Recently we received a letter from one of our ministry partners who asked us to post it here for all to read. We are humbled and oh so grateful for all the wonderful people God has brought into our lives during these 10 years living in Debrecen and the three years prior while doing short-term ministry trips.
Be assured we will never forget you our prayer partners, financial supporters, and deeply loved friends.
Here is the letter sent to us...

Hospitality Ministry
Rob and Carol Greathouse
Debrecen, Hungary
GoodSports International wants to be one of the first to congratulate Robert and Carol Greathouse for their Hungarian Hospitality Ministry. As your time in Hungary comes to a close, we wanted to thank you for the strong ministry presence that influenced so many lives.
Servanthood is a characteristic that is frequently sought, but rarely lived out. However, servanthood truly defines the quality of your personal and public ministry here in Hungary. Your hearts touched many, the orphans in Miskolc and Debrecen, the Roma in Hadjuborszormeny, the women’s ministry in Romania and the children and coaches involved in the GoodSports program. We are truly--eternally--grateful.
If I were to describe the value of your ministry, I would say that your time in Hungary has encouraged, enabled and empowered the Hungarian church and its community of believers. Led by the Holy Spirit you were frequently present at the inception of new outreach ideas. In many ways you both served as a catalyst for believers to conceive, develop and execute a myriad of missions’ opportunities. As prayer warriors, and wise mentors, you were able to engender hope in so many lives.
So we shout our thanks from baseball, basketball and soccer fields. We shout our thanks from Romanian and Hungarian gypsy communities.
How many children, communities and families do you impact? – At least three countries (Hungary, Romania and the Ukraine) and mission teams from numerous stateside churches.
How many smiles have you enabled - countless.
How many have heard of Christ's love because of your ministry? - This list grows every day.
Thank you, good and faithful servants.
