Left: “Ben, did you build that?” “Well, I build the walls, but Elianna built the floor.” We enjoy seeing our children bonding as brother and sister. Below L: After Bible study with Zoli and Gabi, we helped move some goods into Heidi's new residence in Petőfibánya. Heidi will be officially moving into her apartment on friday and will be serving full time with our church planting team. Zoli, Gabi and I had a great discussion on practical application of God's word. Zoli came with the mindset that it was O.K. to lie if the intent is to help someone else. After exploring this world view and contrasting it with God's way, it became clear to Zoli that it is better to do what is right, and trust that God will work out the details that follow. God blesses obedience, but there are always consequences when solving problems in the flesh.



Below L: Janka and Edina at Miki's house. Edina shared a few weeks ago that she felt very convicted of her sin. We hope that this conviction will bring her to see the awesome gift of Jesus which is freely available to her. Please pray for her salvation and for the salvation of the other teachers who visit this group from the local pre-school. Below R: Ildiko (Zoli's mother), Márcsi and Dezső. When I stopped in to take some pictures, I told Ildiko that I had a great conversation with Zoli (her son) in our study. She said it is hard for him to open up to her, but she is excited that we are able to have deep conversations. Zoli has told me on multiple occasions that I am like a 'fill-in' father to him. Many of these teens, including Zoli and Gabi have no fathers at home to give them guidance in life. I am thankful that the guidance that I give does not come from my own knowledge, but from God's word. I trust that His word will bear fruit in their lives.



Tomorrow, we will perform our first puppet show in our hometown-Petőfibánya. This town has consistently been the hardest to gain an audience and to perform in out of all the public schools we visit. Please pray for children and parents to respond to the poster invites, and that we would successfully present the gospel with clarity. Please pray especially for our team members:
Heidi: Feels like she is coming down with a cold
Janka: For wisdom as she shares the gospel after the puppet show.
Allen: Strength and wisdom as he also facilitates a teenager party in Petőfibánya after the puppet show.
Miki: Rest and physical strength. Miki has not been able to sleep well for weeks now as his son Bence has trouble sleeping through the night. Please pray that he would gain rest through the night and be refreshed for Friday.
