Whew...

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind in the Long household. Now that the dust has settled a bit, we wanted to take a few minutes to update you on the comings and goings of the last month or so.
In July, the team in Hungary held their annual Summer English Camps, which were a great success! We were not able to take such an active role this summer in camp due to Jonathan's last few weeks of school classes. We were happy to host some of the camp volunteers in our home, to show them around Budapest and to treat them to a few meals along the way. They were happy to report that some of the young students indicated they accepted Christ for the very first time at camp! Yay, God!!

Toward the end of July, Jonathan successfully completed his MBA program at Central European University. He was very sad to say goodbye to all of the wonderful classmates he had the opportunity to study with. Most difficult for us, was saying goodbye to our good friend Maka who attended church during the year with the OMS congregation. Please pray for Maka as she settles back in her home in Kazakhstan.

Following graduation, our family was quite busy preparing for our return to the USA for furlough. On August 8th, we arrived safe, sound and considerably tired in Indianapolis, Indiana. We will be based out of the Indianapolis area for the next several months as we spend time looking to the future and seeking God's direction in our ministry. We have begun even in this first week to seek out the medical attention that Grant was needing regarding his developmental needs and are pleased to finally have some direction in that area.

We are excited to see what God holds for our family in the next few weeks and months, and look forward to sharing with you what He is doing in the life of the Long family. Would you remember us in prayer during this time? Pray for God's direction, guidance and provision. Pray also for Grant's development and health. Pray for Carter's transition as he must begin kindergarten in a new town. Pray for the youth in Hungary that we are missing so much and for the ministry that is taking place there in our absence.

God Bless,
Corinne & Jonathan
