Great news and some updates

Great news!  I heard back from Pastor Tibor in Hajduszoboszlo, and he said the youth (and another Tibor, an adult who works with them) are praising the Lord for how well it went during their program at the Reformed church in Kaba on Sunday.  They said the Lord strengthened them in their service, and that they were well received.  They sang and played instruments, gave testimonies and did skits, and there was preaching (by Tibor, I believe.)  Pastor Tibor says they were guests and of course don’t know what happened inside the hearers, but that we can continue to pray that some will come to Christ from what they saw and heard.  Thanks for being a part of it through your prayers!

I took these pictures of the youth group in July of this year so they're a little old, but this way you can see who it is that you're praying for.  These young people - and their leaders - are very talented and have a great desire to serve the Lord.

In other news:  Praise the Lord, A.P. got her residence permit today!   This is no small thing. 

We continue to prepare for this Thursday morning’s Christmas get-together with the students of our outreach English course in Hajduszoboszlo, so please pray that there will be opportunities to share about who the Christ-child was (and is!) 

Carolyn with the beginners' class

Gary with the intermediate learners

 
Holly with the advanced students

A nationwide train strike and strike by airline workers here in Hungary is complicating matters for our team members and others who are trying to travel this week, so please pray that it will be resolved quickly and that everyone will safely reach their destinations.

Thank you!
