YTL Symposium
This message is not adequate to describe to you the impact of this week and the YTL symposium. We can’t share with you the dozens of meaningful conversations, the hundreds of invitations we’ve received to go to schools and speak there to students. We have received 215 feedback cards from the educators and 94% of them wants to use YTL and need our help in that!
In the past week with the help of 22 Americans (who came to the Bringing to the Hungarian Harvest Project - BHHP) we had this special “celebration” which led to directly impact over 30,000 students and educators. Just to briefly summarize the impact of these here are some statistics:
-150 students came to the campus outreach and close to 200 students came to the high school outreach and have heard the gospel
-at 8 high school assemblies over 1,500 students were listening to a ,,Why wait?” talk and had been invited to an outreach event.
-our team with the help of our guests spoke at over 50 classrooms in both high schools and campuses and invited hundreds of students to the outreaches
-over 4,000 evangelistic SSK’s had been distributed to freshmen on campus
-shared Christ with over 100 students personally
-280 educators came to the YTL symposium, for 222 of them this was the first YTL symposium. Four of them prayed to receive Christ. These educators will teach YTL to more 25,000 students and they’ll show the Jesus dvd to more than 15,000 students in their classrooms. The new 3rd YTL curriculum and dvd that we’ve produced was a great success!
-at 4 dorm outreaches over 130 students have heard the gospel.
But what best describes the life-changing impact of YTL and really motivates us are the changed lives. Here is just one out of the hundreds: "5 years ago I was at a YTL symposium and it had a great impact on me. I've received Jesus Christ there and since than our lives are continue changing, my life along my family's life. The emphasis in my life had been changed, I don't direct my life any more, but I listen what the Lord of my life, Jesus Christ wants to tell me through the Holy Spirit. It was a great spiritual adventure - in a positive way - to get to know this way and leave the old lifestyle. I needed great courage to believe that God loves unconditionally, forgave me and I can trust in Him; I can rely my family's life and my friend's life on Him with hope and faith. Thanks God and for you for this great miracle." - these sentences were written by an educator who came to the 15th anniversary celebration YTL symposium and gives a great example of the impact of YTL in the lives of the educators and students.
Your prayers and support were absolutely essential in the past 15 years! God used your partnership to impact over 500,000 students in Hungary and millions around the World through YTL! Thank you!
