Csaba Farago pastors  the Reformed Church in Dunaharaszti, Hungary. He and Emoke became Christians in the early 1990s and have served together in ministry since they were married in 1998.

Since 2002, Csaba has taken part in small group training for pastors with Entrust, which is known there as KIA (Keresztyen Ismeretterjeszto Alapitvany—Foundation for Christian Education).  He values the practical nature of the training and the opportunity for all the pastors in the group to share their spiritual burdens with one another.

 
Emoke particularly appreciates Entrust’s investment in pastors’ wives like herself. She’s a mother of three, a Sunday school teacher and a women’s ministry leader, and describes the KIA women’s leadership sessions as “wonderful … practical, fresh, full of life.” She says she’s gained new vision and helpful ideas for ministry. Just one outcome of that was a Retreat of Silence organized by the women in the church, for the women in the church.

Camps organized by KIA for pastors and their wives are especially encouraging for both Csaba and Emoke, allowing them to grow in fellowship with other Hungarian couples who face similar challenges and questions. Emoke says Jesus especially used Entrust staff members that spoke to her at one such camp for pastors’ families.

When asked how the U.S. could best continue to support KIA’s training program in Hungary, Emoke replied, “By supporting the missionaries (Entrust staff) financially and by providing opportunities where they can be get refreshed, because they are always giving to us.”
