Hathcocks' prayer update excerpts

Greetings from Texas,

We had a lot of fun sharing a pot of gulyas with our friends! We enjoyed a few days off from school and with Arianna and her roommate. We experienced the Fannin County Fair with farm animals, rides and corn dogs. We were blessed to meet a another friend of ours from Hungary who was attending some classes this week in Dallas. What a blessing to see God at work in her life. Thankful for the opportunity to participate in a suicide prevention walk. So many lives affected by suicide. Remembering and praying for our friends who are grieving the loss of loved ones. We are blessed with Today and investing in the lives of those around us.

Please pray:

• Safety for Darrel as he will be traveling over the next couple of weeks and sharing about what God is doing in Hungary.
• We would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and have boldness with the opportunities He gives us to share about Him.
• God's continued work in two young ladies, I. and Z's lives, that they would desire to know Him and to choose obedience.
• A., a young man, that he would find a group of believers to connect with and continue to grow in his relationship with God.

Also I would like to share a prayer request taken from "40 Days of Prayer for European People":

And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3
 
May Europeans experience eternal life and may they know You the only true God and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.


Thank you!

Greetings from Texas,

God is on His throne in heaven! Thanking God for the blessing of seeing our former pastor Joseph from Debrecen in McKinney, Texas, of all places. God is using him in Hungary as he is one of the leaders of Hungarian Baptist Aid. We are getting ready to make a big pot of gulyas and invite a bunch of people over to our house on Monday. We are so thankful for how God is using our time here in Bonham.

Please pray:

• Joseph and his wife, that God would give them strength and wisdom as they lead Hungarian Baptist Aid and the work that He is especially doing in the schools. That God would continue to raise up those who need to serve.
• We would keep our eyes on Jesus and do the things He tells us to do.
• The young people that we discipled in Hungary, they would continue to seek after God, desire to study His word and to invest in other people's lives.

Also I would like to share a prayer request taken from "40 Days of Prayer for European People":

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. John 16:33

Father, may your followers in Europe constantly be reminded that with you there is peace and that you have overcome the world. 

Thank you for praying for us!

Greetings from Texas,

God is at work! God's Word is so rich and full of truth. I am encouraged by the things that He is teaching us. This week I was able to participate in a simulcast of a Solemn Assembly in Dallas. It was hours of prayer and words of challenge and encouragement. We so desperately need God to revive our land especially America and how far we have drifted away. I don't know what else will change the direction that we are going unless God steps in and changes things.

Thank you for your faithfulness to pray for us! Darrel's surgery was successful and he has some pain but is healing. We are hopeful that this will bring some healing to his foot. We were blessed to help a friend and be on campus one day during missions week and to encourage and challenge students in the area of missions. Arianna started her job last week and she is learning so much and we are so thankful for this opportunity. We found out that our former pastor from Hungary will be in McKinney, Texas this week and at the DBU campus. We are so looking forward to seeing them this week. I don't think this is a coincidence.

Please pray:

• Continued healing for Darrel's foot and relief from pain.
• Christians would be desperate for God, humble their hearts, confess and repent from sin and turn to Him. God would send an awakening to America and throughout this world.
• Students would see the possibilities of being a missionary wherever God places them and that they would surrender their plans and desires to Him.
• "R", a women who works at Walmart who shared with me that she was a Wiccan. Pray for God to open her eyes and heart to the truth and to see the lies that she believes.
• There was an explosion in Budapest. Don't know all the details but pray that God would use this to point people to Him.

Also I would like to share a prayer requests taken from "40 Days of Prayer for European People."

Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. John 4:35

Pray God would send workers into the harvest, particularly in countries where we no longer have team members.

Greetings from the Road,

Today we are travelling to be with a church tonight to share our stories of what God is doing in Hungary. We have been blessed to spend time with some Belarussian friends this week. God has given us the ability to remember the Russian language. We are so excited that Arianna will be graduating this coming Saturday with other homeschoolers in the Springfield area. God continues to grow her and work through her life in a beautiful way. Yesterday our girls along with some other MK’s set up a craft booth at a local festival. They had so much fun, learned a lot and even earned some money. This week we will also have more opportunities to be with our Belarussian friends. We are thankful for our church family and friends who continue to love and bless these servants of God.

Please continue to pray:

• Renewed spiritual and physical strength for our Belarussian friends as they continue to meet with others this week. God will show others how to pray for and partner with them in their ministry in Belarus.
• Arianna would be encouraged and hopeful about the amazing things He has planned for her even if she doesn’t know what that is yet.
• I am reminded of the incredible lostness of so many people in Belarus so keep praying for the good news to spread and for many to accept this gift of salvation.
• Our neighbor in Springfield has stage 4 lung cancer. She and her husband are not believers so pray that we will they will know Jesus.
• We would continue to be attentive to the things that God is saying and teaching us.

Thank you so much for your prayers!

Greetings from Springfield,

Happy Mother's Day!

Thanking God for opportunities that we have had to share the things that God is doing in Debrecen. We have finally finished up our medical appointments and are close to finishing school. We are excited for Arianna who will be graduating on May 21st and is planning on going to Dallas Baptist University in the Fall. It has been good to be in the States and we are really enjoying our time here.

God continues to bring people and opportunities into our lives. He has sent several men to Darrel to disciple and an opportunity to have one of our doctors and his family over for dinner. This doctor and his wife are from another country and we had a great time talking with them and had some great discussions about religion and Jesus. We continue to hear about God's continued work in Debrecen with a young man "A" who is really growing in the Lord. One of the guys from our Monday night Bible study is discipling him. God's work continues.

Please continue to pray:

• God would show Darrel how to encourage these men to grow in their relationship with God.
• The doctor and his family. They are culturally another religion but are really seeking to know what is true. Pray that God will give us and others who are Christians opportunities to share with them.
• "A" as he meets for discipleship that he would see and understand the truth and grow in his relationship with God.
• God would allow us to remember Russian as we will be helping to interpret for some friends from Belarus. 
• We would keep our eyes on Jesus and be obedient to the things that He shows us each day!

Thank you!

Family and Friends,

This past month has been a busy time for us as we have done a lot of traveling. We are thankful for how God protects us and are so blessed by the friends and family God has allowed us to visit. We are so glad to have a place to call home while we are in the States. Our real home is in heaven, but it is nice to have a familiar place to rest. We continue on this journey and we trust that He is faithful and at work around the world.

Please pray:

• Wisdom to discern the things that God wants us to do each day.
• Determination and focus as our girls press on with homeschooling. (Arianna will be graduating May 21.)
• The young people that we were privileged to disciple, that they would continue to grow in the Lord and that their lives would bear fruit.
• Students hearts' would desire to know God and that they will know the truth and surrender their lives to Jesus.
• We are speaking this weekend, pray that God would give us His words and His stories to share and encourage others.

Thank you so much!

Greetings from Springfield!

It seems like forever since I have last written. We are thankful for safe travel visiting family, Richmond, and Kansas City. We were greatly encouraged by our time in Richmond during the debriefing that we had with IMB. Thankful to hear from David Platt and the things that are evolving. We also enjoyed hearing from other missionaries about what God is doing in other parts of the world. Our girls were blessed to be with other MK's who get who they are because of their similar experiences.

God is good! We have enjoyed speaking with some sweet kids from our church and with the WMU. We so appreciate the prayers, support and encouragement from these godly women. It is exciting to hear about how God is working in people's hearts. This week we will continue with school and finish up some doctor's appointments.

We will head out again next weekend for Florida so I am not sure what kind of connection we will have as we are traveling. As we have been sharing, I am reminded of the people in Hungary that we can be praying for.

Please continue to pray:

• J as God continues to speak to his heart that he would respond obediently and completely surrender his life.
• M, a young lady of another religion, that she would continue to respond to God as He reveals Himself to her.
• God would continue to give the IMB leadership wisdom as they seek God and His direction.
• The missionaries that are retiring who are waiting on God to show them what to do next. They would have peace and clear direction from God. They would be encouraged!
• D, K, M, A, I, Z, and others who do not yet know Jesus, that their hearts would be responsive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
• Our friend and GCC partner, Alyssa, who had her baby last week! God would give her peace, strength and wisdom as a new mother. Also for her husband Denes as he finishes seminary and trusts God for wisdom and direction.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
