Children’s day In Hajdúböszörmény at the Gypsy Church

This Saturday our team of ministers held the Annual Children’s day outreach at the gypsy church. Many people came besides those who attend regularly. We had about 80-90 all together, many new faces. Dani had a short teaching, and than we had games and crafts for the kids. And Ice Cream of course. Our friend and fellow minister, Carol, who has been the part of this ministry since the very beginning, set up a slideshow of the photoes she took. Here is the link, log on and enjoy. Do not forget to pray for the people there to get to know HIM and start walking with HIM. Thank you. Through your prayers you are part of this ministry.

Ministry updates

• Youth ministry is growing. They are really active taking part in diferent ministries. Most of them are attending regularly on Sundays too. Pray for their spiritual growth in every way.

• We are all preparing for the Annual Summer English Camp — 13-19 July.

• A few weeks ago we had 110 people from the Budapest Calvary Chapel doing street evangelism. It was a great blessing for us and for them too. Pray for those who heard the Gospel that weekend and pray that God would make them come to church.

• 3 girls (university students) asked me (Andi) to regularly meet with them and study the Bible together. These times that I can spend with the girls are a huge blessing for me (I pray and hope that for them too).

• It really seems that with time (I do not know when) the Consuming Fire, a book by Brian Brodersen, that I translated will be published. I hope and pray that this book will be useful and will be a blessing for those who will read it.

Tooth fairy again

Well, yes, she lost another tooth. Was not as smooth as the first two, but finally it is out. The tooth fairy brought her a Snowhite dvd for that tiny tooth. Soon we’ll post a picture about her two growing and one missing teeth.  

God is moving–we are moving. Pt. #2

Well, a lot of time went by since I last wrote. Sorry for that. And I will not be able to write about all that had happened in details while I was silent, so I will just state facts.

God is GREAT!!! In every sense. He is bigger than we would ever think. He acts more greatly as we would ever think. He moves in ways we would never think. Why? What happened that makes me say all this? Let’s see…

Using ways we would never thought, God made it possible for our church to buy that property with two separate buildings that we were praying for. We are already paying back the loan, and we are just about to start remodeling one of the buildings. Please pray that the church would be able to pay the loan, and that we would get the permits for the remodeling/building.

As you probably remember in the past period (more than a year, oh, almost 2 years now) we are seaking the Lord’s will about our own housing situation. We wanted to buy our own apartment instead of renting, but it just did not; could not happen. And again, God moved in ways we could not dare to think. According to the plans at the church’s property there is going to be a small, nice apartment on the top of one of the buildings where we could move in, rent it from the church, which will be a help to the church in paying the loan. In return we would be somewhat like custodians of the building. In that apartment we will have a livingroom that will only be a livingroom, something we have never had before (right now the livingroom is our bedroom at the same time). So we will need some new furniture, but we are praying that the Lord will help us furnish it (most probably picking up a loan). There is only one small problem. I will not have a tiny office, not even a corner like now, so most probably we will have to sell our pc and buy a laptop. But that is future. And HE will work ou these details just like HE did it before.

As the work will start we are going to take pictures and post them. Pray with us for HIS leading in the process and for HIS timing. Oh, and for the weather. Right now the church gathers in a big tent on the property. Back to the OT times :)

God is moving – we are moving

Well, we as a church are praying for a church building that could be our own. For that we need to be a good steward of the the church’s money. So we found a place to rent that is cheaper than the old one we were renting, so we could save money on that. Right now we rent that building for the Thursdays and Sundays, for the church services so the Friday night youth group will be at our apartment from now on. We are happy for that. Anytime the youthgroup came over we had a lot more informal conversations, so we could get to know them better. And for me (Andi) being there at the youth group meetings was always hard because of Anna running around, distracting conversations but at our apartment she is home, and she is not interrupting while daddy is teaching, because she is in her own room playing.

We would like to ask you our friends to pray for us, as we have the weekly gatherings at our home, that the Lord would really use us and that atmosphere that a home can give and that after the meeting is over, kids would stay over for a little more time and fellowship. Also, our livingroom is our bedroom also, so because of the big bed, we do not have too much space to have them confortably seated. We are praying and planning to make our living room/bedroom more like a living room and make it to be more more functional. In order to do that we are already saving money and we are planning to sell some of our furniture and buying new ones that are more functional (like couches that could be folded out to make a bed and a guestroom bed). We will let you know how things go and how God moves.
