YTL is 20 years old

We were celebrating the 20 years of YTL with a special educator's symposium and with series of student outreaches.

After the Iron Curtain failed God opened a remarkable opportunity for us to reach multitudes of students and educators launching a ministry we now call "Youth at the Threshold of Life". The humbling start of YTL led to an accredited educational tool and to a ministry that is widely use in and beyond Hungary. As we look back to this two decades we are humbled to see how God has used YTL to reach hundreds of  students and educators with the gospel. We not only saw God using YTL to expose multitudes to the gospel, but we saw Him raising up hundreds of Christ-like laborers as well!
We have devoted a week to remember this milestone between September 29-October 6. 24 Americans came and spent this week with us to maximize the evangelistic opportunity we have in the schools because of YTL. We went with them to more then 100 classrooms in a week and invited hundreds of kids to some of the special outreaches we had during the week in dorms or at YTL weekly meetings.

We ended this week with a special jubilee educator's symposium held between 4-6 of October. We've invited some special guests and about 120 educators to this YTL symposium. The most memorable moment of this week-end-long educator's symposium was when we had a 45 minutes interview with those who started YTL: Dave Robinson, Dr. Denes Banhegyi and Gabor. (It's a missiological mystery of multicultural effectiveness how God brought together and used an American and a Hungarian missionary, and a Hungarian non-Christian doctor to develop a ministry that serves the society and is also an effective vehicle for the gospel.) Dave and Gabor have prepared several new talks to deliver at this jubilee symposium focusing on new aspects of youth problems (i.e. internet addiction). But as always in the past 20 years, the gospel was the same as Gabor and Dave have shared the saving message through their personal stories on Saturday night extending an invitations to all the educators to make a personal step of faith by confessing their sins and inviting Jesus Christ into their life! We've asked the educators to give a written feedback about the personal stories and the gospel they've heard. The responses were overwhelmingly encouraging and 5 educators expressed that they've made a decision on that night and gave their life to Jesus! We are just always absolutely amazed how God is still using after 20 years these symposiums to touch lives. Gabor has prepared a short video that highlights some of the memories of the 20 years in 5 minutes.
