Salt and Light - October 8

Greetings from Debrecen,

Thanking God because Andre's wallet was found at the Budapest airport! Yeah, God! It was encouraging to see people who were eager to learn apologetics this week. The guys did a great job teaching and sharing with others. We trust that God's work was accomplished. Thank you for praying!

Please continue to pray:

• The people who came to the training, that they would have opportunities to share with others and use the things that they have learned. God would give them boldness to share with others.
• God's work among the students in Debrecen. God would create a hunger in the hearts of students to know Him and to share Him with others. Those who are not Christian would be convicted of sin and know the forgiveness that comes through Jesus.
• The city of Debrecen, that the leaders would honor God and that the people would fear God and realize their need for a relationship with Him.
• God would heal J's heart and that she would know how valuable she is to God.
• We would be a faithful witness to those who God has placed in our lives. God would give us divine appointments to share about Him.
• This has been a difficult time for our family in many different ways, pray that we would see God's provision for us and our daughters and the ability to trust Him.

Today is Arianna's 20th birthday!

*I will be traveling next Sunday so I will not send out a prayer note and maybe the next Sunday as well.*

Salt and Light - October 1

Greetings from Debrecen,

Thanking God for His unconditional love. Last week we said good bye to some friends from the States, and we continue to press on. The young lady we prayed for last week, "E," did get the job! Yeah! Thankful for how God continues His work. This week we have two people from the States who will be teaching the apologetics course. Please pray for the pastor who planned on coming as well but his 19-month-old son was bitten by a copper head. Please pray that he will recover without any complications. Also one of the volunteers that did come cannot find his wallet. Praying that some honest person will find it and turn it in. I think God is really going to do something this week so pray for this equipping time.

Just a note. Yesterday the girls and I were on our way to meet Darrel and the guys from the States for dinner when we decided to get off at a different stop from the tram. When we got off I was thinking that we were early and what were we going to do, and when I looked up Darrel and the guys pulled up in the car at that exact moment. I know this is small, but God reminded me that His timing is perfect! I mean perfect. Be encouraged!

Please pray:

• God would speak through Donnie and Andre as they teach this week at the apologetics conference. Pray that God would send the people who need to be there. Also as they go out during the day on Tuesday and Wednesday that they would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and the appointments that He has for them to share their faith.
• I learned that today is Nigerian Independence Day. Pray for the students from Nigeria that they would know the freedom that comes in Christ. The person I talked to said that corruption is one of the biggest problems facing his country.
• "I," a Hungarian young man, that he would keep making the right choices and that he would grow and depend on God more and more.
• "G," a medical student, as she faces discouragement, that she would see the hope she can have in a relationship with Jesus.
• "C" is a basketball coach at the Reformed High school. Pray that she will be a light and will have opportunities to share her faith.
• "N," that she would make wise choices and God would give her a desire to know Him above all things.

Thank you so much for your prayers!

Salt and Light - September 24

Greetings from Debrecen,

Thanking God for His protection and how He takes care of everything that we need. We are glad that Darrel has safely returned and that seeds were planted in the lives of "K" and "I". God is working around us and we are thankful for the opportunity to join Him as He draws people to Himself. It is exciting to see God working in the lives of students.

Please continue to pray:

"D" and "A" as they begin teaching an English Bible study, that God would send just the right people and that He would give them wisdom as they share God's word.

In a couple of weeks we have a team coming to teach apologetics, pray for God to stir in peoples' hearts a desire to share the Gospel and to know why they believe what they believe so they can encourage people towards the truth. Also for divine appointments with unbelievers and opportunities to practice sharing what they have learned.

Girls would be diligent in their school work and the ability to understand the things they are learning.

Darrel and I would clearly hear the Holy Spirit as He speaks to us throughout the day and follow His direction. We would not miss any opportunities to tell others about Him and encourage others.

"E," a student and my language helper, would have peace on Wednesday for a job interview. She would get the job, if it is God's will.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
