YTL and the Police

:: Week of Prayer ::
The last week before Christmas we've spent praying together with our staff. It was a refreshing time as we've focused a lot on God's character. As we've spent quite a lot of our prayer-time on who God really is, we've found that our human problems are rooted in our distorted view of God. We've also have spent a lot of time praying for the persecuted church around the Globe as well as for our key student disciples.
:: Working with the Police ::
We'd been asked to participate at a nation-wide attempt to influence youth by teaching them some of our YTL classes. The Hungarian Police officially supports that effort. As a first attempt of this campaign we'll travel next week (11-15, January) to a smaller city to speak to over 2,000 high school kids and than train 150 educators on how to use YTL (this will be a 3 day series of speaking). This campaign carries not just multiple speaking opportunities in schools, but each time the gospel can be represented and students can be invited to events, like SpeakOut camp or our other outreaches. It generates momentum and creates credibility along with an opportunity of representing the Message!
:: Family and Christmas ::
Our kids enjoyed the break and were sad to go back to school today. We've spent some great time together and were spending a lot of time just talking, reading together and playing. Renato is in the process of getting some new medication for his epilepsy and we hope this will stop his seizures. Rahel will have a check-up tomorrow with her skin-condition. Last time the report was bad and if tomorrow the doctor will not be satisfied with her condition, than she'll need to be hospitalized for some time this month. Your prayers are appreciated.
:: Your prayers are needed ::
1. Pray that we would use the many opportunities we have strategically. We want to see ministry growing out of them.
2. Edina is organizing and leading a women's conference from January 20-23 for all of our staff women and some others who had been invited for this. Pray that this would be a refreshing time for all the women serving with us, especially in their walk with God and in their vision for our ministry.
3. An opportunity had been granted to us to represent YTL to some members of the future government (their will be an election this year). We need wisdom on how to handle this. This could help us as much as could hurt us.
Your prayers, generosity and love for our family is something we thank God every day! What a privilege for our kids to grow up knowing that so many wonderful people, like you, are praying for them!
Advancing the Kingdom of God together,
Gabor for the family
