Debrecen Visit

Over the weekend the two of us drove five hours to Debrecen, Hungary for a couple of days of ministry.  Friday and Monday we took care of some Inste business and on Saturday and Sunday Mike preached in four Open Bible churches.  We also did a little shopping and picked up a couple of items that we have not found here in Romania yet.  We had a wonderful time seeing our friends and enjoying the presence of the Lord.  Praise God for those who were filled with the Holy Spirit over the weekend.  Here are a few pictures of our trip.

Julicska neni listening to Mike speak.  She is 94 years old and told us she made a special effort to come to church to see us Sunday morning.  She is such a sweet, godly woman.

The small church in Nyiregyhaza received us with much joy and enthusiasm

Good news came this weekend, too.  Pastor Misi Gulyas announced that Open Bible Churches in Hungary is once again recognized by the Hungarian government as an official denomination.  That recognition has many benefits including eligibility for special financial programs.  The church has been praying for seven years for this status to be restored.  Praise God!
