Welcome to our website! We are Paul and Jill Weaver, missionaries with Word of Life Bible Institute in the beautiful country of Hungary!
The mission of the Word of Life Hungary Bible Institute is to help men and women develop the strong biblical foundation necessary to be godly servant leaders in the Christian community, whether as a pastor, teacher, missionary or just as importantly, as a lay person in the local church. Through a unique blend of biblical classroom instruction, personal discipleship, practical ministry involvement, and authentic Christian community, our students acquire the character and skills necessary for the work of evangelism, discipleship, biblical preaching, teaching, and counseling, as well as preparation to help train others in the same areas of ministry.
This year we have 56 students from 12 different countries attending the Bible Institute. How exciting it is to think of the ways God will use these young men and women in the future for His glory! Central Europe is in great need for revival and these students will be the churches next generation of leaders!

Paul’s Testimony
I was born into a home with parents who dearly love the Lord. I was only six years old when my mother led me to the Lord. As a teenager, I dedicated my life to Him at a Word of Life summer camp, and as a student at the Word of Life Bible Institute I committed my life to full-time Christian service. It was while I was a student at Appalachian Bible College I discerned that the Lord was leading me to be a missionary. I continued my preparation for ministry at Dallas Theological Seminary, where I earned a master’s degree in theology. For the past six years I have served as a resident Bible Teacher with WOL Hungary’s Bible Institute and for four of those years I also served as it’s Academic Dean. February 1st, 2009 I became the Bible School Director.
Jill’s Testimony
I was born into a Christian family. At the age of 5, my grandparents led me to the Lord at the Child Evangelism Fellowship club which was held in our home. My walk with the Lord has been a continual growing process. When I was ten years old I began attending Word of Life clubs. Through summers spent as a camp helper in New York and my time as a student at Word of Life Hungary Bible Institute, the Lord has allowed me to draw closer and closer to Him. With the Lord’s help, I hope to become a better servant each and every day to please Him more and to be a productive team member with Word of Life Hungary.
