A serious new issue has come to light at the church plant in Tiszafüred, and we ask for your prayers that the truth will come to light, that we and the group will have wisdom and unity in dealing with it, and that Satan will not be able to use it to hurt the group or anyone in it. Pray that God will get the glory in the situation and that His redemptive hand will be seen.
Also continue to pray that the one who has been spreading false teaching will come to repentence, and that seekers and new believers will not be drawn away from the truth of Scripture.
Several of the members of the group--some new believers, some seekers--have been going through tremendously difficult times in their lives. Pray that the Lord will use these times of testing to bring our friends to a strong faith in Christ, and that He will bring them safely through the trials. Some issues that they are facing that need your prayers: grief over the death of a mother and deaths of friends, a sense of spiritual oppression and darkness that has stolen a new believer's peace and rest, broken family relationships, desparate need of a job to provide for the person and their handicapped daughter, and fear for a grown child's future (they have taken a step of faith and burned some bridges). Praise the Lord for the spirit of openness and transparency that has allowed the group members to share from their hearts, to weep together, and to lift each other up in prayer.
Even though it has been very painful, it has also been a joy to see our group trust one another enough to drop the polite masks that so many of us wear. Praise the Lord for how He is working!
