Advent Outreach
December 01, 2009
Above: We had a great turn out for our advent wreath outreach on Saturday. It was great to see the mixture of children, teens, parents and grandparents all taking part! We also rejoiced in having many church members helping in set up and clean up afterwards.
Above: Ádám and Krisztián attend our Friday night teen outreach and most other outreach events we host. We are thankful for this continued connection with them and hope that they one day put their faith in Jesus Christ.
Above: Val (a leader of another PI team based in Budapest) gives a brief explanation of what we remember with the advent wreath. Val, along with her team, all pitched in to help set up and blessed us with most of the materials needed for the night.
Above: This is the first time that Hajni attended one of our outreach events with two of her children. We know Hajni through meeting at preschool to pick up our children. Hajni also sends her kids to Miki’s Bible class every week. She said that she would be glad to come back to these type of events our church holds in the future. We are thankful that she was able to hear more about Jesus at this event as Dezső shared the symbolism of each candle at the end of the night.

CHRISTMAS PUPPET MINISTRY
We are now just one week away from the start of our Christmas Puppet Ministry where we will tell the true story of Christmas to over 1000 children. As mentioned in our previous blog post, we are seeking people to pray for us daily from from December 7-22nd. If you would like to join this daily prayer team, please let us know via email. We are close to our desired goal of 10 people on that prayer team.
As is ’normal’ in our preparation for this ministry, we are feeling the spiritual attacks of the enemy. In past years, it is in this time frame of preparation to share the Gospel that we were sometimes stricken with sickness, sometimes our children had trouble sleeping or became fearful at night, and sometimes there was miscommunication or friction that happened in relationships with one another. Therefore, we ask you even now to pray for us and our family (as well as Miki and his family) as we practice this week.
