pastors, elders, and disciples here in Hungary this fall.
9. For our financial blessing.  
10. For the Lord to grant us three-year residence permits in October to continue serving Him in Hungary.
