Above: As a way to follow up on new relationships made through our VBS last week, we planned a hike for teens on Friday night. VBS ended last Saturday, and we were thankful to see one teen, Orsi attend our worship service after getting to know us through VBS. We weren’t sure what the turn out would be on tonight’s hike, but the new faces outnumbered those who regurlary attend our teenager outreach on Friday nights. We had over 30 teens and also parents join us for the hike.

In multiple teams, we did various games that helped peope get to know each other. It was clear as night fell, that friendships were developing.

Above: After game time, we settled down around the fire for hot dogs and marshmallows. This is the time we use for evangelism. As teenager Gabi K. continues to grow in his faith, we are entrusting him with opportunities to serve. He did an excellent job in last week’s VBS teaching a small group. Tonight was his first opportunity to lead a discussion time. Gabi focused on the question of the meaning in life, using Ecclesiastes as his guide. The conversation led to an opportunity for Dezső to give testimony as to the shift in what he now considers life’s purpose. The kids (and parents) became very attentive when Dezső shared how he lost everything in life, and became an alcoholic for some time. He shared about how God rescued Him and how God’s word and Jesus became the source of light and deliverance in his life.

Above: One of the couples that came that most likely was able to hear testimony of how Jesus saves for the first time. Szabi (above right) is from the same town as Dezső. We hope that some of these teens and adults will respond to our invitation to church tomorrow. Please pray for them.
