Canada, and Tracy Haskin from Idaho, US, joined with our MEK Hungary Team and translators (top photo). The mission: to do children and adult outreach in the Roma communities of Zsambok and Boldog, Hungary.

Forty to fifty children gathered each morning for the 3-day camp in Zsambok that focused on the theme that we can be overcomers through the power of Jesus Christ living in us. The camp featured songs, drama, games, snacks and Bible teaching. Tracy and Cathy worked with Ron teaching the English class while Annmarie and Trish assisted Jeannie with the craft sessions. Feri Oláh taught the Bible applications.

In the evenings the team visited the homes of some of the children, giving out chocolate chip cookies, something uncommon in Hungary, and other small gifts from Canada and Idaho. Each member had opportunity to share her personal testimony of having Jesus Christ in her life and her certain hope of eternal life.

On the final night in Zsambok, the team held a Canada evening picnic, complete with home-made Canadian chili, the singing of O Canada, and videos of the country of the Maple Leaf.

The next three days the team followed the same pattern in the village of Boldog as we battled cold, windy, and rainy weather. The home visits and testimony sharing were a highlight, and a number of children prayed with Feri Olah during the Bible classes to receive Jesus Christ with their parents looking on (bottom photo first page).

Before the NAB Gateway Team headed home, they had opportunity to visit the medieval city and fortress of Eger, enjoy the thermal baths, and see the sights of Budapest. Thank you Annemarie, Tracy, Trish, and Cathy for coming to Hungary and serving the Roma people with us.
