Day 7: God keeps providing opportunities for Team Hungary to share the Gospel

By Tom Rairdon

Greetings on day 7 of our Hungary Mission! We have had an amazing week and God keeps providing opportunities to spread His Gospel message and build relationships with the amazing and beautiful people of Hungary.  

We started off the day with another visit to the KEVI (the local High School in Kiskoros) and had the opportunity to visit several English classes. We followed the previous day format of dividing and conquering. We would split into two groups and the Hungarian teachers were great at keeping the English lessons fresh and fun. We played word games, gave mini presentations about each other's cultures and had a discussion about school traditions and their version of the "Prom" called the school leavers' dance.  The best part of the morning was when we were invited to give the discussion during one of the schools faith classes. Mr. Hannan presented Luke 15 and we continued to discuss the parables in this chapter of Luke.  

After another lovely lunch provided by the Filadelphia Institute we had a short time to visit the local city center Kiskoros pastry and ice cream shop and then set out with the Kiskoros Baptist Church and JRHS mission team to the Kecskeméti Fürdő (hot spring spa and waterpark) in Kecskemét.  

After arrival we changed and spent the next three hours playing in the warm waters of the Kecskemét spa. The students played in the whirlpool, jumped off the diving platform and spent a great time of fellowship while enjoying some snacks from the snackbars. 

The students also joined the chaperons who seemed to gravitate to the relaxing waters of the heated mineral spa.   We then loaded up in the vans and returned home and ultimately to our host families' homes for dinner and to rest.  

Tomorrow is a surprise day. All we know is to dress for the outside but we will keep you updated on the day’s activities tomorrow once we actually find out what we are doing! God's blessings and thank you for the continual prayers for our mission in Hungary.
