Szihalom Children's Program

Last Saturday we did a Children's Program in Szihalom, and it went really well.
Quite a few kids came out - many more than we've ever had at any of our children's programs we've done in Eger.

I think that part of the reason is that there is never anything going on in villages, so when there is a program like this, everyone knows about it and everyone comes out. In Eger there is a lot of stuff going on all the time, and its hard to get the word out about a program like this. In Szihalom, we just print out a few posters on our printer, and within a day, the whole village knows about it and is talking about it!

The other day, I went to Szihalom to meet with Balázs's head master (he still goes to school in Szihalom every day), and as I walked down the hall, everyone knew who I was, because we've made a reputation for ourselves in the village!

We're glad about this open door in Szihalom, and are praying for the Lord's will and direction in what to do, and how, in the future.
In the mean time, here's a little video we made about the Children's Program:

Weds. Night Bible Study Changes

Our officially started our church back in March of 2005, and at that time we started studying the book of Genesis on Wednesday nights.
Just last Wednesday we finished the last chapter of Deuteronomy, meaning that we finished studying through the entire Torah. It only took 3.5 yrs :)

And tonight, we begin a new book - the Letter to the Hebrews - in a new location; as of tonight our Wednesday night Bible study will be at the Kálvin Ház - where our church office is, and where we have church on Sunday mornings.

Until now we had been meeting the apartment of Jani and Tünde, which was a cool element, I think it will be a good thing for us to be in the same place for both services - not to mention that their apartment was getting a bit small for the Bible study, and we hope that having it in a more public place, downtown, will also attract others to come, especially college students, who might have been reluctant to go to someone's apartment.

The time of the study is also changing from 7pm to 6pm.

Please pray for us as we make these changes!
