Dear Praying Friends,

Rather than introduce you to a new Hungarian, this month I thought I would bring you up to date on a few I have written about in the past.

Aniko, our building manager, visited church on the second of our friend days, September 21.  After the service she prayed to receive Christ as Savior.  She has a lot of distractions from family and work that keep her busy on Sundays much of the time.  Please pray for her spiritual growth.  Andi Gado and Jean would like to start a Bible study with her when the time is right.

Jozsef Hoffman was baptized on September 7.  He seems hungry to know more about God and His Word and to grow in his Christian life.  Please pray for his wife who is antagonistic toward spiritual things.

Vivienn, the teenager who was saved in April, is still very faithful in her church attendance and endeavors to be a good testimony for Christ in her high school, where she is trying to win her friends to the Lord.  In order to be a witness at home, she resolved to clean up her vocabulary.  Pray that our family in general and Ami in particular will be able to encourage her.  All of our teens need prayer to maintain a testimony and resist the pressures of the world that abound in their schools.

I thank God for journey mercies as I have traveled to Romania four times since I last wrote you.  I have five enthusiastic first year New Testament Greek students.  These students are busy serving the Lord and making a living as well as studying.  Pray for their perseverance and success in mastering the basics of Greek.  Classes will continue through the middle of December.  It has also been my privilege to preach at the Lighthouse Baptist Church in Nagykanizsa twice during September.  Gedeon Olah plans to hold their first baptismal service on October 12.

Ten students completed the class on Biblical Separation in our Bible Institute today.  The new class on the Acts of the Apostles begins Monday evening.  The pace of these class has been a little faster than normal.  Pray that the students will incorporate lessons learned from Acts into their lives.

Please pray for Family Day at church on October 19, in which we encourage whole families to be present.  The preaching that day will emphasize the Christian home.

We would also appreciate prayer for the spiritual growth of Attila Kovacs and Anna Kiss.

As an answer to your prayers, Jean continues to be stronger and able to accomplish more.  Ami has just come through several weeks of health challenges.  Please pray that both will be strong physically and spiritually.

We depend on your prayers for all that God accomplishes here.

Yours for Hungary hearts,

David Potter
