Above: Earlier in the week, Ben and Elianna had a general checkup and they are completely healthy. It was funny to see Elianna get a shot. I don't even think she winced (she's a tough girl). Ben needed two shots, and he also did an excellent job taking them both at once. It helps the kids as they anticipate the tattoo band-aides that they receive after the shots.

Above: Meeting with Gabi (L) and Dávid (R) for thursday night's discipleship study. On thursday night we talked about how God equips His children with spiritual gifts for the purpose of building up His church. I also discussed our vision for church planting and my greatest desire to help them grow in their faith. It is my prayer that these young men mature in the knowledge of Christ and begin living out their specially designed roles in the local church for God's glory. Please pray for them.

Above L: Our ministry mobile feels like a tank traveling up the steep hills in Petőfibánya. Above R: I am blessed to have the support of Miki, Dezső, Zoli and Gabi S. every morning in prayer. We travel every morning to what we call "The Mountain of Prayer" spending time in God's word and of course in prayer. We have already experienced the blessing in this time as we have been strengthened spiritually and seen direct answers to our requests.

Above L: A few years ago, Oliver (above L) used to come to children's bible studies with Miki and Erika. The teenage years hit, and he disappeared. Our only contact with him is through the sports outreach. Please pray that he would have a change of heart and realize His personal need for a Savior. He is one of the few kids that actually was given a chance to hear the gospel as a child through Miki and Erika.

Above R: Milán was saved last year, but has fallen away from our fellowship. I was thankful to see him tonight and expressed that I was not angry at him, nor did I ever want him to feel that the members of the church would be judgmental if he returned. I believe there are barriers to his returning in his personal life. Please pray for a change in his heart and an understanding of God's love and desires for his life.

Above: God opened up an opportunity with the above two guys as we took a break in the shade (it is HOT here). I asked them if they believed in God. And through this question, we were led to talk about eternal life and the assurance one can have about heaven through Jesus Christ. As their curiosity was sparked, I invited them to church on Sunday. Please pray for these two young men (Bence above R-I don't know the other's name) that they would be drawn to 'check out' service this Sunday. Pray also for Tamás and Béla-two other guys that I played soccer with and later invited to church.
