Financial Woes

Things are tough everywhere right now, and we are feeling the impact of the global economic crisis here in Eger as well.
A lack of jobs in Eger has always been a problem in the church, and we have had to say goodbye to many people over the last couple years who would have liked to stay in Eger, but because of lack of job opportunities.
With the economic crisis, people who work at some of the multinational companies and factories in Eger have been losing their jobs. We had 2 more people lose their jobs this weekend, and there are others whose are in danger of being laid off.
Despite these difficulties, the church is continuing to grow, which is great to see. It is kind of like a revolving door - there are always people coming in and going out.

• Please pray for Erika and Jani, that they would be able to find new jobs, so they can stay in Eger.
• Pleae pray for Dani and others who are at risk of losing their jobs.
• Praise the Lord for the growth in the church, and please pray for a great harvest of souls in Eger!
  

Farewell Bódis Family!

Yesterday at church we prayed for and said goodbye to the Bódis family - Mihály, Ibolya and Dávid.
They have been in our church for the past year, and have been a great blessing and encouragement to our fellowship. As older believers, they were examples for the young people in the church of what it means to follow the Lord with faithfulness and commitment.
One of the hard things in Eger, is that it is hard to find work, so many people who would like to stay end up having to leave for this reason. This was the case with the Bódis family. Finding jobs is a constant pray request for people in our fellowship.
Mihály was the director of a mine in a village outside of Eger, which suddenly closed a few months ago, leaving him out of work. He looked for work around Eger for a few months, but wasn't able to find anything - only a job in Szekszárd, almost 300 km away from Eger, on the other side of the country.
The Bódis family will be missed!

Please pray:

• For the Bódis family, as they move - that God would lead them to a good church in Szekszárd, that they would make friends and settle in quickly to their new situation.
• For our church - that God would bring more families and older people into the fellowship
• For others in our church that are out of work - that they would find work in Eger, that God would provide for them and lead them
  

Prayer Request: Jobs

In general in Hungary, it is hard to find work outside of Budapest.
This has been a problem we have faced continuously over our past few years in Eger, as we have said goodbye to people from our church who have had to move away from Eger to find work.
Right now there are quite a few people in the church who are qualified, have degrees, but yet are out of work.
Please pray for these people, that they would find work in Eger, so that they can remain here and be part of the church:

• K. Judit
• Mihály
• Kati
• Marianna
  
• Nóri
• Timi
