Ábrahám csillagai

Last weekend the Open Bible Church in Nyiregyháza performed the new musical Ábrahám csillagai (Abraham's Stars).  Some of the youth from Debrecen also took part in the production.  The story, written and directed by Livia Német, one of the leaders of the church, is the story of Abraham from the Bible and was touching and well done.

The performances were held in the church yard on Thursday through Saturday evenings.  The youth went out in the city starting on Monday and distributed 7,000 flyers, personally inviting everyone they saw. Several people came to the performances as a result of their efforts. The weather forecasts, however, were not favorable with rain and wind predicted for all three days of the play.  They all prayed together, however, and even though it rained mornings and afternoons, by 6 pm each day the rain stopped, the skies cleared, and the wind died down.  God answered their prayers.
