SUNDAY WORSHIP

PENTACOST MONDAY

In a nation so wrought with atheism, having Pentecost celebrated as a national holiday seems a bit odd. I would venture to say that the majority of Hungarians would have no idea what Pentecost was about and why it is so important to followers of Jesus Christ. We took full advantage of having Pentecost Monday off by having a picnic in the neighboring village of Rozsaszentmarton where God is planting a church. Church member Tamás, for the second time this year, opened up his home and spacious yard to host over 60 children and adults. Dezso’s mother who lives next door was at work early preparing Goulash soup.

Above: Playing a game designed to help people go deeper in conversation and share on a heart level. Anikó (center of picture) was recently saved. Anikó is the daughter of one of our first church members Marika who was saved through a Jesus Film outreach when we first arrived in Petofibanya years ago. Praise God for continuing to reach more and more through family connections!



Above: Gyozo (left) and Dávid (right), two teens that began attending years ago and are now at opposite sides of the spectrum. Over the years, Gyozo was saved at an English Camp, and continues to be discipled and mentored in small group settings and one on one. Gyozo has even begun taking on facilitating the teen group that meets every Thursday and is gaining clarity as to where God is calling him to serve. In our church, Gyozo is one of the most spiritually mature teens and I believe will be do great things for Christ. Unfortunately, Dávid chose a different path dropping out of fellowship, dropping out of school and spending his time with a group of ‘friends’ that aren’t a great influence. This is the first time Dávid has joined our church for such an event in years and I was very thankful to see him with Gyozo a good part of the day. I believe that Gyozo is now mature enough to be an influence on Dávid instead of being the other was around.

REMENYSEG FESZTIVAL (HOPE FESTIVAL)

Franklin Graham will be having a major outreach in Budapest this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Five of us from our church have attended training and will be participating as counselors in the stadium in Budapest to help those who respond to the Gospel message. We are excited to see how God will move with the amount of prayer support and ground work that has gone into this outreach for the glory of Christ.



Above: Gabi and his brother Attila. Gabi who has been saved for a few years and growing in his faith will be bringing his brother Attila to the Franklin Graham Outreach on Sunday. We also have others in our church who are bringing friends from our community and ask for prayer!

Prayer Requests

Please pray for the Franklin Graham outreach this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Pray for God’s Spirit to bring conviction and give understanding to those who attend that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Pray specifically for Attila (Gabi’s brother), Erika’s father (attending on Sunday), Renni and Fanni. Pray also for those of us who are serving, for strength for three nights and that God would use us for His glory and lead us by His Spirit.

Please pray for those who have recently made decisions to trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Anikó, Ildikó, Gyula and János.

Please pray for Tom, who will be visiting our teams in Hungary from the US and is seeking God’s will as to which church planting team to join in Hungary
