Above: On Saturday our team traveled to the town of Hatvan (half an hour away) to perform an evangelistic puppet show in the town’s festivities. We were thankful for God giving us the help to quickly prepare right after English Camp and providing a beautiful day to be outside.

Above: After the show, we helped other volunteers by providing face painting and balloons. Miki had good conversations with some of the volunteers who stood by him the whole day. We were also able to hand out CDs and evangelistic material throughout the day.

SUNDAY WORSHIP AND PICNIC

We began our service with sharing the news of our recent loss of our 16 week old child. Miki and Dezső prayed for us in front of the congregation and I encouraged them afterwards to lift up songs of praise to Jesus Christ who is faithful, who loves us and who will not abandon us. In terms of our loss, we have felt great sadness. At the same time, I have deep joy in seeing two church members repent from sin that was leading far away from Jesus. After very honest, tough conversations with both of these members and by God’s gracious work to help them see the error of their ways they both repented and have chosen to follow Jesus and His leadership in their specific situations in life. This is a HUGE praise, as their previous behavior was causing great sadness in our hearts and causing the name of Christ to be shamed. Praise God for His grace, His patience and His open arms to those who repent and trust in His Son Jesus Christ.

Above: Kristi and Emily have been working with Pioneers over the summer in Hungary, serving in multiple camps and outreaches. They were gracious enough to visit our church plant in Petőfibánya and actually read their testimony in Hungarian (a very challenging feat). It was encouraging for our church to hear what God was doing in peoples personal lives on the other side of the world.

Above: Eszti with Dáriusz and Roger playing with Eszti’s husband Peti (in white). This was the FIRST time that Peti came to one of our church services and Eszti was rejoicing as she faithfully prays for his salvation. Peti was recently given worship songs from our church and he has been listening to them constantly. Just last week, He went hiking with Miki and accepted an invitation to come to church this past Sunday. We pray that God would reveal Himself to Him and that Peti would also turn to the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ that his wife Eszti has already wholeheartedly trusted.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

• Pray for us as we grieve the loss of our 16 week old child.
• Pray for new relationships to be built and the Gospel to be preached at this weeks Baseball Camp that will be held Wednesday through Saturday.
• Pray for Peti’s salvation.
• Pray for two church members who recently repented from destructive sin and choices to be fully restored by God’s grace.
• Pray for the health of our family as the kids are experiencing wacky rashes, puffy faces possibly from allergies (food or season we don’t know).
