Above: Tonight, Petőfibánya is holding elections for local government in the room we rent for church. We were thankful that they allowed us to use a larger room in another area of the building. I was thankful for Dezső, Csaba, Laci and even Gabi S. giving testimony about what God was teaching them through the week. I was especially proud of Gabi as he shared the change of heart he had when serving in the orphanage on Thursday.

Dezső is a manager of a team of workers who are responsible for producing motors for machines such as dryers or washers. Over the last few weeks, God has opened up continuous opportunity for him to witness at his workplace. Dezső was full of praise to God, as two of his work mates were saved through sharing the gospel. Unfortunately, these two people live some distance from Petőfibánya and it would be difficult for them to attend our church (we still hope they will visit). Please pray for Erika and József, that Dezső would have opportunity to disciple them, and that they would grow in their faith. Dezső told me that a third workmate, Péter is very close to making a decision to trust in Jesus. Péter has come to realize that he is stuck in sin, and his lifestyle is empty of true blessing in the heart. Péter said to Dezső, "Now that I know these things, maybe it would have been better that I never found out the truth." Please pray that Péter will respond to his conviction of sin and find the forgiveness, and love that God offers through a new life in Jesus Christ.

Above: Tonight's service was a combination of preaching and small group prayer and discussion. I was encouraged to see members praying for one another. Tonight we focused our discussion on what it means to love as Jesus loved.



Above: Elianna totally entertained with her balloon after the service. We are thankful for Janka serving as our children's Sunday school teacher and coordinator. We have a core group of kids that attend weekly (including ours of course) who continue to be blessed by her teaching of God's word.
