Pray for Speak Out!!!

Although SpeakOut camp is 6 weeks away, it's already obvious that we are looking at the largest camp ever.

• 159 Christian volunteers (46 of them are American volunteers) signed up and went through the qualification procedure to serve at the camp. They dedicate a whole month and raise support to be able to serve at SpeakOut.
• Already close to 300 non-Christian campers signed up to come to the camp when we are 4 weeks away from the registration deadline.
• We will be sending teams from the camp to Albania, to Romania, to Slovakia and to Siofok (another city in Hungary).

Why is it so significant?

These days the most valuable assest people have is TIME! Life is so busy, people are distracted with the things compete for their time and they are less and less willing to dedicate even short hours to ministry in churches or missions. It is outstanding that 159 Christians volunteer dedicate a WHOLE MONTH to serve with us and they are willing to raise money to cover all their costs! Why so many are choosing to serve with us at SpeakOut when in Hungary this project requires the greatest commitment both in time and in finances? Why is it that year-to-year more and more Christians (students and adults) are willing to make that commitment? It is an evidence of God's abundant grace choosing the nobodies and the insignificant. We are humbled and scared by this responsibility!

Pray that every volunteer would be able to raise their support! Pray for health for volunteers and the campers. Pray for the thousands of personal gospel conversations we will have.

"I'm not ashamed" -story

In Romans 1:16 Paul says that he is not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation. We've recorded (and continue recording) short (max 2 minutes-long) stories of people who had been saved through YTL because there was someone (a staff or student) who boldly initiated toward them and clearly explained the gospel to them. These stories represents people who were coming from non-Christian background and without a bold, initiative Messenger they wouldn't get saved. We are launching this story-telling series (titled "I'm not ashamed") to encourage Christians not to be ashamed of the gospel because it is the power to save and change people's lives. 

Spring Retreat

We had great weekend with 130 students at the Lake Balaton. Our speaker was Keith Davy, topic was: walking in the Spirit.

Student Summit

When I was a student 15 years ago, there was a plan to collect all the student leaders from Eastern Europe to worship God together and gain momentum to go on with our calling of fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commission. It took 15 years, but the “dream” came true:)

A few weeks ago we had our first Eastern European Student Summit! Almost everything was done by students, and more than 300 of them came to Hungary to worship, pray and brainstorm how they could be the leaders of reaching their peers for Christ. The students shared their vision, their heart for God and their creativity to reach Eastern Europe and Russia with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Many students said that the conference changed their lives and their view of God and missions. Please pray that God would make sure that they don’t forget this and really do commit their lives to serve Him – even as full time missionaries in the Harvest!

Purple Day

One thing I notice with youth is that the standard for holiness is becoming more and more blurred. And now, I am talking about those students who strive to walk with God.

They are so powerfully influenced by the spirit of or times, that their criteria to make their choices, especially those that are relational choices, is not solely based on God's standard. They are so strongly influenced by the „emotionalism" and individualism of the day.

So, that is why we have the PURPLE DAY every winter. A day to try to set it straight. It is a day devoted to talking about dating, sex, marriage, character, holiness, roles, boundaries, principles, blessings for a whole day with students. We talk to them through talks, through seminars, through panels, and small groups. And at the end of the day, each student will be hosted by a family for dinner, and a family room, in a home, through a relaxed conversation.

Please pray with us, that God’s will could become a

little clearer for many!

Happy and Blessed Easter!
