VBS FINAL REPORT



Above: Bogi (back row purple), Krisztian (striped shirt) Patrik, Robin (boy in white shirt) and Brigi (behind him). Other than Patrik, all of these kids made decisions at our VBS to believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This is their first time attending our worship service on Sunday and praise God for the parents who allowed their children to come without them to church! In the past we have had a combined children’s sunday school that included preschoolers up to preteens. Because of the fruit from this year’s VBS we ended up holding two separate children’s classes for the first time. I took the little ones (around 10 kids) and Miki took the preteens (5 kids).



Above: Sunday school class for the little ones.



Above: Praise God for the hard work of this team of volunteers who wholeheartedly served in our VBS. Praise Him for the majority being from our local body and for the four who traveled from Budapest to be with us this past week. Teenager Niki from our church commented that though members of the team experienced various spiritual battles through the week, God brought them through it all in victory and maintained our unity and love toward one another.









Above: Our last day of camp on Saturday included an invite for parents to join the activities throughout the day. We were thankful for the response, this year being the largest number of parents to come.



Above: Bogi and Zsófi’s mother, Marian who has attended church over the past two weeks.



Above: Years ago, I would be the one leading this teaching time with the parents. Then, Dezső would be at my side. This past Saturday, it was a joy to see Dezso (above with nametag) leading this teaching time with the parents by himself. Praise God for the growth that He is causing in Dezso’s life! When I first met Dezso, he was opposed to going to and being a part of “the church.” Now God is using him as one of the most powerful testimonies in our body to turn others toward Jesus and to fellowship in Christ.



Above: Marcsi who sends her kids to our camp every year, is someone God has used to open doors to the Gospel in the town of Heréd. Marcsi began inviting our church to participate in events that she organized in Heréd last year. She is very open to the teaching we bring from God’s word but has not yet made a decision. Our next event in Heréd is scheduled for this Saturday. This may be the next small town where God would have us join Him in extending His kingdom and planting a church.



Above: Dezső sharing with some of the older kids who made decisions at camp about next steps and growth as a Christian.



Above: Speaking of next steps, Allen will be meeting with Zsófi and Eszti this Tuesday for Foundations of Faith in Christ/Baptism teaching.



Above: Dávid talking with Dezső. Dávid came to me after church with a smile and told me that he “finally” made a decision to put his faith in Jesus. Dávid has been involved in our fellowship for years, attended multiple VBS camps and English Camps. He has heard the Gospel repetitively from preteen years to teen years. I praise God for his profession of faith and look forward to seeing the new Dávid transformed by God’s grace.

This past week has been full of rejoicing as God is saving Hungarians from the bondage to sin, from Satan and from judgment and death through His Son Jesus Christ. I have included some movies below of our VBS that may help you to see the joy that resulted from God’s work.









PLEASE PRAY:

- For Bogi, Brigi, Krisztian, Robin and Dávid who made decisions to believe in Jesus and live with parents who do not believe (yet). Pray for follow up, for a hunger for God’s word and for roots of God’s truth to grow deep within their hearts.

- For Bogi and Zsófi’s mother Marian who has begun attending our church and is hearing the good news of restoration with God through Jesus Christ.

- For Eszti and Zsófi as they learn about the Biblical background and reasons for Baptism this Tuesday.

- For our son Benjamin who is at a missionary kids camp in Czech Republic for the entire week. Pray also for safe travel home when he returns on Saturday.

- For our participation in a community event in the town of Heréd on Satruday. Pray for relationships to be built and for the Gospel to be proclaimed.
