Hello everyone!! We are having a great time here in Debrecen. Yesterday we continued publication of our cofee house event. We walked around the University talking to students and telling them about the free coffee house. Not too many students were around becuase of the exams. Most of the students are either finished with exams and not around campus of busy studying all day for their final exams. They few we did talk to were very nice and showed interest in the event.
Later that night we ate at "The Flask", a tradional Hungarian resturaunt with delicious gouloush (sp?). It was very good!! We went back to the University early to begin putting up new flyers and talk to the students around the buikdings of the cofee house. the night started pretty slow but gradually more and more students came in. At one time, we had about 10 international students. Many were returns from the night before, which was very surprising. We were a little scared that the previous night's deep discussions might scare them away..we were proven wrong!! We had another great night of fun and talking. Many of the new students were very interesting and expressed that they would return tonight.
This experience has really changed my stereotype of the middle eastern people. There are a very large number of students from Iran. They have been the most returners and are very fun.
Please continue to pray for our team and these students we have met and those we will meet!!!
Hi!! This is Christine! I just wanted to add a little bit about what I've been doing. I went with the team yesterday to the University to talk to students but had to leave early with our sponsors. The three of us left early so we could meet a family here in Debrecen. The wife is from Argentina and her husband is Hungarian. She doesn't know the language here and she is lonely so we went to talk to her in spanish so she would feel a little better. We spent some time there and found out she was pregnant with a boy... we talked about they met through their ministry. She is a very sweet lady with a heart for God. Both her and her husband are working to tell the people of Hungary about the love of God. I can't put in to words how wonderful it is to fellowship with other believers in Hungary. The last few nights that we have had the coffee shoppe, it has been an unbelievable experience. God has blessed us with people who are interested in us... the biggest question we get is: Why are you here? WHY HUNGARY? The team has been studying Philippians while we are here, we have been reminded what Paul says about living a Christlike life... please pray for us, that we may show the people what it is to walk like Christ by the way we walk, talk and interact with them... that we may show the people God's love! Thank you for reading...
In Christ's Love,
Christine Aubert
