First time Alpha ESOL in Hungary

I wanted to give you a little update on the Alpha ESOL course John and I are part of. The course has been going really well, with 70 attendees at the beginning and 50-40 who became regular participants. This is a pretty large group for an Alpha course. We have a nice group of leaders (host in the Alpha vocabulary) and it has been fun to meet with them every week to prepare. Since the city, where the course takes place, is a little bit over an hour away from where we live, Alpha also has enabled me and John to have some nice car dates. :-)

The course is a blessing to me. I have grown to really like the people who are in my discussion group and the team we are working with. We are still just half way through the course but I am sure it will be hard to say good-bye at the end. I am hoping so much that those who are just getting to know Christianity through the course will have a very positive experience and will take their firsts steps in their journey with Christ. Thank you all who have been praying for us and the course. It definitely feels like we have God's blessing over us and we are very thankful for the fruits we have already seen and full of anticipation for what is still ahead.

The Alpha course this Tuesday evening.
