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.
