HÉHALOM



Above: Arriving in Héhalom on a foggy, ice cold day.


Above: Were were thankful that church member Peti (top right) could join us as he had off of work today.



















Above: Miki has been in contact via email with some of these teachers. In the past, we have had multiple opportunities to share the Gospel with them after our puppet show. Today, they expressed their thanks for various emails that Miki has sent and even brought one film he sent into school to present to their classes.

EGYHÁZASDENGELEG PRESCHOOL

Above: Since the kids were just finishing up their morning snack, their teacher offered us freshly made french toast (Hungarian style) and we gladly accepted. It was fun having a few minutes to eat with and interact with the kids before the show. We heard some seriously funny things from one four year old. For example, “My dad was electrocuted ... but it’s not a big deal.” “My ears hurt a little because bacteria climbed inside of them.”










Miki was able to talk to some of the teachers after our show about why we do what we do. He was able to share that our intent was not to establish “our” denomination in other towns, but to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was able to talk about the non-profit organization that helps equip us with the puppet show materials and how various evangelical denominations work together to share this good news.

SELYP PRESCHOOL



Above: Alina (front center grey sweater) is Peti’s daughter and attends Selyp’s preschool. I’m sure it was exciting to see her dad and also to have a special puppet show today. We’re thankful that after attending this preschool for the first time last year, they invited us back.










VANYARC

After an afternoon break, our fourth show was quiet a distance away in the town of Vanyarc. Visibility conditions were terrible and the roads were spotted with snow and ice. Praise God for protecting us in these dangerous conditions as we traveled today!





Above: Our show in Vanyarc was actually in the local community center and not connected to a school event. One of the teachers who had previously seen our show invited us to his home town where he is a leader in a local organization seeking to draw families together in his village. We were privileged to be the first program offered to the community by his organization that was recently formed. Praise God for this open door and for the many families who attended who were able to hear the gospel.





Praise God that we had a better night’s sleep last night. The girls seem to be doing better and Allen’s headache went away. God gave the team strength to get through the tough schedule of four schools. Thank you for your prayers!

PRAYER REQUESTS:

• We would appreciate your continued prayers for healing of team members and their families.
• Tomorrow we perform in our hometown where kids need permission slips to attend. Please pray that many would obtain those slips and attend the show.
• Continue to pray for Miki who has the bulk of responsibility for leading songs and leading the teaching time at each show.
• Pray that the seeds of the Gospel would take root in a new generation of Hungarians and that God would use the evangelistic materials being distributed for His glory.
