This week we have seven camps in every corner of
Hungary.
The church in Pecs-Somogy
is a special place for me
I lived upstairs in
the parsonage when I taught the first year we
had the camps. This is the “little church that
could.” The church is very small in a very rural
location. They have been without a pastor some
years, and last year when another team backed
out at the last minute, the church fasted and
prayed, and God provided. This year, the team is
once again from McKinney, Texas. The camp
director Erika is the heart of
this camp. Their village has no English teachers
and the whole community anticipates and plans
for the camp each summer.
The camp in the city
of Pecs .
. .
has 65 students, and the team from O’Donnell,
Texas, is returning for the third year. The
pastor of the Texas church, Taylor Wood,
reports: “We are also holding an adult English
discussion club/ bible study at the church. We
had about 20 adults on the first night and 15
tonight. We shared the gospel there with a
father and son who seemed very receptive and
will be back.”
The church in
Szentendre . . .
had a very large camp last week, and this week
they are having another small camp in a facility
in the park. Kids from the neighborhood around
the park are attending. Baseball equipment,
which they will leave behind, was donated by FBC
Amarillo, and the High Plains Christian Ministry
from Amarillo provided the money for over 1,000
Hungarian bibles to be distributed there and in
each of our camps. Larry O’Neill, the team
leader from Lubbock, Texas, writes: “Once again,
we see how generous donors make it possible for
us to share an understandable version of the
Bible with our students. Many thanks to all who
have provided support of God's work in the
English Bible camps!”
