Personal Testimony:

I grew up in a Christian home where I heard the Gospel daily. I was six when I accepted Christ as my Savior fully trusting in His sacrifice alone for my salvation. When I was fourteen, I spent some time questioning why I believed what I believed. It was during that time that I knew God was directing my life towards full time ministry. During my second year of college, I visited Hungary for a short-term mission trip. The ministry opportunities seemed endless! I wanted to go back! After serving a year and a half at Word of Life Headquarters, I traveled to Word of Life Hungary for a year and a half. During that year and a half, God continually confirmed to me that this was where He wanted me to serve Him full time. I’m so excited to spend my life living and serving God in Hungary!

 Word of Life Hungary:

Word of Life Hungary began in 1989 when Word of Life first signed a 10 year lease with the then communist government for the camp property in Tóalmás. In 1990, the ministry began in earnest, as the first season of youth and children’s summer camp began. Since then, Word of Life Hungary has expanded to include a 2 year Bible Institute program that usually has an enrollment of 50 students each year. In addition, we have an active Children’s Ministry that travels the country sharing the Gospel through puppet presentations. We also have Bible Clubs that operates in churches across Hungary. The fourth area of ministry at Word of Life is a Conference and Retreat Program which provides Christian Conferences throughout the year hosted at our Bible Institute property. The Word of Life story is a work in progress, but it is a story that was not written by chance. God has made all of these wonderful things possible, for it is really, in the final outcome, “His story”!      

 Ministry Responsibilities:

 At Word of Life Hungary, I serve in a variety of different positions. My main responsibility is to act as the Administrative Assistant to the Director of Word of Life Hungary. In addition, I also serve as the Costume Coordinator to our drama team in the Bible Institute traveling to different areas of Hungary as well as neighboring countries sharing the Gospel. I get the opportunity to sing in Christian Conferences and lead the worship music in chapel services hosted at our Bible Institute. Another area of ministry I’m involved in discipling young girls at our Bible Institute to grow in their relationships with the Lord. Every aspect of the ministry God has given me has been an answer to prayer and a privilege for me!
