BHHP 2008

We've had some quite full weeks behind us. 2 weeks ago we had the BHHP Project, through it, 20 Americans came to serve with us among the students of Budapest. Julcsi and I both got sick in the first half of the week, but were able to attend most of the programs we organized throughout the week. We had:

1. Evangelistic events for students: We organized a "4 basic personality types" evening a little "refreshed" during our weekly meeting again this year. About 40 new students came. Kalman and an American called Kevin talked to a catholic student that afternoon on the Technical University campus and invited him to come. He seemed interested and showed up! After the evening he said: "I do not regret coming tonight." He also said he wanted to stay in contact with us, because he liked what we do.
On Tuesday we made a presentation at one of the dormitories of the Corvinus University of Economics about business intuition. It the room next to our the dorm had an alcoholic drinking contest. They were quite loud and we prayed that God would use even this to glorify Himself. He did, as we noticed that several people started coming over to our meeting from the contest. I had a conversation with a Jewish student studying politics. He had his convictions but we had a good conversation about the divinity of Christ and the authenticity of Scripture. Please pray that God would show Himself to this student named Gergo.
On Wednesday evening we had a similar presentation about EQ in the Bethlen dormitory of the Karoli University. One of my disciples, Sara lives here. She helped us a lot and we had 30 people come. We could see the presecne of the Lord in the depth of the discussions, the powerful testimony of Sara and the fact that at midnight they still didn't want to let us go. This was a huge encouragement to me. We planed to start a FEK Club in this dorm. Our plan was to have open discussions about topics, like: relationships, superstition, astronomy and other religions vs. Christianity.
Last night we had the first FEK Club and about 20 students come down for about 2 hours to talk about relationships. Most students were a bit quiet, but some had something to say to every question. A staff gave her testimony. Please continue to pray for openness in this dorm.

2. English classes: We came in contact with many open student and teachers(!) as well. Praise God It seems that we have an open door to go and do English classes any time we want.

3. SSK (Student Survival Kit) distributions: With the help of the Americans we distributed about 2000 SSKs during the week on 6 major campuses and dorms. We are thankful that we can have a presence on these campuses!

4. Random Evangelism: Every afternoon we went to the Technical and Corvinus Universities to randomly walk up and talk to students about God. For many Americans this was the first time doing something like this and they showed tremendous faith in stepping out and initiating to students like this. God blessed us and them as well.
