Friday Night Party

March 03, 2006

Tonight we held our monthly party for the teenagers where we play games, goof-off, and also spend some quality time in the word and in prayer. Gabi, one of the first to show-up, was excited to share that he read through the entire book of Matthew today in his free time. Praise God! He also asked, "What does it mean, or why did people call Jesus the son of David?" Instead of giving a complete answer, we directed him to find out who David was in the Scriptures. Please pray that Gabi's faith and wisdom would grow as he studies God's word.

In our break time, I asked what was the first word the teens thought of when they thought of God. It was encouraging to hear words like, "Provider, love, powerful, gracious, friend." The majority of these teens that came tonight have already made decisions to put their faith in Jesus. Ádám brought someone new tonight: his friend Samuel (pictured below L). I am always encouraged to see that the teens want to bring their friends to these outreaches. Closing in prayer, I asked the teens to give thanks to God for the word that they shared earlier in the discussion. It was great to hear them giving praise to God for his wonderful attributes and qualities.

Tomorrow we will hold a special time of prayer for Kovács György. I know many of you are already praying for him. The latest test results reveal that György's cancer has moved into his lymph nodes. György is on the verge of completing a book seeking to equip church planters throughout Hungary. Please pray for his healing and that he and his wife Zsuzsa may be blessed by the comfort and hope that only God can provide.
