Last year at this time, we were sitting in our living room, browsing emails, when an instant message popped up on the screen from a young woman on an 11-month missions adventure. To make a long story short, we welcomed 7 strangers into our home that day. And that one day ended up turning into 14 days. Some people said we were crazy. Where did 7 people sleep in our little flat? Some people said "you must be exhausted" having guests for so long. Some people thought we were giving too much and getting too little.
One of the many things I've learned this past year: we may have entertained angels unawares. (Hebrews 13:2) God allows strangers to enter our lives. Our job is to show His love. Is it a sacrifice? Perhaps. Is it easy? Not always. Is it convenient? Rarely. Were we blessed to have 7 people stay in our home? Undoubtedly. God pours blessing into our lives as abundantly as we have given.
This week, we received a call from some new strangers on a similar mission....lunch anyone?

And what a blessing you were! I can't believe it's been a year since we've been in Hungary....
Thanks so much for opening your home to 7 strangers and then opening it once again for the rest of their team! You're truly a blessing in our lives and we thank God for that! Hope all is well!
Prayers and Blessings,
