This is the 3rd update I write about Story of the Soul (SOTS, or nowadays SOS). When I last worte, I explained how it is becoming an outreach that is becoming very effective and many ministries in many nations are begginning to have an interest in it.
Ever since the debut of the first SOS Training CD I helped put together, it has gone around the world. From India to the city of Cambridge, England, ministries in over 15 countries are starting to use it. It seems to be extremely effective, and its use of the many forms of arts through media to address spiritual issues, and to present the Gospel, makes it farily easy even for university students to plan and use. It is also highly customizable for each culture.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the Campus team of Romania with some of the volunteer students were trained to hold a SOS evening. They got so excited, that 2 days later they held one and over 40 students came!
Dave Robinson has just recently been in Cambridge, training a group of believers in SOS.
The amazing success of this outreach called for an update of the training CD. Now, it has more materials, more training and a nicer look. ☺ Check out the disc cover image.
We just finished printing over 60 CDs and they were handed out at the National Directors Conference.
Please continue to pray for SOS!

Our Future
My fiancé, Julcsi and I have been thinking about our future in the ministry ever since we started talking about marriage. When she and I first talked about this, it did not come as a big surprise - since we both have had a relationship and involvement with Crusade and a growing love and interest for what they do on the campuses - that the first and most natural thing for us to ask was: Would God want to see both of us full time with Campus Crusade or not?
After having been given an offer by Campus Crusade Eastern European Director of Affairs, Larry Thompson to join CCC through their Hungarian ministry, we decided to have several conversations with other leaders and staff. Also, about half of my support still came from the JESUS Film Project, and as of the end of the summer, they decided to stop supporting me, because they thought they did not need me part-time anymore. We decided to take steps to learning more about going on staff with CCC Hungary.
For me to be able to continue to serve with the Multimedia team of CCC long term, we have to go through "basic training", just like in the military. That is, spend a year or two with the Campus ministry of CCC Hungary, meeting students, evangelizing and discipling them. Thus, as of the fall of 2006, Julcsi and I will join CCC Hungary. I will be there for one year, for the basic training and then be transferred back to the Area office. Julcsi will stay with the Campus ministry after our training. Of course this is a plan, and Lord willing will be fulfilled, but we want nothing more than we want the will of God for our lives. Please pray with us on this journey. It is likely that we will be going to the US next summer to raise support and will most likely be in the Indiana State area. We will continue to update you on these things.
We appreciate your all your prayers on our behalf!
