Dear Friend!!!
I am writing form Hungary, Dunaujvaros. This town used to be the
'citadel' of communism, it was called 'Stalintown' named after Stalin.
We would like to take part on a festival with an outreach tent, and I
would like to ask you to pray for this.
I am writing to you because many people think that outreach is not a
good 'business' on a festival.
We are not a professional agency but enthusiastic young people. There
was a time when we took part on secular festivals and took drugs with
the others so we know that there is a great need to share the Gospel
with lost young people.
We do not ask for financial support but PRAYER SUPPORT. We believe
that every obstacle will be taken away with prayer.
Thank you for your prayers in advance and I will inform you about how
things are going with this outreach.
Let's have it an international outreach!:)
May God bless you.
Please find the details about the outreach below:
"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And
how shall they believe in him of whom
they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent?"
(Romans 10.14-15
This year there will be the EFOTT (Nationwide Tourism Festival of
University and College students) festival in our town, Dunaujvaros.
This is the second largest secular festival in Hungary, visited by
50-60.000 people.
We would like to be present on this with a huge outreach tent, which
is very unique, considering it is a secular festival.We plan a program
where all the representatives of the Hungarian Christian music will be
present, but beside the high standard productions, the main point is
to share the Gospel.
We made a poll, and this is the result: 16 bands, 3 pantomime groups,
a 20 member group of Christian actors, a 400 square meter tent, and
one of the best Hungarian organizer offerd his help.
There are other high standard Christian festivals in the country, but
here is an opportunity to share the Gospel with young people who
probably have never heard it before. 50-60000 Hungarian students who
are starting thier life now, which can be changed. As we know, most of
the university and college students drink alcohol regularly and many
of them take drogs. It is our resposibility to share the Gospel with
them and be witness to them about the Christian life. Christian
university and college students will share the Gospel in groups of 2-3
on the festival.
I personally have experience about the power of this ministry, as I
met 2 Baptist young people on a student festival in 1992, and the good
seeds were planted in my heart, whereat I am very thankful.
This is why I would like to recruit 100-150 brave people to take part
in this blessed work. This is an interdenominational initiation,
we welcome helpers from several churches and denominations.
We also would like to create a database containing the churces in
Hungary, so that people who are interested could find them and turn to
them.
Unfortunatly the festival can provide free tickets only for the bands
and organizers so the churches would have to pay the tickets for the
helpers as we do not have support for that. A 4 day ticket is 9000
HUF. We will provide full board for the helpers.
Place and date of festival : Dunaujvaros Szalki Sziget 2008. July 16-20.
Several Christian media will help in recruitment and cover from the location.
We think it a is a great opportunity to share our faith and God's love
with young people. We also plan to have coffee house for
conversations, drog prevention activity, outreach with music, and keep
thinking on other opportunities.
There is a lot to do until then and we would like to know how many
helpers we can count on. If God puts it on your heart and you can
support us in any way please let us know. We believe that young people
will return blessed from this outreach.
Please support us with your prayers in this ministry because prayer is
very efficient.
The main organizer of this ministry is the One who spoke on a tender
voice to those who have already offerd their help and I belive that
you can see this as a great opportunity.
Some say that they can not imagine an outreach tent on a secular
festival, but who do we have to take the Gospel to? Are they not the
lost who we have to share the Gosple with? Some say that there will be
enough Christian festivals, let's concentrate on those. But I wrote
this letter to you, that if God puts it on your heart, please pray for
us. Whatever we have came from nothing with the help of prayer.
Thank you for your help in advance.
May God bless you!!!
With love in Christ,
Szenczy Tibor coordinator
