Above: We had 40 volunteers this year serving in various ways in our VBS this year. It is a joy to serve with so many that clearly love Jesus and desire to share His love with these kids.





Above: As we’ve come to the last day, the kids now know all the songs by heart and were enthusiastically participating in our last morning meeting.



Above: Praise God for bringing many parents on Saturday. Above, you can see Dezso leading a small group time just for them and explaining what Christianity is all about. Arnold and I also were able to share out personal testimonies of how Jesus saved us. It was clear that there was one particular woman, Noemi, that was very active in the group and interested in hearing more about what we were sharing.

Above: As the day continued, Noemi was more and more convicted as she spoke to various workers about a personal relationship with Christ. She sought out Dezso to talk more about what she should do. Noemi’s husband was also present, but confessed that he was not ready to take any steps like his wife. Soon after, Noemi decided to put her faith in Jesus! We have never had this happen at a previous VBS, but rather in days following. Praise God for sending His Spirit to bring conviction and understanding to Noemi so that she could become a child of God through faith in Jesus.



Above: Noemi with church member Orsi. Praise God that she already has a connection with Orsi and will have someone to help her in her first steps of faith in Jesus.



Above: There were also other parents that continued to have more conversations with Dezso throughout the day. Pray for them that the seeds that have been planted in their hearts would grow and that they would continue to be drawn to God.



Above: Erika talking to Janka about the Gospel after she was asking more and more questions in small group today.



Above: Csenge who is also in Janka’s small group was also convicted in her heart and I found out later that both Janka and Csenge made decisions to put their faith in Jesus. Csenge’s grandmother, Edit is already a church member and is serving with us at camp and will be a great support and encourager for Csenge!





Above: Józsi, who became a believer soon after last year’s VBS has been a great servant in this year’s camp. On Saturday, as I returned from playing soccer in free time with a group of kids, Józsi approached with a smile. He said, “I just shared the Gospel with two people!” Józsi was full of joy and so excited that God was now using him to share the Good News with others.



Above: At Sunday’s worship service, Noemi attended with her daughter. Noemi has informed us (with excitment) that she wants to be baptized!



Above: This grandmother, Irén, is the primary caretaker of her grandaughter (in pink) Barbi. Irén was one of our neighbors many years ago before we moved to a different house. She enjoyed VBS and this was her first visit to our church afterwards. She told me afterwards how much peace she felt being with us and that she is now going to begin attending. She said she reads her Bible at home, but it was different with us. She said it was if she could understand it in a much deeper way. Pray that she come to understand that the peace she is experiencing is from the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. Pray that Irén come into a personal relationship with Him and continue growing as she remains in fellowship with believers.

What a great camp! God has done amazing things! Campers Zalán, Feri, Janka, Csenge and one of the parent’s Noemi have put their faith in Jesus. Praise God for the gift of His Son and the grace He has poured out throughout this VBS. Thank you for your partnership in praying for this ministry. Rejoice with us in all that God has done. Here are a few films to give a better sense VBS. Enjoy!
