Bible Club Pizza Party!

What do you get when you combine games, a movie, and free pizza? A day full of fun! Just ask the 42 people who attended the second-annual Bible Club pizza party! Saturday, March 12th was a big day for the Bible Club, as we had been preparing this evangelistic event for quite some time. We passed out flyers to the club kids, their friends, and many children in Tóalmás. 39 children and 3 adults/parents attended the party, many of which had never been to the castle or the Bible Club before. What a blessing it was to see so many new faces!




The weather that day was absolutely perfect, so we were able to play many games outdoors. After a short song time, Varga Istvan, a Hungarian staff member, presented the Gospel. We were to watch The Prince of Egypt later that afternoon, so Istvan incorporated the story into his presentation. He talked about the many plagues that came upon Egypt because of their sin, and how God protected the Israelites. He explained that we are all sinners, in need of a perfect Savior. Istvan presented the Gospel in a clear and concise manor, and in the end, 23 children raised their hands that they had asked the Lord into their hearts during his closing prayer! Wow! It was SO exciting! After the prayer, we split the 23 children into small groups and discussed the decision they had just made. It was so wonderful to see the Lord work in the hearts of these little ones!


Of course, we couldn't have a pizza party without indulging in lots of pizza, 18 pies to be exact! The kids enjoyed every last crumb as they engrossed themselves into the big screen movie. What a great day! Please pray that many of these children come back for the weekly Bible Club, which meets in our home on Friday afternoons. We want to encourage them in the Lord!
