Friday at 7, ICF-Szeged

Well, we had our first "practice" as we met in our rented room on Friday. We knew we needed time to adjust from a living room situation to a public service. We are still working out a few things, like the projector BUT God met with us and we had a new girl meet with us that no one knew. That sure encouraged us. It turns out the new medical student attended the Reform Church where we rent and the pastor told her about the english service on Friday evenings. He has been a real blessing to us already. For this first unannounced attempt, we had 12 in attendance, from 7 different nations. The room can hold 200, so we have plenty of room to grow. :-) It is so satisfying to see a dream, or vision begin to come into plain sight. I think too, of the scripture in Zechariah 4.10a For who has despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice....

We will "practice" again on Friday eve and this Saturday - 29th is our big concert. Please pray for us that all goes well to the uniting of churches and especially to the Glory of God. There is only one band playing from our original list as two had to cancel. They were hit with some devastating personal illness and tragedy. So please pray for them and please be in prayer as our guest bands travel to us from Budapest and Debrecen and Croatia. Last week we had a really good response as we handed out flyers about the concert. (not 100% but....) Most people gladly took the flyers and were very polite about. We really felt like the Lord had gone ahead of us and we will go out again Thursday and Friday to distribute flyers.
