Joseph's trip

The
last two months were filled with some memorable events that I want to share
with you. In September, I spent some days in Transylvania, where I had the
privilege of speaking on several occasions. Interestingly enough, the largest
Hungarian Baptist church is not in Hungary itself but in Romania, actually in
my town of birth, Nagyvarad, that you can find on your map by its Romanian
name, Oradea. I spent there eight months during the time when we worked on the
revision of the Hungarian Karoli Bible and from time to time I am glad to go
back to see my dear friends there and have fellowship with them and preach in
their churches. These trips are very precious to me including the most recent one
in last September. One of my dearest friends there is an 89 year old pastor who
recently published a book and I had the privilege to write a preface to it. The
time that I am spending there seems to flow very quickly as we go from one
meeting to the other and in between we exchange our thoughts and share our
experiences. Doing all these in Hungary is one thing but going to my birthplace
of Transylvania, where my ancestors are coming from is always a unique
experience.
