August Update

Greetings from Eger!

This summer has been very eventful and very hot! At the time we are writing this, Rosemary is 9 months pregnant, and only 9 days away from her due date. We are so excited to meet our baby boy in just a few days from now!

Calvary Chapel Eger
We have been so blessed to see growth in the church in the past few months, both as we see people growing in their walk with the Lord and as we see the church grow in numbers.
In July, many of us from the church went down to Vajta for the Summer Conference. It was a great week of relaxing, fellowship, and Bible teaching. At the end of the week 4 people from the church decided to show their commitment to following Jesus by being baptized!
In the next two months we will be saying goodbye to 2 families who have been in the church since we began two years ago. The Winkelmann family and the Kovács family have been a great blessing to the church, as mature believers who have been strong examples for the younger believers, as well as to us as friends. The husbands of these families: Bernie and Attila, have both served as elders in the church, and they will be greatly missed!

Prayer Requests:

• Praise God for the growth in the church!
• Pray for continued growth in the church - that God would build us up and use us in a mighty way to reach people in Eger for Jesus!
• Pray for those who have recently been baptized, that they would grow and be strong in their faith.
  
• Pray for the church as we say goodbye to the Kovács and Winkelmann families, that God would raise up others to be mature leaders.
• Pray for the Children's Ministry - that the girls will be able to handle the kids and do this ministry effectively while Rosemary is having the baby and unsure of when she will be able to do it again.
  

Outreaches:
- In early July, our friend Geof Stimack was in Eger, and presented a lecture in the Eger college/university about the scientific proofs for Biblical Creationism. Despite the fact that school was not in session, we drew a crowd of 65-70 people, and had very good responses, including many people who are interested in meeting with us and studying the Bible.

- From July 30 to August 4th, we held our second English Camp outreach here in Eger. This year we had 50 campers and 15 helpers. Along with the Hungarians from our church, who served by teaching and ministering to the kids, we had great helpers from Syracuse, San Diego, San Jose, and England.
At the camp our method of evangelism is "Friendship Evangelism," where we seek to build relationships with the students, and share the Gospel with them as we also share our lives with them. In addition to the Friendship Evangelism, every afternoon we had testimony times, where each day one of the helpers would talk about their life and how they became a believer. Even though this part of the camp wasn't compulsory for the campers, almost all of them came each day, and each time they heard the Gospel explained very clearly!
The camp was very fruitful! Many students prayed to receive Jesus, and many of them are already plugging into the church. One girl, named Szilvi, came to camp last year as a Buddhist, but during the course of this year's camp decided to become a Christian! Szilvi and others from the camp have started coming to church and worshiping and studying the Bible with us.

Prayer Requests:

• Praise God for those who have gotten saved through our recent outreaches!
  
• Pray for these new Christians, that they would be established in their faith.
  
• Pray for the many people who we have shared the Gospel with, that they would choose to put their faith in Jesus.
• Pray for a great harvest of souls in Eger!

Personal
Right now, the biggest focus of our lives is preparing for the baby! At the time we are writing this, we are expecting him to come any day, and we are very excited. We have (almost) everything in place for the baby to come, and we can't wait to hold him in our arms!
And, of course the baby has already started changing many things about our lives! We've been spending more time around the house, and more time together.
After 2 years of holding the Wednesday night Bible study in our apartment, we have moved it to the home of another couple, Jani and Tünde, to give us more privacy, which we need now with the baby coming.
We've been very blessed by the people in the church, who have been a great help. Girls from the church have been coming over to help Rosemary with chores, so that she can rest.
As we wait for the baby, Nick is taking a break from teaching the Bible studies, and is blessed to have help with that from Shane.
In general, we are really enjoying this time of our lives, and feel completely, absolutely blessed by God!

Prayer Requests:

• Praise God for a smooth and healthy pregnancy!
• Pray for Rosemary's delivery, that it would be easy and short, and that our son would be totally healthy.
  
• Pray for us, that God would make us into good parents, who are able to raise our son well and teach him to walk with God.

Thank you for your prayers and support! Please feel free to contact us; we would love to hear from you.
