Mission Partnership to Szeged, Hungary
with Hope Church, Richmond
An ordinary greenhouse is becoming a mission center for the community of Szőreg-Szeged.
We had a special week back in our previous hometown of Szeged,
partnering with Béla (above), Bea, and Regina Mihalecz on their farm, helping
convert their greenhouse into a church building. Hope Church, Richmond,
VA sent 4 great workers - Wesley, David, Jay, and Jeff (above left to right) - to support the
church construction. We saw God move among us, including a
neighborhood outreach event during the week. We also spoke at a Szeged
Zion Church service, met Cornerstone Church leaders, and visited the
Christian mayor in the village of Kübekhá
za. At the end of the week, we had ministry friend, Laki, and his family come up from Serbia and join us on the farm.
A special thanks to Wesley Mullins and Sarah George for capturing many special memories by taking wonderful pictures!

| Thumbs up for the good workers! |
  |
| Not all bricks were perfectly shaped, but we found places for almost 2000 of them under Béla's direction! |
 |
| Between the bull horn and the neighbor's rooster, no one slept late! |
 |
| The wall is more than half built and the windows are in! |
 |
| Donna and Hannah were a big help to Bea - lots of cooking and food prep! |
