Philippians 4:10-20

Twenty Years of Partnership

For the past few months, our home church in Budapest has been walking through the book of Philippians, and recently we landed near the end of the letter, in chapter four, verses ten through twenty. It’s a passage about how unique the Philippian church was. They didn’t just send Paul off with well wishes, they partnered with him, specifically through financial giving, again and again.

As we read through it, we couldn’t help but think of our own home church, Kilcona, and how they’ve done exactly that for us since the very beginning. This year marks twenty years for us in overseas missions, and that kind of partnership has been there from day one.

We had the chance to share a little about this at our home church this past Sunday, along with some updates on what we’ve been up to this past year. If you’d like to watch, we’d love for you to take a look at what’s been stirring in our hearts from this passage.

A good day

While Ben was BBQing some hamburgers, he decided to do a little video.

Winter Classic Pep Band

All throughout the two days of winter classic, Kai was a part of the Pep band. He plays Tenor Sax which is a larger saxophone than most. It adds depth to any band and it takes a lot of strength to play (both physically and lung power!) We were so proud of him and really enjoyed the pep band all weekend – it really wouldn’t be the same kind of weekend without the band!

Jay plays in his first Winter Classic 2026

Jay made the varsity team this year. This is a pretty big deal since he is only a sophomore (grade 10) but an even bigger deal is all the playing time he got at Winter Classic. This is a tournament that our school hosts every year and invites schools from Austria, Croatia, Turkey, Albania and a few other countries. It is a really fun time with lots of external things like dance teams, pep band, American candy, food trucks, social events and more! But of course the basketball is the highlight, and our girls team took 2nd place and our boys team took 1st! These parents are so proud!

A young German’s missionary calling

Nadja is a young, beautiful woman of the Lord who desires to see Germans discipled in God’s word. I taught in her pioneering School of Biblical Studies and asked her to share with me a tiny bit of her motivation for running this school.

It was an idea one day during worship

We were back in Canada and as I was singing some songs to Jesus, this idea popped in my head. How could I introduce people at home to the people we minister to? We always try a variety of methods to communicate, but this would be something a little bit different. Instead of long video updates, I would interview people that I teach with just a couple of questions. Keep the videos under 2-3 minutes, and let those who send us meet those we work with. So this was my first attempt. I still need to buy a tripod (my phone is balanced on a table) to hopefully get the angle and quality a little better, but still, this is start.

Enjoy!
Ps. If you like this and would like to see more of them, you can subscribe to the playlist on youtube, or subscribe to this blog (on the right) and I will be posting them here. :)

Kai loves Pi Day!

Pi is 3.14 which makes March 14th pi day.

Kai had the idea to take 200 digits after 3.14 and give each number a music note (for example 1 is A 2 is B etc.) then he transposed them on a music sheet and had his piano teacher play them (it was a bit complex for him). We thought this was a really fun idea! Similar to many people who have taken the constants of the universe that God made and made them into art (an interesting book about this is Nancy Pearceyโ€™s book called Saving Leonardo). Here is the music it made.

Loved sharing about last year!

Thank you to everyone who came to hear about our year of transition from a war zone to Budapest. If you couldnโ€™t be there, we hope you will take some time to watch the video below. You can even speed it up and listen while you are doing dishes ๐Ÿ™‚ That is our favorite way to enjoy a podcast.

We made it!

Thank you to everyone who prayed! It really meant a lot. Ben arrived today back from India at lunch time safe and sound. The kids were thrilled to get home from school and be welcomed with a big hug from Dad! It is amazing how much we all missed him. We just snuggled on the couch together for awhile… enjoying just being together.

Cassie made this video to tell her Dad all about the three weeks he was gone.

She would love a word of encouragement if you have time to watch it and leave a comment.

It will show you a few glimpses of our family life if you are interested.
