Hathcocks' prayer update excerpts

Greetings from Debrecen,

We are so thankful for a full week and being able to follow through with some plans that we have made with others. It was also a lot of fun. Arianna had a great trip to Germany and enjoyed serving. After P.T. the cramps in my legs have almost gone away! Sometimes I feel like God wants us to be an advocate for the people that He places in our lives and we have met several different people this week.

A funny story about chocolate sprinkles at Coffee House. Last week we brought chocolate sprinkles, which is a common treat on buttered bread, for those who live in Holland. God sent us two people whom we have never met before from Holland to the Coffee House. I know that this was not a coincidence. It taught me to never overlook the small things that God asks you to do because it all fits into His plan.

We were also blessed to have some international students come to our home to cook. We had such a good visit with them and had some great conversation. Thank you for praying...!  Our neighbors have offered to let us cook pizza in their outdoor oven and so we did yesterday. They are in their seventies and we are not sure that they know the Lord but they are open to doing Bible study. So many people to pray for..........

Please pray:

• A new friend shared that he was on a spiritual journey and Darrel shared a brief testimony with him so we continue to pray that as he searches after God that God would draw him to Himself.
• "R," a waiter from one of our favorite restaurants. He is on the fence spiritually and needs to let go of his old life and fully give his live to God.
• That God would soften the hearts of our friends who are of another religion and speak to them in such a way that they know who He is. Also wisdom for several of us who have been sharing with them. 
• A neighbor couple, that God would continue to put a desire in their hearts to know Him, and wisdom for us as we pray about how God wants to use us to encourage them.
• Saturday we will celebrate Thanksgiving with a mix of our American friends and some Hungarians. Pray that our friends would see Jesus in our lives and want to know more about Him.
• "A," a young man who has a heart to reach others, that he would see who God is sending him to disciple and take the first step.

Thank you so much for praying for us!

Blessings,
Kimberly Hathcock

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!!!!

Cobbs' prayer update excerpts

We’d appreciate prayers for the Nigerian students that we’ve been working with on Fridays since August and for the study we have started in our home on Sunday afternoons. We continue to pray for sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s leading when we’re on campus. We are praising Him as He has provided a number of divine appointments....

We pray for boldness and wisdom as we share God’s gracious gift of salvation through trusting the Christ as Savior and Lord. We pray that those in our discipleship class will truly obey the command of Matthew 28: 19/20 and boldly share their faith; actively looking to disciple others. We pray for believers everywhere that they will not have a blind spot to the necessity of true, Biblical discipleship.  We pray that churches, as they boldly teach the truth of God’s Word, will NOT miss the importance of training their flocks as committed disciples for the Kingdom.

Thank you for your continued prayers and please, let us know how we can pray for you. 

Blessings,

Bruce & Debbie

Greetings from Debrecen,

What an amazing week!!! God is at work at the university. Dr. and Mrs. Blair with Darrel had some incredible conversations with students on campus. The faculty at the university were incredibly open....

We saw God's hand in leading us to a physical therapist in Debrecen and it seems that he is also a believer. The Wednesday night discipleship time went great and it is so refreshing to see people who really want to grow in their relationship with God. We also had some great conversations at Coffee House which we hope to continue.

Please pray:

• God would continue to grow the seeds planted this week among the students and faculty at the university.
• Dr. and Mrs. Blair would reflect and see the hand of God in their work this past week and be able to share with others about the things God is doing.
• God's timing in meeting with some international students that we hope to meet with again this week.
• Another student who is close to knowing Jesus. Pray against distractions and that he would be willing to trust God.
• Wednesday night discipleship time that students would come with teachable, obedient hearts.
• Arianna as she travels back from Germany on Monday. Wednesday she will be with another student at the University for a kind of a high school student day. Pray that she will have opportunities to share about her faith also that God would speak to her about what He wants her to do in the area of school.
• This week I will officially start physical therapy. Pray for wisdom for the therapist to know the best treatment plan. Sometimes I get spasms in my left leg which are painful and scary. Pray for God's continued healing. Dr. Blair was a huge help in the area of pain and I am so thankful.
• My dad as he is having several medical procedures done, that God would strengthen and heal his body.
• Please pray that we would keep our Focus on God!!!

Thank you so much for your prayers.

Blessings,

Kimberly

Greetings from Debrecen,

We are thankful for this week and all that God is doing. We had a good visit with the doctor and he thinks that I am healing normally and that some nerve pain is ok and should get better. I will start physical therapy and hopefully see more improvement.  We are looking forward to seeing how God arranges the time that Dr. Blair and his wife will be with us this week.

Please pray:

• Dr. Blair as he lectures this week and meets with students, that he would be sensitive to God's divine appointments and to have the wisdom to respond to them.
• Safety and joy in serving as Arianna goes to Germany this coming weekend to serve those who are planning a youth conference and to practice her German. God would encourage her and speak to her heart.
• Darrel as he preaches today that God would use the things he says to encourage our church during this transition without a pastor. Our church would also see this time as an opportunity to grow.
• Wednesday we will start a time of discipling students, pray that God would draw whom He wants to come and they will come with teachable hearts.

Thank you so much for your prayers.

Blessings,

Greetings from Debrecen.

We are thankful that we serve a God that is the blessed controller of things! We are so grateful for the time John and Sue have spent with us over the last two months and the impact that they have had on so many people.  This week we will travel to Budapest for a doctor's appointment. I can't believe that it has been six weeks since my surgery. We are seeing progress and are hopeful. This Saturday a doctor from the states with his wife will arrive and he will have an opportunity to give a lecture on campus and meet with students. His wife is an educator and will have opportunities to meet with students.

Please pray: 

•  John and Sue as they travel back to the states that God would make his next steps for them clear and that He would continue to work through them. 
• Wisdom for our doctor in his assessment of my back and what would be his recommendation. 
• Clarity of our minds and His enabling as we study Hungarian. 
• The doctor and his wife would have many opportunities to share their faith. 
• Wisdom for us as we see God leading us to disciple students on Wednesday nights. 

Thank you so much for your prayers!

Blessings,
