Salt and Light - September 10

Greetings from Debrecen,

God is good and we trust Him. It has been exciting to see the students return to Debrecen. It is like the city comes back to life. As I see them on the tram and walking around they are such a diverse group, many from different countries. Praying for these students to encounter God this year in a new and fresh way.

Some of you prayed for a student, "B," and she did get a job! It will be a good fit for her and will allow her to make some money for school. Darrel had a couple of opportunities to speak with some people at a hamburger joint. We are thankful for His work in the lives of people around us.

Please continue to pray:

• "B" as she prepares to move and starts a new job that she would find other Christians that she can connect with.
• God would open the eyes and hearts of students in Debrecen that they would know and worship the one true God.
• Darrel will be traveling with some friends this week, pray that God would encourage and refresh His heart.
• We would be faithful to invest in those whom God sends to us.
• Here is a link to the European prayer guide that you are welcome to use as you pray.

Keep praying! Thank you!

Salt and Light - April 30

Greetings from Debrecen!

God's faithfulness continues! He is our strength! He is at work in Debrecen. Our friend "D" is seeing the possibility of God's provision for him and his parents. We are praying for eyes to see that it is God who is taking care of him. God continues to give us opportunities to speak about spiritual things with our friend of another religion and her boyfriend. We were at a supermarket last week and ran into two Rabbi's from New York. We had an interesting conversation with them but it was a blessing to talk with them. We are thankful to have all the paper work turned in for our registration so now we wait for it to be processed so we can receive our residency cards. The girls and I have been working diligently in school hoping to finish on time this year!

Please pray:

• A student from Brazil who is facing a family crisis and trying to study and prepare for exams. She would depend on the Lord and to have peace even while the family situation is really hard.
• Our daughter Arianna is still unsure of what to major in while in school, she is seeking the Lord and His direction so pray that she sees clearly what classes she is to take next semester and/or what degree to pursue. God would put His desires in her heart.
• God would give Darrel the ability to speak Hungarian
• We would be faithful to those whom God sends to us that they would be encouraged to follow after God. We would not miss any opportunities that God gives us to share about Him with others.

Thank you!

There is a May prayer calendar that our teammates put together.

Hathcocks' prayer update excerpts

Greetings from Debrecen!

Thankful for this week and how God provides. Our hearts remain open to what God's future plans are for us. We trust in the One who knows everything. We are thanking God for a wonderful service yesterday when we had our once a month English worship. God's Word is powerful and encouraging. Darrel continues to talk with D. about spiritual things and just last week he was able to see the connection between our prayers and a situation that was resolved. Yeah! The students are making their way back to Debrecen and will start classes in the following weeks. The refugee situation has become a big issue among Hungarians and seems to be the topic of many discussions. There are so many people coming at once that the system is overwhelmed and many people are fearful. Our company is considering the best way to help out.

Please continue to pray:

• For the many students who will be returning to Debrecen, that they will connect with other believers, and that those who are not believers would have hearts that are open to hearing the good news. Especially praying for those who are coming from countries that do not have many opportunities to hear the truth.
• That D. would continue to be open and that we would see God's hand in his life. That he would choose to be a believer.
• That God would give us divine appointments as we meet students.  We live in a typical college town so in the summer it seems empty, but when the students come back you can notice a difference in the amount of people who live here.
• Pray for us and other m's who need wisdom and clear direction from God.
• Wisdom for those who are working with the refugees, that God would help them to know the best way to help, and that they would be open and have the opportunity to hear about Jesus.

Thank you for praying!
