A Joyous Step in Faith: My Hungarian Husband’s Baptism in America

A Joyous Step in Faith: My Hungarian Husband’s Baptism in America

This past Sunday was a day that I’ll never forget — a milestone not only in my husband’s life but in our journey together as a family. It's a moment that we will never forget! It was a joyous occasion. My Hungarian husband, Zsolt, took a powerful step in his faith and was baptized at our church, surrounded by family, friends, and love that spanned across continents.

From the moment we walked into the church, there was a sense of excitement and peace in the air. The worship was beautiful, and the message was moving. The moment my husband stepped into the water — that’s when everything paused. I could feel the presence of God, strong and real. Watching my husband declare his faith so publicly and confidently with his testimony brought tears to my eyes.

What made this moment even more special was knowing that our Hungarian family — his mom who is 86 years old, other family members and friends in Hungary — were watching the baptism live from across the world. Thanks to our church’s live streaming, they could be part of this special day even from thousands of miles away. Their messages of encouragement and love poured in after the service, reminding us how connected we truly are despite the distance.

My husband has come so far in his walk with Christ. From curious conversations and deep questions to fully embracing God’s love and grace, it’s been a beautiful transformation to witness. His heart has softened, his peace has grown, and his faith has become a powerful part of who he is. Seeing him stand in front of our church family and declare his trust in Jesus was a testament to the work God has been doing in his life — one step, one prayer, one conversation at a time.

As an American wife married to a Hungarian man, this moment was also a celebration of the unity we’ve built — not just in culture and language, but in faith. We are walking this life together, hand in hand, rooted in something far bigger than ourselves. I couldn’t be more proud of him.

That afternoon, as we gathered at home with friends and family, we celebrated the day in our own special way — with a meal and lots of stories and laughter. 

As we celebrated Zsolt’s baptism, it reminded me of how faith and family are often nurtured around the simplest of things — like gathering around the kitchen table or in the living room. Our journey toward this moment has been filled with intentional choices, not just spiritually but even in how we care for one another daily. One of those choices has been embracing a keto lifestyle together. Sharing low-carb meals as a family has not only helped us feel healthier but has also created meaningful moments — Sunday breakfasts before church, cozy dinners, and even laughing over keto baking fails. These small habits, rooted in love and unity, became stepping stones in our faith walk, leading us to this joyful milestone where physical wellness, spiritual growth, and family bonds are all intertwined.

To everyone who prayed, encouraged, and celebrated with us — thank you! Whether you were in the room or watching the livestream from Hungary, your love was felt deeply.

This is just the beginning!
