Advent and Young People

These are the Advent candles at church last Sunday.  Each of the four Sundays before Christmas, one more candle is lit, so this means there is only one more Sunday left before Christmas.

Last weekend was the Open Bible Youth Conference here in Debrecen.  Young people from the Open Bible Churches and a few others spent Friday night, all day Saturday and Sunday morning learning about Gideon from six different speakers.  They also worshipped and ate together and enjoyed spending time with each other.  Mike was the Sunday morning speaker.  It was a moving service and the presence of the Lord was powerful.  The young people were sent home with much to consider about their own lives and their motivation for serving God.
