Our Email Update - January

Dear Friends:

Next week we hit the road for our family's first 3-month road trip!! Hungarians love the idea of Route 66 and the open road (or so I keep trying to tell Zsofi!), and who am I to stand in the way of our daughters' yet undreamt dreams?! :-)

We will be visiting supporters and supporting churches in Texas and the Midwest, and in the midst of all our travels, I will also continue pounding down the coffee while taking more classes at Wheaton. It will be a crazy but wonderful time, and we are looking forward to connecting with you at some point during the HungaryWilsons' North American tour.

Here is our itinerary for the next two months:

2/1 - 2/14: Spring Branch, TX

2/15 - 2/28: San Antonio, TX

3/1 - 3/14: Wheaton, IL

3/15 - 4/4: Des Moines, IA*

4/5 - 4/17: Wheaton, IL

Viki's Experience on Alpha

In closing, we wanted to share with you something that really touched our hearts. Before the end of each Alpha Course, we ask the guests to fill out a short feedback form concerning things they liked about the course as well as ways we can improve it. Responding to the question, "What effect has Alpha had on your life?", one of the young mothers on our most recent course wrote:

"Finally I understood who Jesus was and this changed my life. Until now I thought I was a Christian, but in reality I wasn't. I went to church and hoped that there was a God because many smart people told me so, but deep down in my heart I did not believe. Through the Alpha course--the excellent teaching and the wonderful people--now I truly know that there is a God and that He loves me."

Thank you for all your prayers and support. Through it, you are impacting people's lives!

With our love,

John & Zsofi
