Gary Fallesen / Thursday, February 12, 2015 / Categories: Mission: Nepal 2015, Bios Edward Nitkovszki Nationality: Hungarian. Occupation: Medical doctor, working currently in pharmaceutical industry. Missions with C4C: First. How long have you climbed? Always climbed something. Type of climbing you do: Rock climbing for three years; trekking, hiking since childhood. Highlight of climbing career: Rock climbing in Transylvania with Joe “the Indian,” a friend and mountain rescue guy, who climbed Eiger’s North Face and Nanga Parbat; hiking and trekking in the Swiss Alps. How long have you been a Christian? 25 years. Type of ministry you are blessed to serve in: Teaching about creation vs. evolution to students and churches, preaching in a small country church. Favorite Scripture verse (and why): Jeremiah 29:11. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Things in life can happen but God has the perfect plan, and He is in full control. Special “God moment” you'd like to share: A few months after coming to Christ some of us went to a youth conference driving a Trabant (small car –the so-called “cardboard or paper car” made in the former German Democratic Republic, now the eastern part of Germany). Four people squeezed in: me and my younger brother and two other people from the youth group. Our driver was driving pretty crazy. Arrived in a village, in a 90-degree curve tried to take over a slower driver, but suddenly in the opposite lane another car showed up … We pulled it back in our lane in the front of the slower car with a very fast move to avoid a head-on collision, but our car wasn’t sticking at all to the asphalt, it just flew out from the curve in the direction of a quite stable fence where some people were in front of it. In a sudden instant somehow we landed back on the asphalt on the left side of the car, in our own lane. Nobody was hurt. We rolled the car back on its wheels, paid the fine to the police officer that showed up from somewhere. The car had no real roof and had a flapping hood. We started the engine and went back home with it praising the Lord for keeping us safe, knowing that His angels were at work. Finally we took the train from home and went to the youth conference. And, guess what, our driver is now a pastor in a Hungarian church. What does Climbing For Christ mean to you? Combining the passion for serving and the passion for climbing to serve in a unique way, even “unto the uttermost part of the earth” PROfile: Will Gadd Mission Moments: UGANDA Print 2889 Gary FallesenGary Fallesen Other posts by Gary Fallesen Contact author
