Tourists in our own town


We decided to take a little time this summer to be tourists right where we live. We have always admired the Nagy Templom (Great Church) on the main square downtown. This is the home of the Reformed Church in Hungary. Many Hungarians in this part of the country are Reformed (Protestants) while most in the western part of the country are Catholic. We learned that a church has stood on this spot for almost 1000 years, but this building was erected in the 1810's and 1820's. It is a great big church, seating 3000 people, but the pews are arranged in a cross pattern so that no one is a long distance from the front. The best part of our tour was climbing the west tower (the one on the left in the picture. We were in the dark dome just below the clock). There are many steep, narrow stairs, but the view of the city of Debrecen is fantastic. We have posted a picture taken in each of the four directions. While we were up there, we asked God to pour out His Spirit on this city and this country. Would you take a moment now to ask God to do so, too? Thanks.
