It’s a joy to share their new faith
When two Hungarians became believers earlier this year, the missionary team seeking to reach Budapest, Hungary, began praying that they would grow in their faith and develop a desire to reach other Hungarians for the Lord. Last month, they saw God answer those prayers when the new disciples helped the team with two outreach projects. One shared his testimony publicly in front of more than 50 people and privately with several individuals. He said afterward that it gave him great joy to share with others! The other new disciple opened her home to two follow-up groups that will meet weekly to study the Bible. She also begged the missionaries to let her lead another group, saying, “I have seen you do it. I know the stories, and I want to do this!”
