Thursday Marriage Bible Study
Above: We continue to hold a Marriage Bible Study at our house every other week and have been thankful for those who are faithful to attend. We have seen signs in various venues of how couples’ thinking has been changed through our studies about our role in marriage. Tonight we talked about the root problem of selfishness that leads to arguments in marriage.
“Where do the conflicts and where do the quarrels among you come from? Is it not from this, from your passions that battle inside you? ...you ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, so you can spend it on your passions.” — James 4:1, 3
In contrast to making my spouse serve me so that I feel my own passions or desires are met, I should be seeking to serve my spouse. Instead of selfish manipulation, by God’s grace, we need to follow Jesus Christ’s example of living as a humble servant of others.
“Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.” – Phil. 2:3

Friday and Saturday Baseball Camp
Above: Pioneers teammember Jamie (left) explaining the foreign rules of baseball to kids who have little to no experience playing. The man standing to his right translated for Jamie and is not a believer. Please pray for him as Jamie continues to live out the gospel in his presence.
Above: Daddy getting squashed. With teammate Brenda’s help, we brought eight teenagers with us from Petőfibánya and Zagyvaszántó. These type of events help us to stay in touch with teens we have developed relationships through English camp and through our VBS.
Above: Orsi, who we met through our VBS, also joined us on Friday. In the one hour car ride, Orsi shared about her positive experience attending our church service. Please pray that God would continue to work in her heart to give her understanding of the gospel.
Above: Ben had a great time at camp. This was his first time playing baseball and he was extra excited about receiving his own baseball glove as a gift from Jamie.
Above: Sharon and Brenda have begun meeting with Hungarian teammates Erika and Edina discussing personality types and spiritual gifitng. This is a great way for them to build each other up and also to gain more insight about their gifts to keep them aflame for Jesus. (2 Tim 1:6)
Above L to R: Peti and Miki. On Friday night we invited Eszti and Peti with their three children (fourth one on the way) for American pancakes. We have seen Eszti (a member of our church) take great strides in her faith. She is very young, but very mature. Please pray with her for her husband Peti to come to know Jesus.
