Hathcocks' prayer update excerpts

Greetings from Debrecen,

Wow! What a great week with the cadets. We are excited by all that God has done this past week. There were so many great opportunities to talk and share with others and thankful for how the group was so willing to share and do whatever is needed. So many seeds planted on campus and many that were watered by words of encouragement and time spent with people. One example is a guy we met last Fall, "R," who Darrel and others were able to talk with. He later wrote Darrel and said that since the time he met Darrel and a visiting doctor that he has randomly met others who keep telling him about Jesus, so he would like to talk with Darrel on Monday. God at work, drawing people to Himself. We will continue to see the fruit of this week in the days to come.

Please continue to pray!

• Pray that R. will meet Darrel on Monday and that he will surrender his life to Jesus.
• Monday night discipleship time, there is a possibility of some new students joining us, pray that they would come and that God would continue to put a desire in their hearts to know Him and to grow in their relationship with God.
• Wisdom for Darrel and I as we prepare to teach and encourage those whom God sends to us. We would be faithful stewards of the people he has brought into our lives and how God is at work in their lives.
• There is an incredible openness in Darrel's class that can only be explained by a lot of prayer. Several from the Air Force group last week had opportunities to share with students. One young man came to coffee house.
• The student J. is still in the midst of spiritual battle. Pray that he would surrender to God.
• The Air Force Academy group that was here, that these students would see how God has worked through them and be encouraged. They would be faithful to continue to minister to those on their campus.

Thank you so much for your prayers!

Blessings,
Kimberly Hathcock

Greetings from Debrecen,

So thankful for God's timing and how He provides the things that we need. We were blessed to have our friend Brian here with us teaching on Spiritual Warfare. He had the opportunity to talk with leaders in the church, the youth, and a group of leaders from several different denominations. We all learned a lot. Darrel's class continues to go well and we are thankful. A group from the Air Force Academy will be with us this week. They will mostly be talking with students on campus and in some classes. We are excited to see what God will do!

Please pray:

• Those that were able to hear the teaching this week on Spiritual Warfare will see practical ways that they can apply what they have learned to themselves as well as helping those they minister to.
• Divine appointments for the Air Force team as they meet with students. They will be spirit-led in who they talk to and what they are sharing. God's work would be accomplished on campus and in the lives of students.
• Wednesday night as Darrel teaches, that God would give him wisdom in teaching and that people will see Jesus. The students would respond to the Holy Spirit as He draws them to Jesus.
• The girls and I would continue with school in excellence and to persevere.
• God would give me the ability to speak Hungarian as I meet with our sweet neighbors "I" and "P" for conversation. They are not Christians, so pray that we will have opportunities to talk about spiritual things.

Thank you!

Blessings,
Kimberly Hathcock

Brown family newsletter excerpts

From Browns' newsletter - January to March 2015

Saturday, March 28, Érdliget church will host a children’s concert featuring Pinter Béla and are inviting children grades 1-5 from the school for this special event. Pray that the Lord will use this event to help church members connect with families in the community and share the hope they possess in Christ!

Three weeks

Because the larger school building will be renovated this summer, changes have been made regarding this summer’s camp plans. Instead of 120 kids, grades 1-8 for two weeks, there will be three weeks of camp limited to 60 children each week.

1st week: grades 1-5 . . . . . June 22-26, 2015
2nd week: grades 1-5 . . . .  June 29-July 3, 2015
3rd week: grades 6-8 . . . . . July 6-10, 2015

Tailored focus with less stress

All three camps will have a sports theme where the children will learn teamwork, crafts, songs, games, English vocabulary and recreational activities that teach biblical principles, build friendships and are fun. The first two weeks will be tailored to younger children and should allow for more interaction with the children and their  parents. The third week will focus more on the abilities and interests of kids, ages 12-14.

Fellow helpers warmly welcomed!

Do you enjoy coaching kids in sports and fun recreation games? Or interested in helping children learn some crafts? As a native English speaker, how about having fun using games & group activities helping children learn English? Do you like to sing, play a musical instrument? Pray for these three weeks of camp. Share this with your church. We’ll be glad to speak with anyone interested in serving with us during any of these three weeks.

Thanks!

Greetings from Debrecen,

We are so thankful for the people and groups that will be joining us in ministry over the next couple of weeks. Thankful that the logistics of the next week has been worked out and we are excited to see what God will do in the lives of people this week. I had several good conversations at coffee house and was able to share the gospel with some students. Yeah God for opportunities to share the hope we have in Jesus. Darrel's class continues to be open to discussion and the students have commented about how different this class is from the others. Praying that they will see Jesus in his life and others who help teach the class.

Please continue to pray:

• Our friend Brian, as he teaches on Spiritual Warfare, that those who come will be encouraged and better equipped to minister to others.
• We would be faithful stewards of the students that God sends to us. God would use us to accomplish His purposes in their lives.
• Safety and divine appointments for Darrel and Brian as they travel and talk with people.
• It seems that many of the students we talk to are in the midst of life changing decisions and they need to hear clearly from the Lord. They also need peace and are under a lot of stress. Pray that they will be desperate for God and depend on Him during this time.
• A group from the Air force Academy will be coming next week, pray that they will allow God to prepare their hearts and for the divine appointments they will have with students while they are here. Praying that those they will talk to will accept the gift of salvation.
• Pray that we will keep our eyes on Jesus and glorify the Father!

Thank you so much for your prayers!

Greetings from Debrecen and Happy Women's Day!

"This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," I Timothy 2:3-4 

As I was praying, I was reminded how God desires all men to know him and to know the truth. Darrel's class went well with some great discussion. Keep praying that they will know the truth. God continues to bless the Monday night discipleship groups. The men are catching the vision to invest their lives in others whom God has placed in their lives. Awesome!

Please continue to pray:

• God would continue to draw these students to Himself in such a way that they know it is the one true God.
• As the students on Monday night see those whom they need to disciple that they would be obedient to follow through.
• The Holy Spirit would direct our conversations with those whom he places in our lives this week.
• We have someone coming this weekend who will teach next week on spiritual warfare. Pray for wisdom as we plan the best time for him to teach to encourage the people God wants to equip.
• Wisdom and patience as I wait on God to heal my back. There seems to be progress but I still experience pain although not nearly as bad as before so I am thankful.

Thank you for praying for us this week!!! We are thankful for you and your willingness to pray for us and the things that God is doing in Debrecen.

Blessings,
Kimberly Hathcock

Greetings from Debrecen,

Wow, what an amazing week! The two pastors from the states, Scott and Adam,  did a great job encouraging men to be leaders in the church and the importance of discipleship in the life of every believer. God brought the men to each of the meeting places and it is so neat to see what God is doing in the lives of men in Hungary. We had a great time on Monday just sharing about how God was working in our lives.

Wednesday night two students from Darrel's class met with him for coffee and they had some great conversations. Please keep praying for these students! Last week we prayed for spiritual conversations and God answered our prayers...Yeah, God!

Language lesson with our neighbors went really well. God is helping me speak Hungarian.

Praising God for all of you who are praying for students in Debrecen.

Please continue to pray:

• The men who participated in the teaching time this week would be obedient to the things that God has revealed to them. That they would see who it is they are to invest in and disciple.
• God would direct Darrel as he prepares for class. Last week they talked about character and integrity and it is interesting how people approach the subject of character and what it means to them. Pray for wisdom during the class discussion and for people who God is at work to continue the discussion after class.
• The girls and I will be on campus talking with students, pray that God will send those whom he desire for us to talk with and for opportunities to share with those who are not believers.
• We have several non-Christians coming to coffee house, pray that we will have the opportunity to share the gospel with them in our conversations. Pray that we will also have encouraging words for the believers who come.
• D., a student who needs to know Jesus. His dad has a high position in the community in his home country.

Thank you so much for praying this week.

Blessings,
Kimberly Hathcock
