Speak Out 2013



At the end of July the "SpeakOut 2013" ended with great blessings and success beyond our hope. We had a great 4 weeks long camp with American tutors, Hungarian volunteers and Hungarian non-Christian students. The Americans served toward non-Christian campers, the Hungarian Christian volunteers did beach and street evangelism. We had 32 Americans, 2 Ukrainian, 2 Bulgarian and 76 Hungarians in the project and 268 campers in three weeks.





In the camp were many activities like American Culture Night, Sports Day, Staff Hunt. We had a gospel night where we shared the gospel in Hungarian. In conversations, morning classes and personal group time the American students could share the gospel and their own testimony. The Hungarian students did surveys on the streets of Keszthely and at the beach around Lake Balaton. Through the last 3 question of the survey we had many conversations, and we could share our faith easily.

Numbers are very inadequate way to summarize the camp, but represents at least some of the impact of the camp.
·        We sent teams to 5 cities in 3 countries.
·        Over 268 non-Christian campers came to spend 3 x 1 week with us.
·        Our student volunteers approached over 2,710 students at those cities and offered the opportunity to discuss about Christ.
·        Almost 1,400 students have heard a personal gospel presentation from one of our student volunteer or staff.
·        78 students indicated a decision.

Please pray for the follow-up of the Speak Out camp - that most of the 78 converts would become remaining fruit.

Wedding


We had a wonderful day on June 22nd. I started the preparations early morning: hair-dresser, make-up, dress-up with my girlfriend. I did that usually a bride did in her wedding day. Norbi arrived just after we finished dressing up and we went to make some photos in Gellért Hill. There is a nice view from here to Budapest. When he saw me first time in wedding dress, he was so impressed :) He was so handsome :) Firstly we had a civil ceremony in the City Hall. After it we went to our church. The church ceremony was really-really blessed for us. Our pastor compared the marriage to sailing. It is an amazing journey, but sometimes there are storms and days without wind. We would have wonderful days, like our wedding day, bu we would have mostly normal, week-days. After the church ceremony we invited everybody to simple refreshment in the church building. At the evening we had a dinner with our family and with some close friends. We really enjoy our wedding day! We could just pay attention to each other and not deal with any organization questions. We got a lot of help from our friends. Our Lord blessed us with His lots of gift and we feel we are His gift to each other. Please pray for our relationship and marriage!
