Above: Old friends Vera and Tamás that we served with years ago in Budapest dropped by to participate in our marriage Bible study tonight. Vera and Tamás are also involved in church planting in Budapest. They are expecting their third child next week.





Above: We had three married couples and three married women that came without their spouses. Every time we meet, we see the importance of holding these classes. Generation after generation in Hungary have passed on wrong thinking about marriage and bad patterns in marriage. It is a blessing to have the Bible and to understand God’s will in marriage for husbands and wives.

We broke up into separate groups tonight with Sharon leading the women and Allen leading the men’s study on Ephesians 5. We were blessed to see each person’s input, honesty in sharing struggles and the opportunity to pray for one another. It is always a good sign to see people linger and continue with one on one conversation after the study time ends. God is developing a true experience of fellowship.



Above: We were very thankful for teenagers Zoli and Niki who were gracious to watch the kids tonight. They do an excellent job keeping them happy (and us happy).

Above: The latest fad for the Mercer kids is to dress up with their friends and take turns performing majestic dances.

Tomorrow we are planning our Friday teen outreach ministry. Please pray for us to have wisdom in planning and for God to use our time tomorrow night with the teens to help them understand Jesus. Please also pray for teenagers Gabi K and Zoli who will be helping in the planning and carrying out of this ministry.
