A story of a mustard seed size group with super size faith…
We organized the Eastern European part of the International Campus Ministries Conference as a part of the Eastern European Missions Conference from August 25-30. Most students in Eastern Europe don’t have the financial means to attend two conferences in one year. We gathered in the small town of Vajta, Hungary with the plan of inspire and strengthen the Eastern European Campus Ministries.
When we got together we realized that there were only 7 full-time students that made it to the conference (5 of them were from Budapest). This gave us a great sense of desperation and decided to do a discussion group and invite not only campus students but anyone who feels called to help restart and revive campus ministries all over Eastern Europe. Another 10 single and married disciples joined and we created an action plan for all the countries present where singles and marrieds would help start campus ministries.
It was a great time and I was encouraged by the faith of the disciples that came. At the conference entitled The Heart of Jesus we had a chance to hear from great speakers, Shawn & Lena Wooten from Kiev, Randy, Kent & Heather McKean from Northern Virginia.Please, pray for the Campus Ministries in Eastern Europe.
The Budapest Campus Ministry went from two to six in the last two years and we’d like to see that grow to 20-30 disciples in the next years. We’ve just hired our first Campus Intern after 2003! New Campus Ministries will be started in Tirana, Albania; Bucharest, Romania; Zagreb, Croatia this year.I look forward to reporting what God will do!
In Him,
Peti Szabad, Budapest, Hungary
