FRIDAY TEEN OUTREACH
Above: Church member Gabi talking with Erik at Friday’s teen outreach.
Erik was first invited to our Friday night teen outreach by a friend who is not a Christian (but always enjoys fellowship with us). Living in the neighboring town of Rozsaszentmárton, Erik catches a ride with Dezső to Petőfibánya. This has given Dezső multiple opportunities to answer questions about becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. Erik who witnessed the baptism of Enikő, Ildikó and Gizi just a few weeks ago continued to sit and listen in the back of our services and in our Friday night outreach week after week. Last Friday, Erik spent the bulk of his time just sitting with church member Gabi, and Gabi shared his testimony. After Dezső's teaching that night, Erik came to Dezső ready to make a decision to put his faith in Jesus Christ. God is pouring out His grace among the teens!
SPORTS DAY OUTREACH
Every summer our church is invited to serve in various community events. These are great opportunities to develop new relationships, give public testimony of our faith in Jesus and also to invite families to church and to our VBS this summer.

Above: After practicing dance motions throughout the week, our worship team with the help of various kids from church helped put on a mini concert with songs from our VBS.
Above: Peti explaining some of the relay games to Gabi. Church member Peti took on the responsibility of organizing and facilitating relay games for the kids (and adults) who attended. This was his first time taking on this much responsibility and he did a great job!
Above: Church members Enikő and Marcsi face-hand painting. These are also new responsibilities for these ladies, and we are thankful for God giving them the talent and ability to do a great job.

SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE
Above: Roland, Dezső and Eric trying out Bass guitar before service started. This was Roland’s first time attending our Sunday worship service!
Above: Gabi and Enikő.
Above: Miki leading some of the kids in Gospel verse memorization.
Above: Dezső sharing the Gospel with Roland just before he decided to put his faith in Jesus Christ. Roland then called me aside and said,”I wanted to tell you that I repented and have believed. I have spent my life on the wrong track and God has given me a second chance.”
Roland was literally shaking over the magnitude of this decision. Roland said that He began seeking after he was in a serious car accident in February. Church member Niki knew Roland years ago and became reacquainted with him. She then invited Roland to our Friday teen outreach where Dezső has been teaching each week about the futility of this world and the longing we have deep down of something more. Dezső has often shared his testimony and has been showing from God's word that the 'something more' is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Praise God for His miraculous work to graciously touch the heart of these lost teens, to draw them to Himself and to save them through Jesus Christ!
Please pray for Eric and Roland who have made decisions to put their faith in Jesus Christ. Remember that they don’t come from Christian homes, have little to no ‘religious’ background and just about everything they are hearing from God’s Word is new to them. Will you stand with them in this time and bless them through prayer!
