Above: Edina lead the adult Bible study and Hajni did come for the first time (mentioned in previous blog). We talked about how we respond in times of need and how God’s word and His promises have helped us in these times. It was encouraging to hear so many tangible evidences of God’s work in various people’s lives from the unexpected provision of diapers to a poor family, to provision of money for a house for another family in need. I was thankful that Hajni stayed for the entire discussion and study.

Attila seemed to have a great first day at VBS today. He was attentive in class and enjoyed game time (especially playing with Ben).

Above: Praise God that there have been no major injuries througout camp. We are also thankful for none of the kids becoming dehydrated in the hot weather. So far, no kids have had to go home due to sickness or injury and that often happens by this time in camp. Orsi who had an mild asthmatic attack yesterday was completely fine and even played soccer with us.

Above: Church members Hugi and husband Gábor have been such a help at camp. Gábor has been sleeping at the camp grounds to watch over all of the equipment every night. In this area of town, there are many problems with people stealing things. Last year, the fence we installed for camp was stolen soon after camp ended.

Above: Each day, we try to give the kids a little gift to take home. Today it was bubbles. Looks like the leaders are having more fun than the kids.

Answered prayer and praise:

- Máté and Kitti (mentioned in last blog) seemed to have a better day today. Teenager Zoli who is helping us in camp had a talk with Kitti about her behavior in small group time. Kitti seemed to be leading the others into disobedience when the topic was more serious. Later, Kitti told another camp leader how Zoli talked to her and that she decided that what Zoli said was right. It is great to see Zoli having an impact on the way the younger teens think.

- Edina did a great job with the Bible study for the adults. Hajni attended and heard faith stories from various Christians in the group.

- The team had enough strength for the day’s responsibilities

- Dezső’s teaching time went well.

Specific requests:

- Allen is still very weak from being sick. We are halfway through VBS and many of the leaders are feeling a bit fatigued from the intensity of each day. Please pray for healing for those who are sick, rejuvenating rest tonight and EXTRA strength for the new day tomorrow.

- There are a number of kids that are starting to cause disruption in small group studies. Today was one of the worst as far as keeping their attention. Please pray for us as we will lay out new disciplinary actions tomorrow morning and will speak personally to those who are disrupting teaching times. Please pray specifically for those who are ‘acting up’ that hey would come to understand the gospel and put their trust in Jesus Christ for salvation.

- Please pray for Erika who will be giving tomorrow’s main teaching in the morning and Miki who will be giving the closing object lesson.

- Please continue to pray for the proper weather, freedom from injuries and sickness, wisdom in teaching, and for the kids to truly come to understand the verses we have been learning throughout the week.
