New Friends: Ben and Mary Ann Kovatch

I met Ben and Mary Ann at the train station in Budapest (Keleti station), and here is a quick picture of them. They are quite a handsome couple, and have been married now for just over 1 month! Ben works for The Bible League, and does a fantastic job coordinating everything from church planters and training to other events, printing, and…well…pretty much everything in some fashion that The Bible League does in Hungary and slightly beyond. He is also a body-builder, a rapier wit, a phenomenal grasp of the English language, and a great all-around guy. His wife, Mary Ann, is also amazing. She works for IBM’s Germany branch in the Human Resources Dept, and helps to coordinate logistics, benefits and expenses for German execs with IBM as they travel and work. She is super-sharp! She speaks English and Hungarian rather seamlessly, and I believe German as well. The more time you spend around either or both of them, the more you like them. It’s impossible not to. They are young, aggressive for the Kingdom of God, pleasant and happy! I just wish they lived a little closer.
