Difficult conversation today - UPDATED

First an update on Gary's trip to Romania and the meetings that we asked you to pray about.  The Angel Wings meeting went well, PTL.  Gary will be helping with the foundation strategy and planning more, as well as mentoring future leaders for the work there.  Six of the young people from that area will be using their energy and talents to make for smoother and more effective ministry and for a stronger evangelistic emphasis.  All of this will take a lot of the burden off of Pastor Edmond, as the president of the foundation, allowing for growth in the foundation and its programs.

The meetings that Gary had hoped to have with representatives of the Convention of the Hungarian Baptist Churches of Romania didn't happen on this trip, but hopefully he can get together with them before too long.

Now for today's main prayer request...this afternoon (10 a.m. CST) Gary and I and Pastor Csaba will be having a difficult but necessary conversation with someone.  A real problem has been going on for a while now with someone who was formerly a very regular member of our church plant in Tiszafured, and we believe the time has come to try to talk it through with the person.  Please pray for wisdom, clear communication, and for emotional, spiritual, and relational healing.  May the Lord's name be glorified in all that is said and done.
====================
UPDATE:  The meeting that we had that afternoon was very difficult, as we had thought it would be.  Nothing seemed to be resolved, but we were able to bring a needed message to that home.  Please continue to pray for the person and the whole difficult situation, and that the Lord will ultimately be glorified in whatever happens. Thank you!
