English Camp Update

I'm writing from the camp to give a quick update on how the camp has been going so far.
We have 75 kids this year, and I would have to say this is our best organized camp so far. Rosemary and many others have put a lot of work into preparing the practical details of the camp, and it's running like a well-oiled machine!
But of course, that is not all that matters. Our desire is that the camp would be effective and fruitful spiritually, and we see that that is happening as well. Every day we have testimony times, in which the helpers talk a bit about their lives, and of course, as believers the most significant part of their story is how they came to know the Lord, and what their life is like in Him.

One thing we did for the first time this year was to make a table of free stuff the kids can take if they like. On the first day we ran out of New Testaments - and couldn't buy more from the distributor :( - we also have 100 copies of More Than a Carpenter in Hungarian, as well as CDs and Welcome Packets from our church.
Some of the helpers have been doing an Invisible Theater, where they take the kids on a journey through life - from birth to death, using Bible verses. It ends with them reading a verse that whoever believes in Him will live eternally, and the participant is raised from the dead to eternal life. The reaction from the kids is that it is very moving, and it has been running constantly in the afternoons.

We have invited the kids to come with their parents to church on Sunday, usually we do have quite a few kids and their families come out - so please pray for that, that they would hear God's Word, and receive it.

We would also like to start a Youth Group after the camp, and are praying that kids from the camp can connect with that too.

There is so much going on here that it would take forever to write it all down. All in all - it is a blessed time and things are going great.
Please continue to pray for the kids, for the helpers, and for God's will to be done in this place.
Thanks!

Busy Summer

We just got back last night from Vajta, where we were for our annual summer conference with the other Calvary Chapels from Hungary. The conference was GREAT. The topic was renewal, which I believe was really from the Lord, and God spoke to us, and began a work of renewal in many of us and in our churches that was very much needed.
I (Nick) spoke at the conference on the topic of renewal in service, and our worship team lead worship a few times. One of the highlights of the week for us was that Balázs got baptized on Friday, and we were able to see a significant change in his life, and his desire to walk with the Lord.

From Vajta, Andy and Kim Farquarson from Newcastle, Australia are here in Eger right now, and they will be serving with us for the next 3 weeks. Their presence here is a real answer to prayer, and they are real servants, helping us so much in many areas - especially with our English Camps.

Speaking of camps, our Kids Camp starts tomorrow. This camp is for primary school aged kids, and it will be held in our church building. We hope to share the Lord with the kids and their parents, have a good time, and teach them some English. We would ultimately like to see our children's ministry get working again, and hope this will be the start of that.

As far as our big English Camp goes, we have been having more and more sign-ups come in, and are up to 70 campers. We are really looking forward to camp this year, and are trying to cover it in prayer, asking God to do great things in the kids' hearts.

Please join us in praying for these things! Thank you!
