Back from Nigeria!

My dear Family and Friends!!!

Yes, I got back safe from Nigeria… at least by body is back… the big part of my heart stayed there with the people in the church. It was one of the best 2 months of my life! God might be glorified! He is soooo faithful and sooo good!!!! He taught me so much and changed me in more ways than I ever thought I can be changed. He challenged me in many areas and healed many wounds I had in me from my past, I never was able to let go. He had to take me back third times there to work it out in my heart. He gave me many amazing people He used for that process. I’m soo thankful for each of them as well as I’m very thankful for all of YOU who were with me the whole time in prayers and in my heart!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!! I know I could not be able to do it without those prayers.. God listened and answered all of them I think… if not so, He had a reason why not! He knows the very best for us, and He will allow us to choose to trust Him with it, trust Him in every part of our life!!!

Soo, what happened in the last 2 weeks? We had a team from Corvallis with us for 3 weeks… They were absolutely a blessing for us, for the church in Jikwoyi (Pastor Prince’s church), and in “One-man-village” (Pastor Godfrey’s church) and down in Ibadan ( Pastor Abiodun’s church) where Brett and Glory moved after their wedding! They did VBS in all places and orphanage ministry, we held a women conference for two days, what was a blessing. Beth stayed with the team most of the time, I stayed home and did my daily things, helping the team here and there!! The Sunday before they left, before service one of the girls from the team had some allergies - they still have no clue for what- and got into an anaphylaxis shock. I saw she is not feeling well and wanted to send her home with someone to rest… and when we almost were ready to go, she lost her strength and within few minutes she got into a stage her pupils were dilated, not reacting to light… I just prayed and tried to bring her back and keep contact with me… I heard Prince started to pray and few sec later her conscious was back, but she wasn’t stable. God provided a car with a Muslim driver, who drove us back to the house, we got an Epi-pen -we never had to use- and got to the hospital. She got some steroids, after 3 hours felt better, and got released from the hospital… I was walking back, when Prince called that she got worst in the car, turn around!! We did and I spent the next almost whole 2 days in hospitals. She did not want me to leave.. So I slept - not really- in her bad holding her, while she was fighting through the drugs and the side effects that her body give to them. If that was the only reason I was there for two months I know God did it. She got transported to a big National hospital, and straight from there to the airport… It was really a special time for me, to learn Who is the BOSS!! He is so faithful and has a reason with everything. Amy is back to the States safe and feels so much better!!!! Praise GOD!! And this is only one of the great stories He done there!! He is soo good, and really does not want anything else from us, just to be willing to do whatever He asks… even if it’s a small thing, or can be as big as I think I can`t do it… He knows… and He cares soooo much!!! It was hard to say good byes to everyone… I hate good byes…

But!!!

He is so faithful!! Really it feels the time I was there is so much shorter.. In many ways… and so much longer, because of all the things He has done. I attended 3 weddings and took photos for them, moved into new apartment, saw people got healed, physically, spiritually… saw what life really looks like there, facing with all I was soo scared of before I left and even more, and see God’s grace and faithfulness through the whole time! See His heart towards me and the way He sees me, that I never was able to see before. Someone told me yesterday that not the same Agi came back from Africa that left… I think is true. But God is not done yet with me…

Please pray -that I can keep all I learned while I was there.
-I can fall in love with God even more, seek Him, spend time with Him as I was able to do every day through the time there. I don’t want to loose that.
- for my heart, that I will be able to focus on what He has for me for now.
- for leading and guiding for me, according His will for me to go back or not
- for His heart for me… that I will be able to love the way He asks me to
-for provision if is His will for me to go back - in every way… my heart, my spirit, my finances. That he would guide me, protect me and prepare me… if is His will for me, and prepare the ministry there for me as well
-for His grace and mercy upon my life for the next semester, that I would be a good tool in His hands, and willing to do whatever He asks me to do… be available for Him to use me for His glory!!!
- for those who I had to leave behind, and missing me- mostly for Beth, because she will stay for another 10 months in Abuja…for God’s grace, wisdom, love and understanding for her and if is possible an other lady who can serve alongside her

Thank you again for all your prayers, encouragement, support you give me!! I love you and appreciate you all sooo much!!

May the Lord bless you and keep you in all you do!!!

Love you all with His love

News from Agi from Nigeria #2

Dear Friends and Family!!!

I can’t really believe it, but a half of my time is gone! It seems like I got here yesterday, but the same time is like I’m here for months. The Lord done so much and I know that He did not stop it yet. He still has many things stored up for this time while I’m here.
I don’t think I have the time to write down everything that happened. I just give you some info in nutshell and I will summaries the whole time I had here when I got home.
I really miss all of you soo much. If you think of me and have some time to call I have a # you can reach me any time. The time zone is the same as London. It means one hour behind Budapest time. From the States is depends where are you from. Anyway the # is: +234-805-422-5986.
The last 2 weeks we been really busy with all the wedding preparation and church programs as well. I have been doing the nursing ministry every Monday and Saturday… this last one I missed it because of the wedding. I did not have too many people but all who came was a blessing. Honestly first I got disappointed, but the Lord showed me that the only thing matters to Him is my heart. Not the number of people who shows up, or I ‘m able to help them or not, but that I’m willing to do whatever He asked me to, and if is only one person who shows up, and I can pray with them and encourage them that all matters to Him. HE is really teaching me of the matter of heart, how much He is not interested in anything else but my motives, and the heart behind them. I can do everything for people to show them how great and spiritual I’m, but He knows what is behind, where my heart is, and He wants my heart, not anything else. I love to do things for Him, but he wants my heart …completely.
I had to teach this Sunday the kids class… honestly it is a challenge for me, it’s hard to find the exact words they will understand and the examples they would get… I had to teach on Mark 4: 30-34. It’s blows my mind that without a Bible how they are memorizing weekly their verses and able to quote the next week or weeks later. I wish my mind would work that way. I really enjoy to be in the kids class thought. I learn so much of them.
My favorite time still the Sunday morning worship. I love worship here, they really do praise and worship the Lord with their whole heart. I’m learning so much from the members of the church. I wish you all could meet them and get to know them. Some amazing children of our Heavenly Father.
The wedding was very nice… the only thing it was in “African timing”. That means we started 3 hour later then the original time. We ordered a van for 6 o’clock that we go ahead and decorate the place… the van got here little bit after 10:00. I really learn to trust in the Lord even in the small things here. That EVERYTHING is in His hands and happens in His perfect timing. I was the official photographer of the wedding, what I really enjoyed even that meant to be on my feet all they long.
The orphanage ministry got skipped again because of the wedding. I miss the kids, they are so cute. I love them.
I don’t want to make you bored and read a book… I will finish up soon.
Please pray:
- for me to grow in His grace and love and mercy and be able to love all He brings into my way
- for me to be a light for those who are in the darkness, and a good tool in His hands
- For the Lord’s leading in all I do
- For sensitivity for His Spirit’s leading
- for the kids ministry for all ages
- for the upcoming women conference
- for the team that arrives Thursday from Corvallis and their time here
- for the medical ministry to be useful for His glory
- for unity in the missionary team here
- for wisdom for the leadership
- for growth and strengthening among the youth that the Lord will rise up leaders
- for me to be a blessing to the church while I’m here
- for me to be moldable in His hands and willing to do whatever He asks me to!!
- For all of you who are far from me but close to my heart… be blessed by His richness of His grace and mercy, and growing in His love


Thank you for all your prayers, support and encouragement!! Thank you for being a part of my life and loving me!

God bless you beyond your dreams!!!

Love in Him!!

2 days and I'm in Nigeria

Dear Family and Friends!!!

First of all sorry for not writing for so long. It really been one of the busiest time since a long time!

In the past few months way to many things happened and I don’t think I have the time to write it down and you don’t have either to read a book. J

The most important events were: God provided again everything for me to go to Abuja, Nigeria to serve the church there for two month. We had a great semester, I can‘t believe that is‘ already a month since it was over … one of the best ones I think, and during it the Lord taught me many lessons… few of them were easier the other were not easy at all. I think the biggest one is still to trust Him no matter what!

I had a chance to share at the women Bible study again at Kaposvar… the whole day was about trust in HIM! I love how He works out everything so perfect!

God can use everything!! Did you really know that? I got an earring years ago in Kyrgyzstan and one day we had to do some official stuff for the school at Szekesfehervar in the tax office. This lady walk up to me and makes a compliment on my earrings. We started to talk about it where I got it, and after few minutes talk she got so exited about all I shared that she asked for my name and phone# and told me that she is a journalist for one of the biggest newspaper in Hungary, and would like to make an interview with me… After that for 2 months I have not heard from her… and about 3 weeks ago she called, few days later she was here at Vajta and we had a 40 minutes talk about my life…. Mainly about the Lord… It was sooo amazing how all the answers went back to Him and she did not close up, or ignored them. Few days later the article got published in Hungarian on the http://www.mno.hu/portal/566691 side… for those of you who is able to understand this language of mine. ;) Since that she wrote me few times and she wants to talk to me after I got back from Nigeria at the fall….and an other girl found me on Facebook for info because she read the article and she going to be in Abuja at the summer for a month… God is soooo awesome!!! He can use everyone and everything if we let Him to.

So… I can’t believe it, but it’s true: day after tomorrow Beth Steward and I take off to the far land of Nigeria. It still seems unreal, but it is happening. Beth is here at Vajta for almost 2 weeks now, and it is a blessing. I almost packed… the weird changes in the weight limit at the airlines freak me out for a while. I plan to do some medical ministry while I will be in Abuja, and I collected and bought medicines and medical supplies for the trip… and then I found out that I can’t check in more than 20 kgs ~44 pounds. The aid itself was about that much. We prayed and the Lord work it out that I had to drop one of our Foundation Conference guest at the airport, I tried at the Lufthansa desk… and after almost 20 minutes talk, and phone calls the lady gave me extra 10 kgs. Bless God for it!! Now I think I can take almost everything He provided and most of my personal stuff as well! He is soooo faithful!
The main thing I will do, is being flexible!! But seriously.. Help in the children and women ministry, weekly visit the orphans at the orphanage nearby, try to visit families who come to the church, and doing nursing of course..

Please please pray for safety, in every way…
-For my health, that all the issues I had / have in these past months would be healed and fine while I`m there!
-Pray for me to be a great tool in His hand. And I can be a blessing in all He wants me to do!!
-I can be a light in the darkness, and a good example for all the believers!
-For His Protection from the enemy, form illnesses, infections, attacks!!
-For the travel, and all the bags and aids that the guards will have been blinded for us, and -let take all the stuff we have into the country!
-For unity with the missionary team there!!! Prince, Brett, Joshua and us girls!!!
-Daily overflowing of the Spirit, for me being sensitive for HIM, for His leading! And I would be able to walk in the Spirit and act in It!!!!
-For wisdom in making the daily decisions!!
-PLEASE PRAY FOR HEALING!!! I just found out that I have bronchitis in both of my lungs and I have to travel in less then 2 day!!!

Thank you soooooooooooo much for all your prayers, encouragements and support in every way!!!

May the Lord God Most High bless you and keep you in His perfect will!!!
Love you and miss you!!! And I appreciate you all sooo much!

Love you all!!!!

News about Nigeria!

As most of you know the last October God took me back to Africa, to Abuja, Nigeria. It was my second time there and the Lord showed me that it was not the last one! I talked with Phil, who is my pastor and with Prince who is the pastor of the church there. Surprisingly both of them were fine with my idea of -if the Lord leads and provides- coming back for not only a week or two, but for a longer period of time, like 2-3 months. According to my schedule here at the Bible College the only time for that is during the summer, when we don`t have the school, but we provide facility for conferences. After I got back from Abuja my emotions cooled down a little, and I started to see more clearly the whole situation... Of course the same time I allowed to the enemy to whisper his lies into my ears, and started to let fear, scepticism and disbelieve overcome my heart. Before the semester started I was at the point when I intentionally avoided all my thoughts and desires in this matter. I thought that all that came only from my fleshly desires and honestly I had fears and scary thoughts about it... like: Am I really able to do that? Do I gonna be a good example of my Lord? Can I take 2 months with rain and bugs? Is it really God`s will for me or just my dream? Can I minister to those women and kids the way they deserve it? and I could go on and on and on. If we don`t watch out our enemy will find every opportunity to discourage us and turn us away from God`s will, that He has for our lives. Anyway... God did not let me be stuck in that place... as His word says in 2. Cor. 3:17 "Where is the Spirit of the Lord, there is freedom." and He gives that for us. Anyway... He had to nail me to my bed to finally listen to Him again! I got a really bad bronchitis like 3 weeks ago and I couldn't get out my bed. If you know me just a little, you know that is the worst punishment I can get... The Lord knew it and He did it! For like 2-3 days I was just fighting against the whole things... against Him. After that I realized that its a great opportunity to listen to some teachings and read my books. And I did so... but "surprisingly" everything was about walking in His will, being obedient to Him, do whatever He asks me to do, if He calls He will protect and provide and He will bless me and make me a blessing for others by His hands. Then one day one of my friend called me to ask for permission to visit me! (hahaha... I`m so scary that you need permission to see me! :-( ) While she was on her way to my room, I heard the Lord's voice saying: "I have your ticket to Nigeria" I tried to avoid it, but I remembered it. She got there and I could see that she is very exited for some reason. She surprised me, didn't shock me, because the Lord just told me few minutes before... Someone called her that they want to pay for my ticket to Nigeria. And from that on everything is crazy... I found out that Beth S. one of ex-CCA teachers is going for a year and Prince is praying for to come for the Foundation conference, that means that my fear to travel alone was all for nothing! God pays attention to the smallest details! Still I need bunch of things to be ready to go, but I`m planing to leave on the 26th of June and stay for 2 months.

Please pray for me and for this whole summer! God is faithful and soooo good! And He is doing a new thing every single day!! It is a privilege to be a part of it!!!!

May the Lord bless you in all you do!




If you have any question feel free to ask!




Love you
