Above: This morning, we held our bi-monthly Family Day outreach. We were thankful for the above visitors sitting to the right of Heidi.
Above: Andi and her son Milán (with rolled up paper) also enjoyed Family Day with us. Andi works in one of the two preschools in Petőfibánya, and attends our church. We are praying for her husband, that he would also be drawn to God. Would you pray for their family?

Above: After hearing about Ruth, we broke into small groups-one for adults and one for kids. Our teammate Brenda prepared questions which facilitated great discussion. Two of the visitors, (mother and dauther above center) shared about how they came to visit this day. The mother works at the same place as Julika (our teammate), and after hearing over and over about the things Julika was involved in, she asked if she could come and see. I believe this day was more designed for her than for the kids. In our time of discussion, it was clear that she is being drawn to God. Julika will continue to have opportunity to reach out to her tomorrow at work. Please pray for her!
Above: Andi returns later in the day to our worship service with her son Milán.
Above L: Péter preached tonight about the necessity of faith in Jesus, even when we face 'giants'. Above R: Péter also brought his nephew who gave his encouraging testimony about turning to Jesus after spending time in the world and finding it empty. Péter is an elder in Miki's sending church: Budafoki Baptist. We are thankful for this Hungarian church's constant encouragement and support.
Above: Dezső also shared about what God has been teaching him through a time of testing. A few weeks ago, everything was going smoothly in his life, and he was growing in his faith. Just a few weeks ago a series of struggles and tough times have seemed to multiply. At one point in the week, Dezső said he wondered what was going on. God led him to the conclusion that it is easy to talk about faith when everything is going well. But will we also cling to God and praise Him in the times that are tough? I am so thankful for these lessons being learned by Dezső as we continue to train him for the challenging future role of leadership. Please continue to pray for him and his family in this time of testing.
