WE’RE EXPECTING!

Above: We rejoice in the life God has given to our new child who is just 10 weeks old. It is always an amazing sight to see a baby’s heart beating for the first time through ultra sound. Sharon has gotten through the first 10 weeks without severe morning sickness. Please pray for her and for our new child!

VBS JUST DAYS AWAY!

P1060809

Above: Moving a recently cut trunk off the main site for our VBS this year. With it’s weight surely close to a half a ton, it took some ingenuity to get it rotated to be pushed in the right direction. Praise God for giving us wisdom in putting it just where we wanted it without anyone getting run over.

P1060826

Above: We spent most of our week preparing for various aspects of VBS. We are thankful for those who came out to cut, chop, rake, and remove dangerous remnants from this year’s VBS site.

Above: Even Timi (far left) from our English Bible Study came out to help in the 90 degree weather!

P1060888

Above: Teenagers Niki and Norbi practicing motions for songs in this year’s VBS. Norbi made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ last week and has been pouring himself out in helping us throughout this entire week. He has helped clean up the camp site, practiced motions to all the songs for camp and has just been an all around blessing. Norbi was sharing with me how an old friend began to ridicule him online while they were chatting saying, “I can’t believe you are hanging out with ‘them’ now.” Norbi’s old circle of friends that he has broken away from after choosing to follow Jesus are into a lot of pretty bad stuff. Norbi responded, “I’ve chosen to follow the Lord and it doesn’t make a difference what you think. I have a whole new family.” His friend asked, “Who?” Norbi resonded, “The Church”. Norbi proceeded to warn his friend that the path he continued on would lead to prison. Norbi said that in his new life, he is no longer sitting around wasting his life doing terrible things but enjoys being involved in God’s work. It is very encouraging to see more evidence of God’s Holy Spirit doing a work in Norbi’s heart of transformation. Please pray for continued steady growth in His faith and a deep hunger to know and live out God’s word.

KIRA

P1060955

Above: Tonight, while Ben and Elianna were running around like wild animals smacking each other with balloons, Kira came close to me and said, “Daddy, I’m going to pray for Mr. Miska... O.K?” She proceeded to fold her hands together, lower herself to her knees and bow down and began praying. Miska is a neighbor who is very advanced in years and does not know Jesus as Lord and Savior. These kind of moments are just priceless.

PRAISES:

- Unity on the team and volunteers that truly serve with joyful hearts unto the Lord.
- Sunshine for the days we had to clean up the site.
- Less work compared to past years in preparing the grounds for VBS.
- Over 50 kids registered and ready to come on Monday!

VBS PRAYER REQUESTS:

- Please pray that God would give us healthy bodies to serve next week (Dezső and Hugi are feeling a bit under the weather.)
- Pray that those serving would have peaceful nights of rest and feel refreshed each morning.
- The first day (Monday) is always tough with registration, and putting into action what we have been preparing so long. Please pray for wisdom!
- Pray for God to bless us with weather that allows the kids to be outside the various times we have planned (the building we are in is not big and can get cramped when it rains)
-Pray that children may gain an understanding of the true God and His Son Jesus Christ through this year’s VBS and not be deceived by the lies they hear in their culture and through media.
-Pray that children (over 50 kids) and parents may be saved.
