Luke 10 Exploration Trip: East Europe Stories

The following are stories and updates shared by the Luke 10 Team during their time in Eastern Europe!

Trip Update #1: June 18

Here is our whole team after we joined Tony in Tolna, Hungary.

This is a picture when we met with the Friends Church Wednesday night Bible study group in Tolna.

This is a picture of Budapest at night where Tony, Stan, and Vivian prayed over the city while waiting for Jonelle and Fred’s plane to arrive.

The team is with Joseph in Kolked at the Gypsy Mission Center.

This is a picture of Zombor, Serbia where we had a prayer walk.

This is the convent where a couple of us had a conversation with a nun about the needs their church saw in Osijek, Croatia.

This is the boat we ate lunch at in Osijek, Croatia. While we waited for our food, a local woman offered us two peaches from her garden for the baby. We felt like this was part of a pattern of “man of peace” encounters in this city.

Trip Update #2: June 23

We went to Vucovar, Croatia on Sunday and had a church service with some members of the Friends Church from Tolna, Hungary. We went to the park and Stan shared a message while some of the church people translated. We had a family join us in Vucovar that we had met during our prayer walk the day before which was encouraging! On Monday, we went to see the Hero Square with monuments to former kings and prime ministers of Hungary and spent time eating, talking, and worshipping together at Tony’s daughter Betti’s house.
