Tonight’s Christmas Service



Above: Will the real pregger please rise!



God gifted us with a beautiful sunset while we packed our car for tonight’s special Christmas service. Below Left: The Mercer ministry mobile packed with donated Christmas gifts for the children tonight. Below Right: Milán & Gábor (teenagers from church) helping to distribute the gifts.




The children did a great job telling the Christmas story through poetry, song and dance. We praise God that many parents came (we ran out of seats). Bottom Left: Miki’s daughter Anna, Bottom Right: Families filled the rented public school room.



We also performed three of our dramas which communicate different aspects of the Gospel. Below: The crucifixion and resurrection. Miki’s wife Erika connecting with visitors. Heidi greets a Petőfibánya ESL student who responded to our invite.




We praise God that we were able to make new connections in the community through this special service. One mother approached me after service and said that she appreciated what we do in the community. We hope that this will be one of the first steps for many of these parents to begin attending worship service regularly with their children every Sunday. Please pray for them!

Praise worthy news:
Greta, (see 12/16/05 entry) called Heidi yesterday and talked with her for over an hour. She would like to meet sometime in the future. Heidi suggested going through the book of John together with Greta. Please pray that this relationship would be used to bless Greta!

Bernadette (see 12/16/05 entry) sent a text message to Heidi’s cell phone. She said that she will discuss our drama in class with the students and ask them what they learned! Wow. Please pray that God would bless those students and bless their discussion tomorrow.

Prayer requests:
Tonight, Sharon has been having mild contractions related to physical strain. Please pray that she would get the rest she needs and that Sharon and our baby would be protected by God.

Tomorrow we are off again to two public schools. One of the schools that we will visit is for mentally retarded persons. The Mayor and many parents will also attend. Please pray that God’s message of hope would bless all of them!

Please pray for our team. For unity, for focus on Jesus and for success in communicating the Gospel.

Goodnight.
