Csécse

Above: Praise God for the two teams he put together. He has given us unity and all have served with joy and selflessness. This is Arnold’s (far left) first time serving on the Puppet team in this capacity and he has done an excellent job. Before he was even saved (this year), he shared with us that he thought he would love to be involved in doing puppets with kids.





Above: This was Csécse’s last day of school before their winter break. What a privilege to be the chosen special presentation for the kids on this day and leave them with gifts that keep their attention towards the truth about Jesus Christ.

Petofibanya Christmas Program

Above: A view of the sunset just outside of our town’s community center. As I mentioned in our previous post, our church was invited to participate in this year’s Christmas Program in Petofibanya. We praise God for the opportunity to share our hope with our hometown tonight.

Above: The local preschool (where Ziva attends) also performed. Ziva was one of the youngest in the class and was comical to watch.





Above: Our church choir was given a thirty minute time slot in the program. Between songs, Erika read the Christmas story and shared the Gospel message with the audience. We were given the opportunity to close the program by singing silent night in multiple languages. Elianna, Kira and I (Allen) sang the first verse in English, which was followed by German. Afterwards the entire choir sang in Hungarian. The choir did a wonderful job! We hope to see many who came this night visit our church for the first time this Sunday in the same building.

These past two weeks have flown by! Tomorrow is our last day of our Christmas Puppet Ministry. We will conclude in the town of Gyöngyös in the afternoon. Thank all of you for following these updates and joining us in prayer as we share the Gospel in public schools throughout northeastern Hungary. We appreciate your continued prayers for Erika (18 weeks pregnant) who has had abnormal pains over the past few days. Please continue to pray for a good night’s sleep and for success in our last show tomorrow.
