Kisvárda

Last Friday we spent one more day in Kisvarda to give a talk about sex to students from Catlic High School. It was amazing to see the students and go to see the exhibition. I wrote about the exhibition in my blog two weeks ago. It was socked when I looked it. It represent clearly the gospel. God gave a very good idea to a pastor and he obeyed Him. Praise God for it!

Staff women conference

Two weeks ago our staff ladies spent four days together. We had worship time, we heard teaching about David, we prayed, we had some fun time, too. Our weekend title was Journey of the heart. We heard about a heart of a shepherd,a prepared heart for battle, a diappointed heart, a heart in the wilderness, a choice of the heart. I really enjoyed this some days.

working with Police continue

A young Presbyterian pastor, Laszlo lives near to the Ukrainian border of Hungary and had been using YTL for two years with many students in his city, Kisvarda. He had a desire to share Christ and provide the information given in YTL to every student. His idea was to open an exhibition where the kids and their educators can watch short, eye-opening clips on the topics we discuss in YTL: Family-problems, Drug, AIDS, Why Wait, Friendship, Abortion and the Gospel. Laszlo approached his Bishop and the Chief Captain of the Police in the whole country with his idea. They’ve agreed to support this idea and field-test it in Kisvarda. The Chief Captain of the Police, the Bishop of the Presbyterian Church and many prominent leaders along with many nationwide media came to the opening ceremony on January 11th. We had been asked to partner with them and provide the program. It means that the students and the educators before they can see the exhibition (where the gospel is very clearly and boldly represented to them) they have to come and listen to one of our YTL talk in the city’s Palace of Art. This was mandatory for every students and educators. This gave us the opportunity not just to give talks to over 2,000 students and 150 educators, but also to invite them to Speak Out or to the YTL symposium. This leads to a greater opportunity we’ve every dreamed of: the Hungarian Police and the Presbyterian Church would like to take this opportunity to every high school and campus students in the country and have asked us to partner with them to give the training and talks in the cities they take the exhibition.

Thanks for your prayer!

Thank you very much for your prayer!!! Yesterday, we arrived home. On Thursday we gave a report to the Czech Leadership Team. They were really nice and they accepted our recommandations. On that evening we could go again to see Prague. We tasted the real Czech food, knedli, baked pork and cabbage :)

Prague

Thanks for your prayers. I arrived safely to Prague. It was only little snow. Tomorrow we will starts the audit. We have to give a riport the Czech Leadership on Thursday afternoon. On Friday we will drive home. I work with my collegue, Bela is a Albanian lady who lives in Hungary.

prayer requests

On Sunday I will drive to Prague, Czech Republic to audit their books with Bela (Albanian lady). Czech has a strong Athletics in Action ministry. We will have three days to look through everything and give a riport to the leadership in fourth day (Thursday). Please pray for us to arrive safely by car. It will be snowing. It is about 6 hours drive.

I will attend a women's conference from January 20-23 for all of our staff women and some others who had been invited for this. Pray that this would be a refreshing time for all the women serving with us, especially in their walk with God and in their vision for our ministry.

Working with Police

We'd been asked to participate at a nation-wide attempt to influence youth by teaching them some of our YTL classes. The Hungarian Police officially supports that effort. As a first attempt of this campaign we'll travel next week (11-15, January) to a smaller city to speak to over 2,000 high school kids and than train 150 educators on how to use YTL (this will be a 3 day series of speaking). This campaign carries not just multiple speaking opportunities in schools, but each time the gospel can be represented and students can be invited to events, like SpeakOut camp or our other outreaches. It generates momentum and creates credibility along with an opportunity of representing the Message!
