Technical University SSK distribution - 2008-09

Származási hely: FÉK
Last Monday and Tuesday we handed out 2500 SSKs at 3 main entrances of the main Technical University of Budapest during freshmen registration. It was a very good experience for our team as well as all our student volunteers who were there. Again we saw about 4 SpeakOut campers from this summer among the freshmen. More relationships, praise God! :) Please keep praying for us and all the students who are interested in Jesus, that we would be able to make one-on-one contact with all of them in September and October. Probably about 1500-2000 students this year.

ELTE Law School SSK distribution - 2008-09

Származási hely: FÉK
We have been handing out student survival kits and starting up our weekly group meetings for the students these previous couple of weeks. We are trusting God that He will bring us students who will be open to the Gospel. We have so far handed out over 2700 of the 5500 we have for this year on 4 campuses. We'll be doing this until the end of the month and also start calling back those intersted for a personal meeting. We are excited. :)
Two weeks ago Friday we went to a historical city called Eger, about 2 hours from Budapest to attend the ELTE Law School's Freshmen Camp. There are only 350 freshmen this year and we were able to hand out 200 SSKs and got 100 responses back to the survey. Not as many as we had hoped, but God is in control. :) It was fun to see a freshmen called Kata, who attended our summer camp, SpeakOut this year. She said she wants to be part of FEK (YTL) this year. Pray for her, she is not a believer yet. Over all we made some good connections with students and the only thing that made this day difficult: this was the second day of my diet... :)

Greece

Dear Friends, our ministry year has started with full-throttle in mid August. But before we dug in we went on vacation to Greece with another staff couple and had lots of fun. We were on the beach a lot and even went to a Waterpark near Thessaloniki for a day. Had the chance to see old Philippi and the ruins of the first Christian Church there as well as the prison of Apostle Paul. Here is a picture of us at the prison entrance:
