Laki and Boba's Wedding Weekend!

What a great celebration weekend it was! We are so glad Laki and Boba found one another via the Holy Trinity Church in Novi Sad. We were honored to participate in the services and enjoy the reception events together.

There was lots of posing for pictures in the beautiful park.

Szeged-Szőregi Friends and Future

We are so thankful for the way we have been able to partner with our friends Béla, Bea, and Regi in their town of Szőreg outside Szeged. Their farmland is becoming "szent föld" ("holy land!"), as God continues to use their witness and outreach in their community. A highlight of the spring was the Easter outreach event in their transformed greenhouse. They had to pull out some of the radishes a little early to make room, but it was "worth the sacrifice," said Béla. We do believe that God is growing a new form of church among our friends!

Similar to their Christmas outreach, over 50 people came out for Easter, including some from Zion Church, various Szőreg neighbors, and other friends who heard about the event. There was great music from the youth band, a skit where Béla drew in the kids, and the message of hope in Jesus was communicated to the visitors. A local baker contributed fresh Hungarian style pretzels as well!
