Above: Zoli showed up a bit early on Thursday for our teenager discipleship study. The kids love his antics and I'm sure Zoli doesn't mind theirs either.

Above: Later, Gabi walks in, only to be greeted by a mad lamb puppet. Poor Gabi. We were also thankful for Ádám coming (above right with Ben). Ádám is more like a visitor than a regular attender. I hope that this will change and that He will begin responding to God's grace in His life.

Though a planned a different discussion, God led us to the topic of fear. These teens are very fearful of the future in this stage of life. They are thinking about choices for school, after school and if they will be able to find jobs or lead a family. This was an excellent opportunity to listen to what Jesus taught in Matthew 6:25-34. As we studied the chapter, we discovered how God values us, how He is sure to provide for us, and how we can depend on Him for the unknowns in life. "But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33)

Next week's teenager Bible study will be facilitated by Zoli. This will be a first for him! It is my desire to see these teenagers carry on the Bible study when we are away on furlough in the fall. Please pray for Zoli that this would be a positive experience as he prepares at home and facilitates the group on Thursday.

Above: We had about 18 kids come to our Friday night Sport's Outreach. We play soccer for an hour and a half, and use the last 30 minutes for an optional Bible study with the teens.

I am saddened that most of the teens leave for the optional Bible study. Out of the four that stayed, two of them are growing in their faith and the other two are just interested. I am thankful for the privilege to build into their lives, but have desire to see more teens come to know Jesus, the Son of God.
