THURSDAY SOCCER TOURNAMENT





Above: After weeks of practice in his little village gym, Ben along with his team traveled to the town of Hatvan for his first soccer tournament. Stepping into the gym in Hatvan must have been a shocker for these kids, as it is probably 9 times as big as the one they had been practicing in. Out of the five teams that competed, Ben’s team came in last. Tough day as Ben was the goalkeeper. They were clobbered. The good thing is that they had a great time and through this I am able to meet parents of Ben’s classmates.

THURSDAY ENGLISH CLUB



Above L to R: Edina, Csilla, Heidi, Roger and Brenda leading the first part of English Club. This was Csilla’s first time to our new English Club. Last year, she attended our classes in the local community center and even stayed after several times for our Bible study. Because of serious health problems, she was restricted to stay at home. We were thankful to have her return on Thursday. Csilla also brought her son Csaba, who has attended a few of our evangelistic English Camps in the past. Csaba expressed interest in this year’s camp and may be able to go with a few friends.



Above L to R: Timi, Klári and Csaba competing in an ice breaker game.



Above L to R: Vali, Dávid and Niki in our night class playing the same game. Unfortunately, the flu has reached an epidemic level in Hungary. The effects can clearly be seen in the attendance at schools, at our church and also in our various ministry outreaches. Practically half our team is currently sick, and many in the church also have the flu. Please pray for our students and for us (Miki, Dezső, Brenda, Roger, Elianna and Kira) to fully recover.

FRIDAY TEEN OUTREACH







Above: Maybe the teen’s immune systems are a bit stronger than ours as we had a full house on Friday night. We continue offer a safe place for them to go to on Friday nights for card games, fuse ball and snacks. We praise God for the successful implementation of small group discussions which help us to get to know real issues going on in their lives and allow us to communicate God’s truth from His word.

SATURDAY PUPPET MINISTRY IN DUNAALMÁS



Above: Passing colorful buildings on long commute to the town of Dunaalmás.







Above: The orphanage/special needs home in Dunaalmás houses around 130 men. It stirred the heart to be there and to see their joy and excitement with the puppet show and with singing.



Above: Although many of the men have limited understanding, there were others in the room who could follow Julika’s presentation of the Gospel after the puppet show. This center is maintained by the Reformed Church and the facility was well maintained with workers who had a heart for this ministry. When Julika brought up John 3:16, we were amazed that the entire room burst out skipping ahead of her and saying the verse from memory! These men have a worship service every Sunday, and it was a joy to see their childlike knowledge of God’s Word.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

• Healing from the flu for family, team and church members.
• Wednesday we will launch an English Bible Study. Pray that students would come and be drawn to put their faith in Jesus through these classes.
