Daniel & Amanda Buck

In the interest of not burying the lead (and if the title of this left any room for guessing)... We’re going back to Hungary!  After two years at OMS headquarters in Indiana, we’ve said yes to returning to Hungary, this time as Field Directors. It’s a role we honestly didn’t expect at all, and one we’ve spent a lot of time praying over. But the

For April we are praying against spiritual strongholds that exist in Hungary specifically. Again, we created this calendar because we believe in the power of prayer and are so thankful you are willing to join us in praying for the people of Hungary, that they get to experience the love of God. We believe God is present and moving in Hungary, but there are some strong cultural barriers that continue

Our March prayer prompt is for our family. We will ALWAYS take your prayers, we know that your prayers are the only way we can do any of this. Specifically this month you can pray for our continued adjustment to being a family of 4. Pray for both Arlo and Felicity, that they continue to grow physically healthy and strong. But please also pray that they grow deeper in their

At the beginning of this year we created a prayer calendar for Hungary. January kind of got away from us (welcoming a new baby on Amanda's birthday can really do that!) so we are starting with our February focus here.

For those who many have missed it in the various emails. Amanda was scheduled for an induction this past Wednesday. After further review the doctor's decided things were

So as to not bury the lead further, Amanda and I found out last week that Amanda will be induced this week (Wednesday morning). Baby girl is looking healthy and strong, but they have labeled Amanda's fluid on the "low side of normal"

A post from Daniel Happy New Year!  We hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas and your New Year is off to a great start. As we start to look at a new baby coming in February, this year feels like it will be filled with many new things!  For a few years now resolutions have felt unhelpful to me. They feel too easy to fail or get behind

This will be a quick post, we just want to share how thankful we are for all of you. For those who check in every time we post, thank you. Sometimes writing regularly can feel unimportant, but the kind responses and “analytics” indicate as we try and show up for people, people will also show up with us. In OMS there is lore about Wesley Duewel. As he served, he

(a revitalized and hopefully still relevant blog from Amanda) I originally wrote this blog in the early Spring of 2020. I was struggling with everything happening during those early days of COVID and the rising division around the world, but especially in the States. I wanted to have so many conversations with so many people, but found myself unsure where to start, especially while living in Hungary and not sure
