Greetings from Hungary

Greetings! Greetings in the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ! I pray this letter finds you well and enjoying the mercies of the Lord. Thank you for your continued kindness with your prayers for the work of the Lord here in Hungary.

After three weeks of intensive ministry, I took a walk by myself on Friday. The walk ended up being six hours. During the walk, I stopped at a museum. Upon entering I got to talking with the receptionist. It was interesting in that she could not speak English and I speak just a little Hungarian. When I began to walk into the museum she called me back telling me that if I wanted to take pictures I must pay in order to do so, which I did. She then began to show me a magazine of the museum. I really didn’t want the magazine but it was real nice so I bought it. After some conversation I began to walk a few steps into the museum when I said to myself, “Give her a tract!” I went back and gave her the tract, May I Ask You A Question. I then entered the museum. About an hour and a half later as I was leaving, the receptionist was franticly waving me to come to her. When I reached her she pointed to the May I Ask You A Question tract, where it shows how to trust Jesus as your Savior, and then to herself, doing this several times, indicating she had made a decision to trust Christ. The power of the living Word of God! Wow! The celebration continues!

Hebrews 4:12

“Lord, I Believe in You!”

Last Friday night as I was going to Mountain State University in Beckley, West Virginia, a couple of my buddies were with me and we saw one young man come around the corner sounding like he was rapping or something. I figured he would like someone to talk to (since he was talking to himself). As I approached him I introduced myself and asked him if anyone had ever taken a Bible and shown him how he could know for sure that he was going to heaven. He thought for a minute and said “no”, to which I replied “may I”. As I began going through the Gospel with him he did not know really who Jesus was so I walked him through scripture to allow God to reveal His Son to him. The next surprise was that Jesus rose from the dead. He didn’t know that and had never heard that before. Here I am in the middle of the Bible Belt and this guy didn’t know Jesus rose from the grave. After walking him through I Corinthians 15 we discussed the terms “according to Scripture” and explained the importance of the resurrection. He asked me how can I be saved, so I showed him how God said he had to be saved. He took his hat off and looked up to the sky and said, “Lord I believe in you,” and then looked at me and said is that it? I explained the difference between believing and trusting gave him an illustration regarding saving faith and he trusted Christ alone as his personal Savior. He immediately shouted and said “I’m saved” (it actually startled me). As my buddies came over and I introduced them to him, he said to them “Justin just shared the gift of eternal life with me” and my buddy replied - “Yes, and what does that mean?” He said to him “I’m saved”. We welcomed him to the family and talked to him about growing in Christ and living a thank you life. He hugged me and my friends and left there knowing true forgiveness for the first time. It’s an awesome thing to watch the Lord snatch a lost sinner out of that horrible pit and place their feet on solid ground. The amazing part of the whole thing is that He allows us the privilege to be apart of it all! His name is Lee, if you think of him please pray for him. Thank you again for your prayers!
