Worship with the Nations!

Today (Sunday) started out with the team praying over this area of Budapest (Kelenfold) from the roof of the Olimpia Mozi Ministry Center. Standing there, you can rotate 360 degrees and see row upon row of communist style apartment buildings, housing over 100,000 people ... and all within a couple kilometers from where we stood. Keeping this in mind, along with the new metro line ending just below the entrance to the Mozi prompted us to pray for laborers for the harvest field and for the gospel to penetrate the lives of the people who live here.
Then it was our privilege to worship together with the KeGy church at the ministry center. We sang songs in Hungarian (well, we tried) and English, and heard a message from pastor Mate'. We listened to a simultaneous translation on wireless fm receivers (hearing for the "old guys!")
The next "stop" was the train station to buy tickets for public transportation around Budapest.
We rode to the base of the castle hill and then climbed up for a beautiful view of the Danube and the Pest side of the city.
Of course, a "touring trip" would not be complete without trying on a couple of Russian army hats.
It was a great "low key" day ... praying, worshiping, and enjoying one-another's company. Tomorrow we'll be hitting it hard ... and probably into the night, as we begin to put the kitchenette together.

Wow! A Communist building that is now a ministry center...definitely a "what men meant for evil, God meant for good" situation. You are having an impact that you may never fully understand this side of heaven. I pray for you whenever you come to mind. Build On! Kathie, the Secy

I well remember worshipping with Czech brothers and sisters in Christ.
Different tongues, one Lord.

A glimpse of heaven.
