Above: On Saturday, Miki and I had fellowship with churchplanters from Gyöngyös and a village close to Eger. Leaders from the Baptist's mission in Hungary facilitated our time as we discussed ways in which we could strengthen each other's work by unifying our efforts. It was a fruitful time which we hope will lead to a greater interconnectedness in churchplanting in Heves County (our focus area).

Above: On Sunday morning, I met with Dezső for discipleship. This is one of the most enjoyable times for me as I hear how God is moving in Dezső's heart. We spent time discussing the calling and motivations of a leader in God's kingdom. I have recently been impressed by how Dezső handled a conflict in a relationship with another member. After discussing the Biblical principles for conflict resolution and Christian love, Dezső applied what he learned against his own cultural inclinations to 'just let it be.' This resulted in a continued peace and unity in the body and a lesson learned living out his faith. Please continue to pray for Dezső and his wife Marcsi as they grow in their faith and find their calling in building up the Body.

Above: On Sunday afternoon, we had our first 'Csaladi Nap' (Family Day). Some of you may remember that we often held Kid's Days with a hope to draw entire families, however, only children attended. Upon re-evaluating this ministry, we decided to rename it 'Family Day' and focus on inviting those families we already know personally through our VBS and Pre-school.

Above: We were thankful to see new guests such as Tamara (Above R), and regular visitors such as Andi attend with their children. After Julika dramatically retold the story of Joseph from the Bible to the whole group, we split into small groups for further discussion. We discussed the possible reasons why so many families are falling apart. We discussed the current influence of media and culture on the family. And finally we discussed the solution–Jesus Christ. We praise God for a successful first 'Family Day' and hope that our church will someday be filled with families transformed by His grace and leadership.
