Testimony
Alex
I grew up in a Hungarian-American home in Cleveland, Ohio. My grandparents immigrated from Hungary after WW I. My parents and grandparents were faithful believers, so I grew up in a Christian family. I was saved in April, 1970 during evangelistic meetings at our home church, Suburban Hts. Baptist Church. Following this I attended Cedarville College where I majored in Bible. Pam and I met there in 1971, and were married a year later. Before joining the Word of Life Hungary team in 1990, I held pastorates in Christiansburg, OH (Honeycreek Baptist Church, 1972-74) and South Bend, Indiana (Mayflower Baptist Church, 1976-1990).
Pam
I was born in Meadville, PA on July 27, 1951. Our family attended Calvary Baptist Church. My father was a deacon there and I remember going to church regularly from the time I was a little child. When I was about 12 years old Jack Van Impe came to our church for a prophecy conference. I was not sure where I stood spiritually before that time. but during that conference I trusted Christ once for all as my personal savior and committed my life to Him. After graduating from Meadville High School I went to Cedarville College, where I met Alex. He was pastoring a church near school, so I instantly became a pastor's wife. I served in local churches as a pastor's wife, ministering to the church ladies, overseeing the nursery, and helping with visitation and counseling women. Al and I joined Word of Life in 1990 and moved to Tóalmás in 1992, where we have since served on the Word of Life Hungary team.
