Hungarian Election

Sunday was election day in Hungary.  Yes, elections are normally held on Sundays, not during the week.  The campaign was hard-fought and there were flyers in our mail box every day, messages on Facebook and continual political discussions on the media.  But the campaign season is limited to two months, so it was over quickly.  Hungary has a parliamentary form of government with a prime minister, so the party that wins the most seats in the parliament chooses the prime minister. 

The party that won, Fidesz, has been in power for eight years and has supported Christian values, families and economic growth.  Their campaign slogan was "Hungary First," and they oppose illegal immigration and "sharing our country with others who do not support our culture and values." 

Please join us in prayer for Hungary, that God will direct her leaders to do what is just and right for all the citizens and that God will bring a great spiritual renewal to the entire country.
