One. Today is our final full day here in Hungary, so we have one final night here in Toalmas. We still have some packing to do and a team meeting, so the blog portion will be brief, but full of pictures.

One. The team has been unified in purpose this week. Each task, each conversation, each new relationship built. They have been one.

One. Our God is One and He has called us to one purpose – to make disciples. Our team was able to experience many different approaches to making disciples this week and it has been awesome to watch.

One. Enjoy our last day in photos.

Missed breakfast on Friday morning, so… we walked to the local szupermarket in Toalmas!

Traveled to Budapest for some Open Air Evangelism at the main train station.

Word of Life staff setting up at the train station. Hungarians are a very “say what you’re thinking kind of people”, so they don’t mind people speaking out. They just move on if not interested.

Some WOL staff and students talking with some listeners.

We grabbed some dinner in Budapest at the oldest McDonald’s in Europe. I have to admit,, the McD’s coffee here is REALLY good. And about half the price as the U.S.

Some WOL students run an open soccer ministry in two locations on Friday nights. They pick up and play and then share a short testimony afterwards. Most of these children are gypsies. It was cool getting to know their culture. The Americans held their own on the pitch. We were tired though!

On Saturday, we visited a local church in a neighboring town. The baptismal is just behind the pulpit. This church has about 40 members and is considered a medium sized church in Hungary.

From Right: Tomas (Assoc. pastor of this church), Ross, Kati (Atilla’s wonderful wife) and Hannah (one of Atilla’s daughters).

We left Tomas’ church and divided into two teams to help two local churches. Kati, Mrs. Urquhart and I went to a tiny church with one member. I’ll explain in a moment!

Kaylynn and Lyndsay cleaning windows. We did some cleaning inside and out.

This is Tomas’ talking to the one member of the church. There are about 25 others who attend, but she is the only one officially registered as a member. The do have a interim pastor. She was thankful for our help!

Local fruit and vegetable shop.

Came back from cleaning to do some zip-lining back at WOL. Atilla gave us some training before we took off over the four different lines on the course.

Yes. The first zip line was high in the tree!

We went over the pond.

Lava Stone Grill – We took Atilla and his family out to dinner tonight as a thank you for all of their help in organizing our trip. The restaurant gave us our own raw slab of pork, chicken and steak on an inch thick sizzling lava stone and we cooked it ourselves! It was amazing!
