VBS Day 4 Update

Eszti continues to send updates from Hungary’s VBS in the town of Petofibanya. Here is her latest report:

“Today was full of surprises. It had already begun raining last night and it really started pouring with lightening and thunder this morning around 7:30. Because of the weather, we couldn’t make our journey from the meeting point at the community center to the campgrounds. Praise God that we were able to use a large room in the community center where we held the morning program with singing and teaching.

Eniko (above) did an excellent job explaining the Gospel and talked about the names and character of God and sin and forgiveness. After the teaching, the rain stopped and we headed off to the campgrounds with the kids. We were able to complete the day without anymore rain.

In free-time, Peti’s knee twisted while playing soccer. He didn’t go home, but he was limping and was not able to lead the afternoon games and Gabi filled in for him. Please pray for healing. We continue to see positive change in Andor at camp but there are habits and ways of thinking that he continues to need help to change. Last night, Arni held a special cookout for his teen group. He reported that things went really well.

Ruben, who is attending for the first time as a camp worker from Budapest, gave his testimony to the teens. Ruben has been a true servant in this camp toward the kids and we’re thankful to God for his help. Ruben continued his story in the teen’s small group today. Teens, Eszti and Kinga, who have attended this VBS since they were children, stayed afterward to talk more to Arni and Margit. Pray that they would come to understand the love of God and the gift of Jesus.

As we began the afternoon games and crafts outside, stormy weather returned with downpour. Praise God we were able to pack up everything. After the afternoon drama and singing, the rain stopped again and we could safely walk back to the community center for the kids to be picked up.

Tomorrow Zita (pictured above) will be teaching the main session and we ask for prayer for her and the other small group leaders.”

This is a time in camp when strength is needed to finish strong. Please pray for the team in Petofibanya to be refreshed and have the strength they need to bless these kids in this unique opportunity. Thanks for you continued prayer support!
