Prior to CHRISTmas, we at the International Church donated food for needy families affected by unemployment. In addition to the donated food items, we were given an additional 30,000 HUF (appx $170 USD) to spend as needed. With this money we were able to include some CHRISTmas treats such as chocolates, a stick of Hungarian salami and a block of a very tasty Hungarian smoked cheese.
One recently divorced mother of two, who is also the primary caregiver for her ex-mother-in-law said, "I've only heard of this happening on TV. I never thought it would happen to me!" We left a New Testament with each family and we also prayed a blessing over them. Even though our efforts were as a mere band-aid applied , we have continued to pray that God is their provision and that their hearts will be open to the things of God.
Today we received word from one of the households that the husband has employment after a year of unemployment. He began his new job today! We give God the glory for all he is doing in the hearts and lives of those around us!
Please join us in prayer that these families will see that nothing is impossible with God!
