Highlights from Last Week
This morning's baby dedication |
Last Sunday Mike preached at the Open Bible Church in Debrecen. His great message (you can listen to it online by visiting Mike's Facebook page) was followed by a baptismal service. Four people from Ibrány were baptized and five from Debrecen. Two baptisms were especially touching. Pastor Róbi Szabó was very proud to baptize his thirteen-year-old daughter. And then some of the strong young men helped a man from his wheelchair into the baptismal for his baptism. He testified that he had been a Christian for several years and was so happy to finally be baptized. There was a great celebration that day (you can also check out Mike's facebook page for pictures).
On Thursday, we were invited to a different home group than the one we usually attend. János, the host, said that he wanted us to come to talk to a visitor from America. One of their regular attenders has a daughter who lives in America and who was home for a visit. János was expecting them to be at the home group on Thursday evening. They never did make it to the meeting, but we had a wonderful time talking in Hungarian with and praying for the other people who attended. One of their questions had to do with why it was important to attend church, and Mike answered the question from Scripture. We were very pleased to see some people from the home group who do not regularly attend church this Sunday at the service.
Also this morning there was a baby dedication. It doesn't matter what language is spoken, when a young couple presents their new baby to the Lord, it is always precious.
As we make final preparations to be in the US for a few months, we are savoring the sights and sounds of Hungary and our friendships here. See you soon, American friends and family! We're looking forward to coming back, Hungarian friends!
