Salt and Light - January 7

Greetings from Debrecen,

Thank you so much for faithfully praying for us this past year! God has carried us through this last year and he will continue this year as well. We see God at work in Debrecen and we are thankful.

We had a wonderful visit with Arianna and her friend from school, Abigail, as well as a friend and co-laborer, Sarge. We hosted several events where we had believers along with our lost friends come together. There were opportunities for Jesus to shine through our lives as well as with our words.

Please pray:

• Our daughter Arianna is serving in Southeast Asia until the 14th of this month. Pray for protection and for God to work through her in sharing Jesus with others. The team would see God at work in the lives of those around them and to have courage to follow His leading.
• My friend "M" has an opportunity to work at the University. This would be an answer to prayer! Pray that she sees it as God providing this for her and that He would give her the job.
• "I" took the second part to his medical exam and is waiting for the results. Pray that he will see it was the true God who took care of him...
• "O," an Egyptian young man that God has brought into our lives. Pray that God would open his heart so he can see and believe in God.
• The seeds planted in the lives of our lost friends at the different gatherings we had over the holidays, that God would send other believers to water the seeds and that they would grow in faith in God.
• We would focus on the Lord and be faithful to the things He wants us to do.

Thank you so much for your prayers,

Kimberly Hathcock

Salt and Light - December 10

Greetings from Debrecen.

God has a plan! So glad! Thankful that Darrel's exam is over and the results are in the Lord's hands. It will be another month before we get the results. We are excited about having Arianna with us for Christmas! We are blessed! We had the opportunity to worship in a school where the teachers and other workers from several different schools gathered for the first time. A friend of ours was preaching and a lot of people accepted Christ. It was exciting to see God at work!

Please pray:

• Peace in Israel--the city of Jerusalem and the people who live in Israel have become dear to us, so we ask for a miracle that only God can arrange in His way and His timing. 
•  University students taking exams, that the stress and pressure would cause them to seek and depend on God and that He would bless those who trust in Him. 
•  God would give Abigail and Sophia the ability to learn the subjects that are hard and to get caught up with their classes. They would not stress out but trust the Lord to help them. 
• God would prepare Arianna's heart as she gets ready to go to Southeast Asia. 
• Wisdom and discernment to see God's plan for us and that we would be faithful to love and serve those whom God has sent to us. 

Thank you so much for praying!

Salt and Light - November 26

Greetings from Debrecen,

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for your prayers! God did an amazing work during our Thanksgiving celebration. I love the way He brings just the right people and how he connects them for His purposes and the encouragement that results from our fellowship with other believers. God's ways are higher than our ways!

Sophia is making progress with school!  God continues to give me opportunities to influence "M." Many of the University students are finishing up classes and preparing for their final exams. God continues to give Hungarian Baptists freedom and influence in the public schools. A new family is coming to work in one of the schools supported by the main Baptist church in town.

Please pray:

• The Good family as they move this week to Debrecen that God would provide just the right place for them to live. They would have peace as they travel and that they would see God's hand providing for them as they get settled.
• The girls would be diligent as they study and have courage and peace at they tackle difficult subjects.
• That Debrecen, Hungary would see the manifestation of the glory of  God!
• University students as they prepare for exams that they would realize their need for God and how they can depend on Him.
• Wisdom and strength for Joseph Steiner and his family as they lead Hungarian Baptist Aid and the opportunities God gives them to influence the lives of Hungarians and others.
• Courage and strength for us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.

Thank you!
