Updates

Thank you all so much for your prayers and encouraging emails. Here is what we know right now. Lydia and their middle daughter are still in Budapest. She has been diagnosed with epilepsy and they are currently trying to get her medicine regulated to stop her seizures. We have talked to her several times this week and she still sounds like her chirpy little self. She had a seizure while I was talking to her on the phone this week and when it was over, I was crying and she said, “Don’t cry Aunt Emily, I’m okay.” She’s a tough little girl. Please continue to pray for the Stevensons. We aren’t sure how much longer they are going to stay in Budapest. Pray that they would be able to sleep at night and be rested in the mornings. Please pray that her medicine would start to work and that she and Lydia could come home soon. Thank you for all your prayers!

Kevin’s Granddad
Many of you have been praying for my Granddad. He had lung cancer and it spread to his brain and other parts of his body. We got a phone call from my dad on Sunday telling us that Granddad had past away early that morning. It is hard to be away from our family in this time. We would like to thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for our family as we are going through this hard time.

Dear Prayer Partners,

We have an urgent request for prayer for our team. Our supervisors’, Sean and Lydia Stevenson, middle daughter needs your prayer. She has been having episodes where she spaces out. They have become more and more frequent each day. They went to Warsaw today to have her tested and the doctors think she may have epilepsy. Please pray for her. She is 7 years old. Pray that God would give Sean and Lydia peace and that they would be able to rest at night. Please pray that God would show the doctors what is wrong and what to do. Pray that her little body would be healed. Thank you so much for all your prayers. We will keep you updated as we learn more! Kevin and Emily

English Club

Our discussions at English Club have been really great lately. We have been talking about the church and its function and sharing "our stories" of who we are and how we became who we are. Tonight one of the women in our group said that she had met people before who said they were Christians but didn't do what they said they believed during the week. She said that when she met us, she saw that we did the things we said we believed in and that we were different. What an awesome responsibilty we have here. It's so important that what you believe in your heart and head shows through you actions. It touches people more than we know! Lord, please make us more like You!
