- Please pray for funding for John’s Ph.D. class in February, 2012. This will involve flying to the U.S. for a week to take the intensive portion of the class.
- Pray for the funding and planning for renovating the new building which our field has purchased for church and office space. The sooner this project is completed, the sooner we can move out of the rented property we are currently using.
- Pray for the upcoming meetings in Hungary in December of OMS leaders from all over Europe. They will be reviewing OMS’s new ministry strategy for Europe which was begun in the spring of 2011 with meetings in Spain. Pray for wisdom as we continue to look for ways to communicate the Gospel to more people in Hungary and in Europe.
- Because of the field’s financial deficit we are in danger of not being able to hold English camp next summer for the first time in 18 years. Please pray that we will be able to raise what we need to pay this deficit off and to raise support for next year’s camp, which is one of our most effective outreach tools for Hungarian young people.

Answers to Prayer:
- John was able to take a class in the summer as he slowly works towards a Ph.D. in Theology and Apologetics at Liberty University. We believe this program will be very significant in helping John to develop an apologetics ministry here in Hungary that will help present reasonable answers to the many questions of skeptics in this highly secular area of the world.
- Jonathan has made a very good adjustment to Hungarian pre-school. He enjoys going, he likes his teachers and other classmates, and is starting to pick up some Hungarian. We are so thankful that the Lord led us to a good local pre-school and that Jonathan’s adjustment has gone so well.
- A young woman from our youth group recently gave her life to the Lord. We are also seeing several young people make encouraging steps in their spiritual lives. We praise God for his work among the youth of Hungary!
John & Tricia: You visited our church, Open Arms Christian Church, Galion OH a few years back. I wanted you to know we list missionaries each month to pray for regarding any needs you may have as well as learn more about the fields they serve. The Fraser family is our missionary family for the month of February. I am going to share your blog with the congregation and my Sunday School class. We will continue to pray concerning John’s flight to Liberty University as well as the English camp and the deficit that is being experienced.
Hopefully, we can keep in touch. God bless and we are excited Hannah has asked Jesus into her life.
