Christmas Puppet Outreach final days

Before getting back to puppet ministry last Monday, we held our Christmas worship service in Petofibanya on Sunday evening. We were thankful to see visitors like the local middle school’s principal and others that church members personally invited attend this celebration with us!

Above: PI Teammember Tom who has been with us in Hungary a little over a year was able to share his testimony giving glory to the faithfulness and grace of God. Bogi, who was saved as a result of one of our English Club outreaches did a great job translating for Tom.

Above: Church member Orsi also shared her testimony. Orsi spent many years seeking for meaning in life and even went as far as India looking for spiritual direction. Every path she pursued did not satisfy what was missing in her soul until she encountered Jesus Christ. “Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)

Tuesday Szirak



On Tuesday our first stop was the town of Szirak. Last year we learned that the principal of this school had just been diagnosed with cancer and would be going through treatment. It was good to see him doing well this year and he remembered our prayers for him in his office. Before leaving, we were able to pray for him again for his complete recovery.

Thank you all for your prayers and support for this ministry. God was gracious to constantly provide for us and protect us as we traveled to over 30 schools. Praise God for seeds of His Good News distributed to over 2,000 children.

Please pray for all those who were involved in this ministry to have restorative rest as they spend time with family. Some are still dealing with sickness (as well as some of our kids), and we ask you to pray for complete healing.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13)
