Biopsy Results: Thank you for your prayers for Sharon. We received good news yesterday that there is no sign of cancer from the biopsy. The type of benign tumor she has does not indicate a threat of cancer nor increase the chances of cancer. We praise God for this good news and we thank you for your part in prayer.

Sunday Baptism in Petőfibánya

Teammate Brenda Herhei reports: "We had a baptism which we always hold at Miki’s house and it was just really encouraging. Peter (a traveling preacher who is with us every other week) preached a great sermon which felt to me exactly like what Jesus would say if He were here. It was a great combination of “you’re not perfect, you’re going to mess up, we love you anyway” combined with “press on, you can do it, live a changed life”. Several people shared their testimonies or words of encouragement from the week and it was just so good… like a real, live, growing body of Christ. We are far from perfect but there is some good stuff going on here folks. Praise God for how His Spirit is moving in Petofibanya!

Monday Puppet Outreach







The puppet team reports: "We went to two preschools today. In Nagykökényes, 18 children greeted us. When the angel appeared in the midst of the puppet show, they called out: " Wow, it's beautiful!" At the end of the show, the kids joined in singing with us. "God is the One who is good." As we were packing up, the kids sang a song to us that their local priest had taught them. One of them spoke of peace being with us, and Jesus being with us. He really was with us!

In Héhalom we presented to first and second graders. Even though we came at a time that went into their lunch break, they were kind enough to serve us snacks, ask lots of questions showing that they were pleased that we were there. The kindergarten teacher even helped with the packing.

"You may turn to Jézus for help! He gave His life for you! He offers you eternal life If you believe in God's Son…!" It was great to see how much the kids payed attention to the good news of Christ.

Important prayer requests:

This is a huge event for Pioneers teammate Julie and the volunteer cast members involved. Please pray that the Lord would bless their work and that they show would run smoothly so that people can really focus on the story and hopefully want to know more about a having a personal relationship with Christ.
