Exciting Sunday

Last Sunday was an exciting day for two reasons.  For the last couple of weeks, a gypsy lady has been coming to our gate, asking for money to help feed her kids.  I gave her a little money and a little food a couple of times and she kept coming back.  I knew her coming wouldn’t stop, so every time she came, I said I would not give her any more money until she came to church with me.  Last Sunday she surprised me by showing up at church with her two smallest children and sitting with me for the entire service!  She was warmly greeted by everyone and said she enjoyed the service.  She admitted that she was not ready to give her life to Jesus yet, but she did say she wanted to come back next Sunday.  Please pray for Anna Maria.

Another reason Sunday was an exciting day was the testimony of one of our INSTE students.  Sunday afternoon we drove the hour and a half to Tomor with our friend Zoli who helps in the class.  The INSTE class went well, even though Zoli had to leave halfway through to talk to the teenagers who gathered outside the classroom.  After class, as we were taking Dezső and his family home, Dezső said that he noticed that INSTE develops people and that he himself was being built up.  Even though finding the time to study is hard, he does not like to miss a day of INSTE.  For some time, he had been looking for and hoping for something that would help him learn about God, and INSTE is just what he needed!

Praise God!  Days like these are days of rejoicing!
