Hungary Day 3

It is breakfast on day 3 in Hungary as I write this post.

We arrived during the afternoon on day 1, unpacked and went to bed. Tired but happy and ready for our Superheros Camp.

Yesterday we met the campers, preschoolers ages 4-6. Precious children, full of enthusiasm and eager to learn. Batman was the superhero, but the children learned that Jesus is our SUPERHERO. Teaching, crafts, English, recreation,  Bible study with teachers, visit to Tesco to buy gifts for the homes we begin visiting today and finally to bed about 11:00.

I met a young man about 16 years old and asked him my standard three questions. What are you going to be in 5 years? What do you want your tombstone to say? Where will you be in 150 years? He replied, to the third question, "In heaven, of course!" with no hesitation. That was encouraging.

Same schedule today with the addition of home visits. Cloudy with rain in the forecast.

God is good.

Missions Trip to Hungary

"This is the day the Lord has made.Let us rejoice and be glad in it."

After months of planning and prayers -  

    

     hundreds of texts and calls among team members, 

     multiple deliverers of supplies by Amazon, 

     dozen of trips to that specialty stores for a unique prop, 

     packing and repacking and

     final lesson preparations 

- the team from Bethlehem Baptist Church will begin the journey to Hungary in about 5 hours.

We don't know what God has planned nor exactly what the teachers and students in Hungary are expecting. We do know that we serve a great God who is our Father and has prepared each team member individually and the team collectively to be successful in accomplishing His mission. We will be working with a team from Hungary, some of the team we know some will become new friends. Because He is our spiritual daddy and loves us, He is as excited and happy as we are.

Hungary is six hours ahead of Raleigh. Each day next week will begin with quiet time about 6:00 am Hungary time and end with a devotional about 8:00 pm. In between we will have a camp for preschoolers on Monday thru Friday, activities with their teachers, a closing program on Saturday, visits with parents and family members during the afternoons and other interactions as God provides opportunities.

Pray that we will glorify God. 

Pray for protection from Satan.

Pray that the gospel will be shared simply through our words and our actions.

Pray that our families will be protected during our absence.

Thank God for those who have given.

Thank God for those who will be praying for us.

Pray that this trip will increase our love for God.

Pray that this trip will increase our love for our neighbors everywhere.

Pray that our love for fellow believers will increase.

We claim God's promises as we go:

• Ask and it will be given to you. Search and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened for you. The one who asks will always receive; the one who is searching will always find, and the door is opened to the man who knocks. Matt 7:7.
  
• Whatever you ask the Father in my name, I will do—that the Son may bring glory to the Father. And if you ask me anything in my name, I will grant it. John 14:13.
  
• You don’t get what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And when you do ask he doesn’t give it to you, for you ask in quite the wrong spirit—you only want to satisfy your own desires. James 4:3 

     

We are trusting God with the results.
