Thank God for Easter and Spring ...
Easter Sunday was probably the 'coldest' and 'hottest' we've ever had in March. Coldest, as we sat on wooden pews in 6-7c in an Ancient Lutheran Church near the Balaton (see below). Then warmest as we enjoyed lunch outside at Zsófi's parents' house in 21c at Zsófi's. What was great, was that in the cold and the warm we could remember again the greatest event ever in human history and be warmed and encouraged spiritually.
Thanks as always for your prayers and support ...

Praise God for …
- Good break over Easter ... it was an enjoyable break from school and work, although slightly frustrating with Hungarian builders not turning up when we'd booked days off work!!
- Acorncamps: Great meeting with Sarvas Lutheran Church & Székesfehérvár Reformed Church and two new camps for the summer.
Blessed weekend camp with Vác Baptist church and day trip with Nagybajom Reformed church. Both events saw many more teenagers than expected and whilst we seemed to find obstacles in our way (including family illnesses!!) we managed to get there - well just Andy & Réka.
Please pray for …
- Health ... Please pray for Zsófi who is in hospital for a minor opp on Tues 5th April.
Whether it's the sun, or the medicine?? it certainly seems Andy has a little more energy and chirpyness. - Life being busy ... It seems that work, life, school are all keeping us busy - mainly in good ways, but it's always a prayer point that we are wise with out time, and don't take on more than we can bear.
- Acorncamps events & work ...
9th English Youth Day @ Farnad (Slovakia) Lutheran Church.
18th Trustee Meeting (UK) (AO in UK 16th- 26th)
22-23rd Camp planning Weekend (Sheffield) Day for all team coming to Hungary in summer. (Zsófi & Emily coming to UK 21st - 26th)
Pray also as we seek to both improve the financial systems of Acorncamps and look into setting up as a registered charity (foundation) in Hungary - Tax & NI issues ... It's quite frustrating (and very time consuming) that we still have not being able to resolve the Tax & NI issues between the two countries. Pray for wisdom, patience and proper advice and answers
Peeking into May 2016 ...
