Thursday Night Bible Study


Above L: After returning home from pre-school, Ben stalks the Postás (Mail lady) for Thursday’s delievery. Above R: Zoli and Gabi taking full advantage of 'make yourself at home.'

It was a full house tonight with two new guests and of course 'the regulars'. I can think back a year and a half ago when we were not sure if anyone would show up (and sometimes no one came). We praise God for the growth and consistency of this small group, and the way God's word is transforming us together.



For those of you who prayed that Hajnalka would come tonight–she came! We just met Hajnalka on Monday as she was a newcomer to the English program in PetÅ‘fibánya. I was proud of each member who sought to make our new guest Hajnalka feel welcome. It was clear that she was quick to trust the group. She shared her heart openly as if she was with friends. It is our hope that she will also attend this Sunday's service where I will be preaching from John chapter 3.

Péter was our second new guest. We just met him last week (see 1/22/06 blog in archives). Since Péter works in Budapest as a fireman instructor, we didn't expect him to return in time for the study. Surprise–he got off work early. Péter is an encouragement to be with. He was saved just a few weeks ago, however his knowledge of the Bible and ability to apply God's truth to life is great! He requested prayer tonight for peace in a severed relationship. Please pray that God would guide him in wisdom and peace in this tough trial in his life.

The truth about Jesus that we focused on tonight is summed up in John 11, where He says, "I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?"
