“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.” (Romans 12:1) Dave hall (pictured above left) and the Worship From the Nations team challenged us toward living out these words. Today we held a special day of worship, with guests from Budapest, Pásztó and Gyöngyös.


Above L: A leader from Pásztó shares his desire to see a small group started in his village. Next to him, Jonatán, praised God for the breakthroughs he saw in 2005 in the church plant in Gyöngyös. Above R: A focused time of prayer for Gyöngyös, Pásztó, and of course Petőfibánya.


Above L: Dezső and Attila join us in this day of worship. Above R: Csaba with Ádám after hearing a powerful gospel message preached. Please pray that Ádám would choose Christ and be transformed by His grace.

One of the goals of Worship From the Nations is to equip worship leaders in church plants. It was great to have three men from our church who have expressed interest in worship attend today (Dezső, Dávid and Gabi). Maybe someday soon they will become worship leaders themselves in this growing church.



Above L: No, that’s not ours. Sharon is holding Alina, Eszter’s newborn baby. Please pray for Alina who may have a possible health problem. Above R: ‘Long time no see’ Viki who is on a break from college attends service tonight and reconnects with Heidi. Some of you may remember that Viki made a decision in an English camp two years ago. Please pray that God would continue to draw her close and build her faith.

Below: Mop Squad. God has blessed our church with these young men who gladly serve behind the scenes. Gabi, Dávid and Csaba. Gabi was the first to come and the last to leave. Dávid shared with me his progress in preparing a short message on what he is learning from God about prayer. I have asked him to share in church in the near future. Csaba recently asked Miki and I to commit to teaching him more about church planting. We are currently mentoring Csaba and have hopes that he will become a faithful leader in the future.



UPDATE ON MIKI: Before worship service, I accompanied Miki to the hospital. It turns out that he has a broken bone that can not set properly without surgery. He had surgery today at 3:00 and will be in the hospital for a few days (why-I have no idea). Please lift Miki up in prayer that his finger would heal completely. If it doesn't, this could hinder his ability to lead our worship as he will not be able to play guitar. He was disappointed that he couldn't come to this special day of worship that we had planned for weeks. He is also disappointed that the new relationship that we have developed with Dezső (practicing worship together on Saturdays) has been put on hold. I believe this is an attempt of the enemy to destroy the great things that have been happening for God’s glory through worship. After spending $250 on a repair just days ago, Miki’s car has broken down again (different problem). Please pray that God would provide a dependable vehicle for Miki and his family.
