About our Ministry

Current Involvement:

Paul is the assistant director of the Bible College and a teacher at the College; he oversees the internship program and is the Pastor over CCA (a school for staff kids). Their heart and vision is to disciple the many young people that come here from all over America and Europe each semester. Jeanette serves in the women’s ministry.

Our Roles here at CCBCE (Calvary Chapel Bible College Europe).
I’m involved in the following --

• Assistant director of the college
• Pastor/teacher to the students
• Pastor over CCA (Calvary Christian Academy).
• Overseer and teacher of the internship program.
• Jeanette helps with the women’s ministry and oversees a women’s prayer group.

Who we reach: This past year we have ministered to over a 140 students. About half are Americans and the rest are Hungarians and other internationals. Especially with the European nationals we are seeing many return to their home churches and serving in servant leadership positions.

Emphasis in mission works: Over the years we have seen many go out as missionaries and national leaders. We have over 180 former students now serving in short and long term mission works.

Some Examples of where 2009 students are at or are going:

• Max and Shalene (married). Max is from Serbia and Shalene from America. Max just completed schooling and an internship and went back to the CC of Subotica to serve. Max is serving with the youth and in sports ministry. Shalene in worship.
• Norbi and Dusty (married). Norbi is from Hungary and Dusty from America. They just left to oversee a new Bible study and outreach to Dunaivaros Hungary.
• Andrew and Kim (married) from Australia will be serving beginning this year with the CC in Pec Hungary.
• Janos and Elizabeth (married) from Serbia, just graduated. Janos is going down to take over as pastor of his home church in Serbia.
• Gustavo Solis from States. Just graduated Gus will be serving the youth at CC Kerney NJ.
• Garrett Girvan from States and just graduated as an intern is seeking to serve as a missionary in Ireland or Scotland.
• James Hockney from England is now back in Bradford England serving with the youth at his church Church On The Way.
• Endalkarchaw Argaw from Ethiopia as recently finished an internship and leads a regular Bible study and prayer meeting for Ethiopians in Budapest and is seeking to be a part of an inner city sport ministry.

• Biblical Missions
  
• Revelation and overseer for missionary lectures.
  
• In addition I’ve co-taught the weekly internship class.
  

Outreaches. Each semester we send students out on weekend and one ten day missions outreach trip. This past year we have sent students to serve in:

• Vajta, Hungary
• Tatabánya, Hungary
• Eger, Hungary
• Esztergom, Hungary
• Oradea, Romania
• Bucharest, Romania
• Prague, Czech Republic
• Split, Croatia
• Niskic, Montenegro
• Briceni, Moldova
• Turku, Finland
• Nice, France
• Abuja, Nigeria
• Edinburgh, Scotland
• Lagoa, Portugal -- I personally went and served with this team. My wife Jeanette went to Nigeria to teach a women’s conference.

Guest Speaking and Teaching: Besides teaching at the Bible college, I’ll at times I/we are invited to speak at various churches. Some examples:

• CC Budapest – Sunday morning.
• CC Baja – Sunday morning
• CC Vienna – Sunday morning
• CC Lagoa Portugal – Sunday morning and midweek.
• Stockholm Sweden – Jeanette and I were especially blessed to teach at the Annual Scandinavian Conference.
• Abuja Nigeria --- (as said earlier) Jeanette was invited to teach for the women at the CC Abuja Nigeria. It was life changing for her.

Our Vision-- Vision for the students:

• Foundation for Life: I want to see as many students as possible, whether they are called to full time ministry or not, to have a strong spiritual foundation for whatever God calls them to do. Having graduated from Michigan States Univ. some time ago, I know the challenges and anti God philosophies that await many who will go on to secular college. I want them to be grounded in truth and to remain strong in the faith against these things.
• Eternal Vision: I was personally led to ministry by a teaching from Chuck Smith that spoke about the value of a life given to serve in the eternal things of God. My heart is now to pass along the same idea to all our students ---to see the importance of seeing and living for the eternal things of God.
• Spiritual Leaders: We also want to see the Lord raise up missionaries and national leaders to serve in churches all over

Prayer Requests

• God to bring more students for the next spring semester
• Friends for our kids (many of their friends have moved away).
• God to bless our teaching this next semester. I will be teaching Revelation, Philippians and the internship classes.
• My wife Jeanette will have knee surgery on both her knees this next month and will be disabled for the next six months at least.

OUR KIDS…..

• SEAN --- is 12 and is our “wild child” He loves to build things with Legos, to climb trees, play American football, shoot his BB gun and hang out with the Bible college guys.
• SIERRA --- is 14. She is a servant and super responsible. She loves to paint and write poetry and watch movies with friends. She reads more books than the rest of us combined.
• JAKE BEAR (his real name) --- is 4 and is following in the footsteps of his older brother of being crazy. Jake loves to work all the time and is pretty good with tools. He is currently in love with sledding behind the college where we have a big hill and lots of snow this winter.
