On Wedenesday, our hungarian partners in ministry Janka and Csaba visited the orphanage in Selyp/Lőrinci. Csaba is seeking to have more one-on-one time with the teens who are often ridiculed if they are honest about their feelings in a group setting. One of the boys that Csaba met with told him private that he does believe in God. We hope his recognition of God may lead to an understanding of God's gift in His Son Jesus.

Many of these kids struggle with learning disabilities and problems paying attention. Janka teaches a class of kids ranging from pre-school to 7 year olds. She praises God for their ability to pay attention in her last two classes.

On Thursday, we continue to hold two Bible studies. Miki's small group is focused on those who are still seeking or have recently made decisions to put their faith in Jesus. Allen's study is for building up those teens who have already made decisions to believe in Jesus.

Ildiko (teenager Zoli's mother), Attila and Márcsi (Dezső's wife) attended Miki's small group. Ildiko continues to show signs of understanding the gospel, yet continues to struggle with foundational truths. Currently she see's no need to attend church (however the small group is serving to bridge that) and is 'afraid' to read the Bible. None of know the root of this fear, but we do know the one using this fear to keep her from growing. Ildiko has a history of being in the occult, and her background may attribute to her current fears. We hope that you will pray for Ildiko to be drawn to God's gift of His truth revealed in His word. The enemy has used fear as one of his main tactics in this town. Pray with us that his tactics would fail, and that God would prevail in the lives of those who are turning to Him.

On Friday, we held our teen outreach where we play indoor soccer and share a devotional at break time. I was thankful for teenager Gabi S. who helped me translate the devotion for the night via email.
