Above: My English students getting ready for an interview/answer session. Hugi's husband Gábor (above R blue shirt) has chosen to join my intermediate class.

After our first hour, I was curious to see if Gábor would stay for the Bible study. Last week, he was quick to leave, while Hugi remained. Gábor did stay and also openly participated in the discussion time. One of the questions he answered gave us some insight into his commitment to his wife Hugi. I asked the group, "Have you ever had to leave something valuable behind in order to pursue something of greater value?" He shared with us how he sold his home and left his workplace in Budapest to support his wife Hugi when she became sick.

Tonights study was about the rich young ruler who approached Jesus and asked what good thing he needed to do to gain eternal life. At the end of the study, I communicated the question that should have been asked: Jesus what do you need to do in order that I gain eternal life. Praise Jesus for His finished work on the cross, and the inheritance of eternal life to all those who believe in Him.

Above: After the Bible study, Miki had a chance to talk to Gábor and Hugi about their thoughts. Gábor shared how he feels that something is constantly missing in his heart. Something was missing that nothing seemed to fill in life. Miki had an opportunity to share about the only One who could fill that emptiness. As many of you know, Hugi decided to believe two weeks ago. It was joyful to see her after the first hour of English roaming around the room with a Bible in her hand waiting for the second hour of Englsh Bible study. Please pray that her husband Gábor may also come to understand the gift of salvation and the majesty of Jesus Christ. Pray that Gábor would join Hugi in attending our church to hear more about what it means to follow Jesus by faith and experience Christian fellowship.

After tonights outreach, Miki and I stayed after to mentor Dezső in the area of leading small groups. Dezső will be leading Miki's small group for the first time this Thursday. We have also given Dezső the responsibility to failitate our worship service this Sunday. These are all first steps for him that we have been preparing him for through teaching and example. Please pray for Dezső this week that He would be led by God's wisdom and be used by God to bless others through how he ministers.
