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:

Clothing Drive
Yesterday, our church did a clothing drive in Szihalom, a relatively poor village near Eger. There are some people from Szihalom in our church, and God has opened some doors there for us to reach out to the village.
This is the 3rd year we have done a clothing drive here, and each year we have been able to provide more clothes, had more people come, and been more effective in sharing the Gospel message along with the free clothing.
More and more in the church, we see that people have a desire to serve and to do things for others - and this is good fruit, and the evidence of the Lord's work in their lives.
Please pray for the village of Szihalom - that God would bless these people and that they would come to know His great love, and that He would show us what our part as a church is in that.
Please also pray for the Children's Program we will do in Szihalom on Dec 6.
Here are some pictures and a video from the clothing drive:

First Service in New Location
Today was Pentecost, and it was also our first Sunday in our new location.For a long time we've been praying that God would open up a door for us to move the church downtown, so that we could have more visibility and be closer to the heart of the city.
Well, God has opened a door for us to go into a great place right downtown. Its an office building that is owned by the Reformed church, and it has a big hall upstairs which holds 150. It is perfect for a church - its already furnished with chairs, a stage, spotlights, grand piano and all, and it gives us room to grow.
Our first Sunday there went really well, and we just pray that being in this location will help us to reach the city and bring more people into the Kingdom.
One of my personal favorite things about this place is that when I'm preaching, there is a big picture of John Calvin right behind my head!
Here's a video to give you an idea of what the place is like:

Intelligent Design Presentation Outreach
This past Thursday we organized an outreach here in Eger with our friend Geof Stimack, from Denver, doing a presentation about the scientific proofs for Intelligent Design and Biblical Creation.
We've done this outreach before, and always drawn big crowds from the city; this time was no exception, as the hall was packed with both Christian believers from local churches, as well as many non-believers who were just interested in the topic. We had a whole group of kids from a local high school come, where some of the youth from our church study. They mentioned the presentation to one of the teachers, who recommended that all the students should attend! Praise the Lord for that!
This is a great way to do outreach in Eger, because people here pride themselves on being cultured and intellectual, so they love to come and listen to lectures. This topic is also very powerful, because if we can prove from science that there must be a creator, then the obvious question is Who is this creator? and Why did He create me?, which are natural ties in to the Gospel.
