Kiskunmajsa

The town we were in this past week was called Kiskunmajsa (Keesh-koon-my-sha). This trip was very different from the others. It was shorter, we didn't teach English, and our days weren't packed full from morning to evening. We helped out with two small churches that wanted to put on a week long evangelistic outreach. We spent most of our time in the center of town where they had set up a tent, chairs, and the OM Bus 4 Life. This picture is of us doing some singing and dancing on stage with the painting that some of my teammates created in the background.
Some of the things that went on at the outreach were kids programs, speaking sessions, worship, book selling, and late night movie watching. We also helped out by doing some dramas, singing, and telling of testimonies. I had the privilege of testifying on the last night. It was an awesome experience.
We also helped advertise the event by getting our faces painted and walking around town inviting children. We've learned a lot this summer about not getting embarrassed very easily :)
Overall it was a good week and I'm so thankful we got to help. We also had the chance to visit a really interesting refugee/homeless ministry. The buildings are in former soviet barracks that have been fixed up. It was cool to see that something once used for so much evil can be used to bless and sustain life! This picture is of one of the buildings that are NOT being used yet. The rest of the pictures are of some adventures in Budapest and one of my favorite Hungarian friend. I met her in Liter and she's been a huge blessing to me since.


Next stop, Balaton. Then, it's on to Vienna. This has been an awesome/crazy/fast/challenging/fun/exciting/unusual/ summer. But oh what a blessing!
