Dear Praying Friends,

I first met Gabor more than five years ago.  Ami, an eighth grader at the
time, was about to audition for the arts high school.  Ami’s teacher asked
Gabor to listen to Ami’s audition pieces and give her some advice.  I was
very impressed with the way Gabor made suggestions and at the same time
built up Ami’s confidence.  Last Thursday, there sat Gabor as one of four
judges when Ami auditioned for the University of Pecs.  Besides Gabor’s
position as a violin teacher at the university, he is also a member of a
string quartet based in Salzburg, Austria.  I wonder if he gets tired of
shuttling back and forth between the two cities.

My friend Monty Budahl, retired head of the fine arts department at
Maranatha Baptist Bible College, has well said that there is more gospel
witness in jail than in the symphony orchestra.  I have not yet had a chance
to find out about Gabor’s spiritual condition, but I may get my chance if he
turns out to be Ami’s teacher at the University of Pecs.  Pray for him.  He
is one of about ten million reasons God sent us to Hungary.

This past month the Pecs church celebrated its fifteenth anniversary and the
Nagykanizsa church celebrated its second.  Along with the celebration in
Nagykanizsa, twenty-two people signed the church charter.  It was my
privilege to participate in that chartering service.  I have posted pictures
of these events plus some video of special music on our web site.  Please
check it out at www.hungaryhearts.com.

Sixteen students finished the Bible Institute class on Psalms today.  Please
pray for the Lord’s guidance concerning a busy schedule of classes for this
fall, both here in Pecs and, hopefully, in Nagykanizsa.  Pray for wisdom for
the national pastors, Bela Horvath and Gedeon Olah, as they guide these two
churches.

Lajos Makura, one of our church members, would appreciate your prayers
concerning a job.  The company he worked for went bankrupt last month.  We
are thankful that most of the men in our church have secure jobs, but with
economic conditions as they are, we realize that we have to rely on God for
our living, not our employers.

Next week Ami will audition, June 29th, at the Liszt Academy in Budapest.
We may not know the final results for several weeks.   She would appreciate
your prayers.  The auditions are highly competitive, since an Academy degree
carries a lot of prestige.  Pray that God will use the auditions to direct
Ami to the place He wants her to study in September.

Our plane leaves for the United States on Friday, July 2nd.  The purpose of
our trip is to attend the wedding of our daughter Hannah on July 6 and to
report to several of our supporting churches.  I plan to write the next
“Hungary Hearts” at the end of August.  In the mean time, pray for the
church Family Camp, August 23-27, with Monty Budahl (mentioned above) as the
main speaker.  This year we want to have a sort of mini-music camp parallel
with our normal camp.

Pray also for the Knies family as they transition to a new ministry in
Budapest.  God has wonderfully provided them with an apartment and a meeting
place at very low cost in an expensive area of the city.

Again, we thank you for your prayers.

Yours for Hungary Hearts,

David Potter
