Please pray for this opportunity and lots of moms can come. Participate in a ministry where we try to reach unbelievers is always a privilege for me, because God gave me this calling lots of years ago.

Thank you for your prayers! Please keep lifting us up to the Lord! Your partnership in our ministry is absolutely essential!

Lili one month old

I can't believe Lili was born exactly month ago. She is a very cute little girl. She lives the babies' everyday life: eats, sleeps. She is more and more awake. It is visible that she starts getting to know us and the first smile we obtained it from her. Although this smile does not necessarily mean that she gave us conscious J. God spoils us with Lili totally, because she sleeps six hours long in one time. The truth that we did not think it would happen with our child, but we enjoy it J. Here are some photos from her.

The story of Gergő

„It all started in late October 2013. Just another ordinary, average day at the university. Then around 6 pm someone called me. At first I hesitated because I didn’t know the number, I was exhausted and didn’t expect a call from anyone. But I answered. I had no idea my life was about to change forever. It was Gábor from FÉK and he asked me if I wanted to meet him to talk about God over a coffee.

‘Well…sure!’

The reason I said a yes was simple: I was curious. I was raised as a Catholic but that didn’t change the fact that my knowledge about God was very-very limited. I went to church every Sunday, said a quick prayer before going to sleep and sometimes asked for His help. I haven’t even read the Bible. Not even the New Testament. Then Gábor and I started to talk about what the Bible actually teaches us about God. So I started reading the Scripture. But I had many questions; I needed guidance, I needed reassurance. I needed a Savior. When telling him about my concerns, Gábor was just smiling and said enthusiastically: But you have a Savior! You need guidance, you need answers? Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and you get guidance you get answers, you get an eternal life in Heaven! Just put your faith in God’s grace!

That’s it? Faith? I’m saved by just faith? By grace alone?

Turns out, I am! – Ephesians 2:8-9

Now, more than 6 months later I can honestly say I’ve never been happier. Since that day in October I’velearned more and more about my personal relationship with my Heavenly Father. He keeps teaching me through His Word and I can talk to him through prayer. I’m truly blessed how much my Father cares forme and my family. If we had met a year ago and you had told me that by the time I’m 20 I’m done with all the partying and drinking, my constant anxiety is nonexistent, and I’m truly happy in the Holy Spirit, I probably would have told you: that’s not happiness when you are 20 and in college!

Well, it is. How can you not be happy when you know you are saved? How can you not praise your

Heavenly Father when you know you are blessed in His Spirit (Galatians 5:22) and you have an eternal life in Heaven? And how can you worry when Jesus told you: “Do not be afraid, little flock, for yourFather has been pleased to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)

This is my story. I’m forever thankful to my Father for meeting Gábor and all my friends at FÉK.”

How God used the Internet to find an 18 year old?

Marci is an 18 year old student graduating from High School. He is a brilliant young man pursuing an academic career. One day as he was surfing on the internet he came across an advertisement. "Does God really exist?" - was the title of it. This ad pointed him to our new evangelistic website that we've developed a year ago (www.everystudent.hu). That website has many personal stories of students who found hope in Christ. Also, it's full of apologetical articles proving the existence of God along with an explanation of the Gospel, an opportunity to ask questions and request a personal follow-up. We advertise this website through various ways. That's how Marci has found us when he was surfing for something else. He clicked on our ad and was marveled by what he found there. He contacted us through that website and asked questions. After trading several emails, eventually he made a decision to commit his life to Christ. Some weeks ago he also came to our bi-annual YTL Student Retreat. (See him on the picture above in the white shirt.) It's truly amazing how God can use various means to reach people with the good news! Marci's story is just one out of the hundreds whose life had been touched through this website. Our staff and volunteers are corresponding with over 2000 people who expressed a desire (through this website) to get to know God. Daily we get dozens of emails saying things like this:

• "When I thought that I'm loosing everything that I have achieved in life, that's when I came across your web and started receiving your letters! I'm getting my hopes back that God cares for me."
• "Your letters are very important to me because I live at a remote area where I don't know anybody with whom I could talk about Jesus."
• "These letters I receive from you are giving me great peace. It's great to know that God still loves us."
• "Thank you for patiently listening to me. I can't wait to receive the next letter from you. Everything you wrote was full of truth and gave me great comfort."

Blessed Easter!
