Above L: Our 'low tech' baptismal. Seeing the need for a transportable baptismal setup, Miki and I bought this container last year at a garden variety store. The actual use of these containers are for the process of maturing grapes for making wine.

Above R: Csaba being greeted by a high five from Kira.

Above R: Dezső, Heidi and Brenda.

Above: Andi giving her testimony. She closed with this Scripture:

“See what sort of love the Father has given to us: that we should be called God's children - and indeed we are! For this reason the world does not know us: because it did not know him. Dear friends, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever it is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is. And everyone who has this hope focused on him purifies himself, just as Jesus is pure. ” (1 John 3:1-3)

Unfortunately, Andi's husband did not come tonight to see Andi's steps of faith as God's child in baptism. She has not received approval from the world in this step and opened herself up to ridicule. I am thankful for the boldness God has given her to continue following Him, no matter the cost. Praise the Lord!

Answers to your prayers:

• Jesus Christ was glorified tonight through our worship, the teaching, our prayers and this baptism. There were no distractions!
• Andi's testimony was very encouraging. We had 3 guests who came tonight who do not know Jesus. Laci (who attends our English classes) came with his wife Gyöngyi. It was their first time in our church. I believe the message from Peti and Andi's testimony will only leave them wanting to know more about Jesus.
• Péter's sermon presented clear Biblical teaching on baptism and communicated the gospel clearly.
• Allen was able to facilitate the service successfully.
• Miki's house offered a very friendly environment for the baptism. The logistics worked out great!

Above: Dezső talking with Hajni, who at one time attended our Bible study and worship services. Hajni informed us that she is heavily into the occult. Dezső had an extended time after the service to talk with her about the freedom we can find in Jesus Christ. Please pray for Hajni to realize the futility of following someone less than God (and an enemy to God). Please pray that she would be convicted of her sin and turn to Jesus for salvation.
