Sunshine
and smiling faces were some of the memories of OM Hungary’s recent outreach
with the Bus4Life over Easter. Visiting 3 different locations over 4 days, many
people heard the message and meaning of Easter as well as local churches and
believers being encouraged.
On Friday
and Saturday the team ministered in a small village called Peteri. It was the
first time in this location and working with the local Church, encouraging the
new Pastor and his congregation. They took part in the church service on Good
Friday and on Saturday helped with a Family Fun event in the local park
alongside the Bus4Life. A puppet show, crafts and Hungarian folk games provided
lots of activities and it was great to see people of all ages coming together
for this event. It was a small event but the Pastor was encouraged by the
working together of the Church members and he has invited the team back to help
in future events.
“For us as OM Hungary this is encouraging as it is part of
our vision for the Hungarian Church: for us to be partners, helpers and
encouragers to the many Pastors in small churches throughout Hungary”
Monday morning the group travelled a
short distance to a small town called Szigethalon and took part in the Easter
Monday program. The Bus4Life was parked outside the church for the morning and it
was a great talking point for many especially as the very talented driver Esa
shared about its ministry and sang some traditional Finnish songs from the
Psalms’ during the service. After the service, Esa and OM member Istvan gave a
guided tour of the bus for the church members.
