To Proclaim His Mighty Deeds

2011. Summer
Go and make disciples Our dear Friend, thank you very much for your care, your prayers and for your financial support. We had a great summer and are now moving into a busy fall. We would like to share all the joys and blessings with you, but the space is limited. So we will share the main things with you.

The Word of God is not in chains

7 weeks! It seems like just a few days have gone by since we started summer camp and we are already finished. We have a great joy, because during the 7 camp weeks 855 children and teens could hear the Gospel and got encouragements spiritually. We are very thankful to God for many many volunteers who came to help, to clean, to teach language, to be coaches, teaching Bible, to counsel, to be friends , so these young people who really search can have a fantastic camp week. Here is a testimony from a camper who made a decision here: I really like the camp, specially the basketball, the Bible hours, the swimming pool. I like it here. I have many new friends. I made a life changing decision. Before the camp I did not believe in God, I did not think about such things. But now I know there is God. I do not know how to say, but I feel a boulder was taken from me. Now I believe in God and I love Him. I would like to come back next year again. God knows the hearts; he knows what is in there. As far as we know, more than 200 children and teens accepted Jesus as their saver, and about 130 teens dedicated their life to God. It is wonderful to see that God is working, that the Word of God is not chains, the Gospel is a understandable message, we just need to proclaim it, since it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believe as Paul sais. Here in our camp, Egypt what the theme. In the week 6, Gabor was the Bible teacher, and they studied the life of Moses with the teens. Moses had to make a decision how will he live his life. As an Egyptian or a Hebrew? He needed to make a decision which life he will choose. Todays teens have the challenge as well, to choose God and to be pleasing to Him. Tundi was able to be part of this week ` through her prayers, as she had pneumonia and she needed to be in bed. Praise God she is now doing well and is healthy. Why we would not change our life to anything else? When we saw at the invitation how many young people repented and got saved and then when so many more dedicated their life to God, we knew we would not change our lives for anything. One night when we had the invitation, one of the young men stood up and as he could not hold himself back and he said this outloud: It is a strange feeling. Because a supernatural thing happened with him, his sins were forgiven, and we knew it is normal, that he feels something different. Other times, teens stood up with tears on their faces because they put down their sins and received what Christ did for them. At the Wednesday campfire we have invitation for dedication. Those who already Christians, but their life is not heading to the right direction can dedicate their life to God. Many of them made this decision. Many lives were changed, and there is nothing more wonderful than this.

In Ukraine:
Whereever we go, the young people are the same, their life the same, the need same: they need God, His love. This is why we went to Ukraine this summer. We were here in Toalmas during the whole summer, expect one week in the middle of summer, when we could serve at the Word of Life camp in Ukraine. In the Ukraine camp Gabor was the Bible teacher. We are very thankful to God for that special week. We had to travel there about 665 miles to get there, becide Kiev. By Gods grace we have no problem at all on the roads. In Ukraine there is lot of police who love to stop and take your money, because there is lot of corruption. On Monday afternoon 105 youth arrived to the camp. During the week we had many opportunity to practice our poor Russian language (we needed to learn Russian in Elementary School in Hungary during Communism). We used our hands, legs, and translaters to be able to communicate. The theme of the camp was The Space Higher than the Stars Gabor was teaching about how mighty our God is, and he is Lord above the creation as well above their problems. It was very very encouraging when the young people shared with us they were encouraged by the teaching. Praise the Lord! During the days we had many opportunities to be with them, play with them. We could play, lough even we do not speak their language. Becide the Bible teaching we could help in many other ways as well. Tundi was speaking on several lady devotions and fellowships. Also we helped at the big games, or setting up tables, cleaning. Please pray for these young people, so they can say NO to the pressures from friends and say YES to God and obeying to Him.
