Józsué & Sári Dan

Both my wife (Sári) and I (Józsué) were born and raised in Hungary, an Eastern European former Soviet Bloc country. After getting married on August 9, 2014, we found ourselves in a situation where we could not actively serve in a local church, or at least that's what we thought, as a young couple. We prayed that God might change something, maybe a new work schedule, so we could find and serve a local church in the new area where we moved after our wedding.

God answered our prayer in a surprising way as the door of opportunity opened for us to come to the United States to further my (Józsué) theological education. We moved to West Virginia on August 19th 2015 with a plan to attend Appalachian Bible College for 2.5 (maximum 3) years and then return to Hungary after completing my B.A. in Bible and Theology plus Pastoral majors. God, however, had different plans and began to open our eyes to the weightiness of pastoral ministry. Only 1.5 years into the program, I began to pray for more opportunities to learn. I was, and still am, afraid to misrepresent Him and His precious Word, therefore I study as much as I can :)

He heard us again, and since then He has given me more than I could imagine. God has allowed me not only to finish my Bachelor of Arts degree at Appalachian Bible college but also a Master of Divinity degree at Shepherd’s Theological Seminary in North Carolina. Then God lead us to a pastoral internship program at Liberty Bible Church (Eureka, Illinois) under Pastor Tom Zobrist and there Elders of LBC. 

We completed our deputation process and returned to Hungary at the end of August 2023. 

Our desire is to take everything the Lord has blessed us with and use it for His glory! Working with an already existing local church (Tóalmás Baptist Church), we seek to plant and establish healthy Hungarian churches. While we wait on God to mature the church enough to launch another, we pray that God would enable us to serve the church well in the process. We hope to be an encouragement to the current and next generation of Hungarian pastors and church leaders. By God's grace we will teach the word of truth accurately and help others to do the same. Reaching the lost, and feeding the precious flock of God, which He has purchased by the blood of his son, Jesus Christ our Lord, is our ultimate goal!

Please consider partnering with us in this mission. We need you to pray, since the prayers of the righteous avail much. We need you to help with your sacrificial giving, since it allows us to devote our lives to the full-time study and preaching/teaching of the Word of God.

We are excited to see what the Lord will do through His word in Hungary!
