A Personal Note
We have served as Free Methodist Missionaries in Budapest, Hungary since August 2000. Our ability to minister in Hungary and throughout Europe depends upon the faithful support of individuals and churches, primarily in the United States. This support comes in a number of ways -- prayer, encouragement, partnerships, and finances.
Prayer support comes through the faithful prayers of individuals, church groups, family, and friends. You can participate in this more fully by subscribing to our
Budapest Prayer Letter.
Encouragement comes through the personal contacts that friends and supporters make with us, through e-mail, Skype, personal visits, etc. We are always happy to hear from you, and we love having visitors in Budapest!
Partnerships exist between us and partner churches. These partnerships go two ways -- we are able to focus more closely on resourcing our partner churches in the area of European missions with more freqent visits, personal contacts, and prayer. Our partner in turn are able to resource us by providing short-term teams, workers, teachers, etc. In addition, partner churches make significant financial commitments to supporting the work and ministries here in Hungary.
Pledges of financial support may be made to the
Winckles Missionary Support Account (Winckles MSA) by visiting

Pledges of financial support may be made to the
Hungary Country Support Account (Hungary CSA) by visiting

Budapest Ministry Center and the related programs administered by the Bread of Life Foundation (which is the Hungarian identity of the Free Methodist Mission).
