Kisvárda again

Our partnership with the Police and the Presbyterian Church is expanding and leading us to new territories. In the first city (Kisvarda) where we've started to work together, we've spoke to 3,800 students and trained over 250 educators. We've also had been asked to train the Seminary students of the Presb. Church on evangelism. We've spent the last weekend with them at Kisvarda - so we could not just give a training but to show them in practice how it could work. On this picture you can see the last group of students we gave a YTL talk - there were so many that the city had to open the Stadium to fit them in, because none of the school had a large enough auditorium to held that many students!
We had been asked to join into a long-term partnership with the Police and the Presbyterian Church as they seek to take YTL and the exhibition to every major city.

Prayer movement

It's very encouraging for us to see God at work through our prayer ministry. We organized a prayer night in the beginning of February. We praised God, confessed our sins, prayed for our ministry, for the World, Europe, Hungary. We were taught about fasting, and a few students were lead to begin fasting.
Two of our disciples (Zsofi and Emese) lead a religious radio broadcast and two other FEK girls were interviewed about fasting on the show. God lead one of our staff members to encourage other believers in praying regularly for a spiritual change among the Hungarian nation. Last Saturday we began a month long prayer chain for this purpose. We have an online prayer calendar with Bible verses and questions to provoke thought and lead to confession. Also prayer requests for Hungary. Pray that many would be renewed during this prayer month.

Transylvania

Two weeks ago a team of 8 went back to Kolozsvar, Transylvania. Three staff and five students set out from Budapest, Hungary. For four of our students, this was the first time leaving our borders on a mission trip. The goal was to help the campus ministry in Kolozsvár and that our students would get a wider perspective and experience of missions as well.

This trip was paved with God's blessings. Our students took the initiative and boldly stepped out of their confort zones. As a result of it there were about 50 one-on-one evangelistic conversations with hungarian university students. Many came closer to God, two trusted Christ.

About 170 new students came to an outreach on Tuesday night and we were able to contact most of them on the phone as well afterwards. Our relationship with the believers and Campus students in Kolozsvar grew as well that week. It is a special joy for us to have witnessed how much the Kingdom grows through FEK: We had three evangelistic and follow-up trainings, three follow-up meetings, one Bible study for guys, and even an outreach among Romanian students. Another joy was to see students from local churches get excited and boldly step out in reaching other students.

God does have a plan with Transylvania!

Thank you for praying for the ministry there.

Girls and guys day

Thank you so much for your prayers for the girls’ and guys’ day on February 7th. Of course the theme of the conference was about dating. Some of the topics were for example: the role of the leadership as guys, God is the one who satisfies not relationships, how to dress, purity, etc...

As I talked to some of the students about the day, they told me that they heard so many useful informations at the conference. Praise God for that!

Over 50 students came to this event.

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.
