A
year of renovation, new growth, new life, new seasons!
On
August 16,2013 the renovation of the “potato room” was
re-started and the ministry room was inaugurated in Dec 2013 with
a youth group that meets monthly. With persistence, and great
help, the long imagined ministry space was completed on May
9th, 2014!! The
space includes a nice sized ministry room complete with projector
(lights & surround sound) for gatherings and film nights, a
custom kitchen, a bath and 1/2, a den and dining area and 2
bedrooms. Even during construction, new songs were written
and recorded there, and a Hungarian TV crew filmed a number of
episodes of the reality show "Édes Élet" (The Sweet
Life).
Now
the space is busy with "Certain Women" planned events,
unexpected events and countless guests both local and from the
nations. Even though I have been in Hungary for 17 years, the Lord
recently said "Now" the infra-structure is in place. I
am so excited to see what builds from here.
The
strategy of "Certain (Young) Women" Nadia
Kolivayko (CWM) and Sarah Goldstein (YWAM)
Create
a
community
of passionate believers
....who
love with abandonment ... always
....who
Feed everyone
....and
House the nations
For
example, in this last week of summer 26 people from the nations of
Cyprus, Ukraine, Crimea, US, France, Germany, Armenia, Romania,
Holland and Hungary were housed from 1 to 7 nights and yes, we
need upstairs, too. These were varied groups including pro-lifer
ministers and an evangelistic rock band! Of course, food was
involved with some pretty extraordinary prayer times, great
fellowship and inspiring movie nights.
"Certain
Women" working together.
Expanding
the kingdom.
"Follow
Me (said Jesus) and I will make you fishers of men". The
"Boat" (ministry space) is finished, and the
fishermen/women are being launched into (and out from) Budapest
... We see this Budapest "Net" being woven together with
various ministries coming together...Certain Women, YWAM, M.A.D.
(Make a Difference) with a number of churches,too. What God wants
to do here (and all over the world) is much bigger than any one
person or ministry can accomplish.
Outreaches:
Tuesday
and Thursday evenings - Bible studies at "Szimpla Kert"
- a rather infamous, many roomed pub in Budapest. Sarah and Nadia
and various friends lead Spirit lead Bible studies with amazing
results! These girls and their friends are wonderful "bait".
People
are then invited to continue conversations and enjoy music on
Friday evenings at Rezkigyo, YWAM's coffee shop...
and
then invited to attend the (often) weekly Sunday evenings for
M.A.D (Make a Difference) events spearheaded by our Moldovan,
artist friend, Sasha from the Russian Church....
Then....Monday
evening back to our Ministry Center for Alpha, with dinner, dvd,
discussion and prayer...all to get to know Jesus better. - Perfect
for the newly curious, the new believers and the pre-believers.
Our
early August, movie "Holy Ghost" was attended by more
than 20 young people and resulted in all crying out for more of
the Holy Spirit.
We
have scheduled "The Father of Lights" to be shown
this weekend and expect more good reports. (update: a visitor
passing through attended and got saved!!! Glory to God, please
pray for Sam.)
We
are excited to say that we are already seeing results, as a number
of pre-believers have come into a relationship with Jesus. We
are starting our 2nd Alpha program in English and have 5-6
committed to attend. We are partnering with local churches to see
these new believers planted and growing in their faith. Our hearts
are bursting with knowledge that the fields are really
ripe for harvest. Please
be praying for new believers Tamas, Simone, and Beni and for
Raphael, Peti, and Bertram to receive Jesus.
Please
contact me, if you would like more frequent updates of these
outreaches. You are also invited to follow me, Nadia and Sarah on
FaceBook by searching our names.
Your
interest, prayers and partnership are sincerely appreciated. I
will be sending reports more frequently, if you do not care to
receive any, please let me know.
Be
watchful and aware and remember always that God is faithful, His
Word is true and you are deeply loved!!
