Transylvania
We'll go to Transylvania for a week long mission trip. Pray for our team of 2 students and 5 staff. We'll serve with the Transylvanian CCC group. We'll hand out Student Survival Kits, call back and meet with open students. One of our colleges will give a talk on the weekly meeting and in some high schools. Pray for the local and traveller team: growing together in Christ, health, unity, open students, blessed meetings, decisions to Christ. Pray for Zach's talks! Pray for long term relationships. Thanks! :)

"The harvest is plentiful"
We just ended a wonderful week with a group of Americans! We served together on the Campuses, High Schools, dorms, countryside. We distributed about an additional 700 Freshmen Survival Kits (FSK) this week just in our target area of 3 campuses. We had two great dorm evens, we talked about "How to prepare for a job interview" and "Freakonomics - the funny side of economics". There were about 30 new students at every dorm event, mostly open to hear more about Christ. Kalman and Lorraine (who gave one of the talks) had a deep and long conversation with Blanka and Edina. They had questions like: "Do you ever doubt God?" They met again, the girls still had many deep questions, but seemed closer to the decision. We'll meet them again this week on Wednesday, please pray for them. We had a great weekly meeting with the topic: sex and intimacy, and there were about 170 students. There was a student, Orsi. She is from Transylvania, came to Budapest with a scholarship for a semester. She got a FSK just that same morning and decided to come. She seemed to be alone in the city, was open to hear more about christianity and it turned out she lives in the same dorm as Zsofi (one of Julcsi's disciples). Our friend and supporter, Henry Rogers was a part of the american group. He was here last year and initiated to a student (Andi) and shared the Gospel with her. Later Andi became a believer. Henry is her "spiritual Dad". Henry had the chance to meet Andi's family this weekend. I'm sure God has a wonderful plan with this family! We had other great conversations too, and this week was a great impact on our relationship with Christ. And it's true: "the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few"
