Encouraging Events


This morning we were encouraged by a visit from János Papp (A leader from the Baptist Union in Hungary). We were able to share the highlights of how God was at work in PetÅ‘fibánya in 2005.

Later, from 5-7, we met together with some of the growing teenage believers. Dávid, Gabi, and Milán attended our weekly discipleship study. We focused our time on studying God's word in such a way that we apply it to our lives.


Dávid (above left) shared with us that he wanted to visit a friend in Budapest that he has known for some time. Unfortunately, his friend is a devil worshipper and is also using heroine. He wanted to share the gospel with her and encourage her. Dávid said that prior to tonight's meeting, he wasn't sure which Bible verse to share with her about true happiness. When he arrived to study tonight, he was amazed that we were in Psalm 1 that spoke about the way of true happiness. He said, "Now I have a verse to share with her."

I was most encouraged when Dávid spoke up after our time of closing prayer. He turned to the other two teenagers and said, "I used to think when we prayed together that I wouldn't pray out loud because I could do it later at home. But God taught me that He is glorified when we pray together. Even if it is a short prayer, or a prayer of praise, it glorifies God." Wow! Praise God for working in Dávid's heart and teaching him the value of prayer and evangelism! Please pray for Dávid that he would become an effective evangelist to those in bondage to devil worship and drugs. God saved Dávid from such things, and now He is sending Dávid to rescue others with the good news! Praise God!



After our discipleship study, we were off to our sports ministry. We usually play indoor soccer, and basketball in the rented gym in the local public school. However, tonight when Miki tried to unlock the door, the key broke (above). Ooops. Plan B, let's pack in Allen's car and hang out at Miki's house.



I believe that a major part of building trustworthy relationships with these teens happens here. Many of these teenagers heard about church through this sports outreach. Many of them have heard the gospel for the first time in their lives in break-time between games. Please pray for the young men who still have not made decisions that they would be drawn to the Truth and find a new life of hope and peace in Him.
