Pentecost Weekend

Pentecost Sunday and Monday are national holidays in Hungary, so yesterday the Debrecen Pastor's Circle (a fellowship of several churches from different denominations in Debrecen) held a special joint service.  The point of the service was to worship the Lord together, pray together, and seek to hear from the Lord.  There was standing room only in the auditorium and people were seated in overflow rooms also.  A worship team composed of musicians from the different churches led in wonderful praise and worship and several of the pastors shared very briefly from time to time what God was speaking to them.  We also prayed together for the "gate keepers" of the community and for revival in our own hearts as well as in the city.  The service was amazing and before we knew it three hours had passed.  The pastors finally had to tell the people to leave since everyone just wanted to keep praising and worshiping the Lord.  We are looking forward to hearing amazing testimonies about what is happening in Debrecen.

On Pentecost Sunday, Mike preached at the Open Bible Church in Debrecen in the morning and in Gavavencsellő in the afternoon on changing our focus from the temporary to the eternal, from self to the Kingdom of God.  In both places the sermons were well-received and followed by times of dedication and prayer.

We are coming close to the end of our time in Hungary and are treasuring all the time we are able to spend with our Hungarian brothers and sisters in Christ.
