SUNDAY:

This morning I was able to meet with Dezső for our ongoing discipleship. We continued on the topic of the church and discussed the roles of leaders in the church.

Above: Adrienn, Kinga and Feri (Márcsi in back row). Adrienn and Kinga came to worship practice on wednesday, and we prepared a choreographic dance for tonight. When I saw them outside (they live very close to our apartment), I could see them practicing the worship song. Tonight, they did a great job singing and dancing (of course I joined them).

Before service, I met with Márcsi and Dezső for more discipleship. Tonight we focused on baptism, as Márcsi will be baptized next week. Please pray for her as she prepares her testimony for Sunday and that God would bless her through this step of obedience.

It was interesting to see our attendance tonight. The room seemed a bit empty, but as I surveyed the room, it dawned on me that this was the core of our church. Not including the kids, we had seven people (outside of those who planted the church). I believe we have had (and will continue to have) an impact on their lives. I praise God for them and for the church He is building in Petőfibánya!
