Today an article featuring myself was in the Welland Tribune. Thank you to the Tribune for allowing me to have the privilege of being in the newspaper.
The only problem I have with the article is its initial focus is about how "salary is coming out of your own pocket" and that I am one of "several self-paid missionaries" at the school. Yes, I may have to contribute some of my own living expenses, but I think that the emphasize could have been better put on the fact that I am being supported by donations. I guess I could have done a better job in the interview saying this. I guess this is the way the world sees what we are doing as missionaries.
The one thing I am learning for all of this is that I should be more giving myself. I am are sure that when I return to NA from this missionary adventure that I will be much more willing to help others.
Overall though, the report will be good for the community to see what I am doing and how I am following God's call.

Welcome to the grand adventure
This summer I am going to be embarking on one of the most exciting adventures of my life. I am going to Hungary to work in the library at International Christian School of Budapest. I am going to keep in touch using this blog, but before I can go to Hungary I am required to raise my own salary. Currently, I am in the process of raising the funds that I need. I am doing this through the Christian Reformed World Missions.
By going to Hungary I will be providing the school which much needed help in the library. Keep reading my posts as I have time to write to so that you too can join in this adventure.
