When we do evangelism blitzes here in Budapest, we give thousands of students an opportunity to respond to Jesus Christ. The outreaches consistently generate around two thousand students who say, “Sure, I will sit down with you and talk about a personal relationship with Christ.” The harvest is plentiful yet it is the laborers who are few, so said Jesus in Matthew 9.
This is your chance to help out in the harvest field! Please come in September and help us pass out thousands of “Student Survival Kits” on college campuses throughout Budapest. You will also help us begin the follow-up process for those who want to talk more about Jesus. Additionally, you will get to know the Hungarian students and staff who are burden for their country for the sake of the gospel. As well as you will get to know one of the most beautiful cities in Europe! Make plans to come now! More information soon!
Other news: From mid-February through March, EB and I are either in the States or are hosting groups and friends here in Budapest. We will be at a missions conference at our sending church in Atlanta and then March are a series of evangelistic blitzes here in Budapest. Our ministry will be hosting groups from Michigan and Orlando, as well as several other friends and visitors, as we work together in bringing the gospel to thousands of Hungarian students.
Late March will be also be our Hungarian training for our "Youth at the Threshold of Life" teacher's symposium. This training is world-wide now in over 53 countries; it began 10 years ago right here in Hungary. This training has put the gospel in thousands of classrooms across Hungary and because it addresses the critical issues of youth in western society (abstinence, drug abuse, family breakdown, and positive self-image), it is fully credited and endorsed by the Hungarian government. During each training, hundreds of Hungarians teachers attend, are trained, hear the gospel and many respond by placing their faith in Christ! It is truly a God-blessed ministry!
As you pray for these outreaches, please pray for our family that we stay connected and not neglected. We have said NO to some good ministry opportunities lately because we knew it would bite into our already whittled-down family time. Yes, our kids give us great joy and they are growing quickly; yet not always with the gentleness and ease that we had hoped.
Thanks for loving us and for making it possible for us to be in the mission field over here in Hungary. We need and love our Savior; we need you also!
Matt
