Above: This morning, at Miki's house, we had a meeting with leaders from the Baptist Church in Hungary. We gave them an update on the progress of the church being planted in Petőfibánya. Although we are relationally related and supported by two baptist churches in Hungary, our church is not 'officially' (legally) recognized as such. The meeting today is part of the process of being officially identified with the Baptist Church of Hungary.

Above: Our Friday night sports outreach. We had more kids come than ever tonight, possibly because of a mid term break in school. I can't say that more was a good thing, as it was very difficult to keep things 'in order'. In the time where I share the gospel, there were so many NEW kids that I felt like I was talking to the wall as the chatter, giggles and intentional attempts to distract increased. When I closed the devotion in prayer, I could only feel sorrow as the majority of the NEW kids just scoffed at His Word. However, I also sensed His great love for them and His desire for them to know truth. Please pray for these teens to seek the One who loves them.

Our teammate Heidi had an opportunity to meet with one of her students, Jutka. Jutka is a teacher in Petőfibánya and has yet to stay after for our second hour of English Bible study on Mondays. Last Monday, Heidi was able to talk to Jutka and she shared how we are viewed as a sect because we are not Catholic and there is no church building. Tonight, Heidi was invited to meet with Jutka (at Jutka's house-a big deal!). Heidi discovered that Jutka knew church member Dezső years ago, and has noticed the change in his life since he has become a Christian. Jutka had nothing but good things to say about our English program, and our organization. Please pray that the cultural concepts that keep Jutka from stepping into our church would be changed. Pray that Jutka would come to trust us as we follow Jesus and that she would come to put her faith in Him.

Our teammate Brenda also had an opportunity to meet with some of her students from Jóbágyi (10 minute drive from Petőfibánya). She was able to meet their family and give Monika a lesson on business English. Please pray for this relationship to deepen and for opportunity to share the gospel.

Some of our other students like Feri, and Hugi have said that they would like to visit our church service on Sunday. Please pray that God would lead them to follow through on their desire to come this Sunday.
