Andy & Zsófi's Prayer letter 

Keep going!  ​

​Thanks for your prayers during January. We had a wonderfully blessed time at the UK conference where it was so encouraging to be with nearly 300 other people also serious about sharing the message and love of Jesus Christ to children and young people. We were personally encouraged and challenged to think more about the place of family in our own lives, and the work we do, and just to "keep going"! 
Please do continue to pray, and drop us a line if we can pray for you too. 

Praise God for … 

• Great blessed time at the UK conference (unity within the team we took, lots of lessons learned, and people so encouraged to keep going in youthwork!) And that David, Réka & Emily enjoyed being looked after by Zsófi's parents!
• seeing something of God's varied family across the world, through Andy preaching at 3 very different churches last month.
  • Strandtown Baptist Church - Northern Ireland
  • Samorja Lutheran Church in Slovakia
  • Anglican Church in Hungary  
• Good partnership forming between Acorncamps, Strandtown Baptist Church, Belfast and Balatonszemes Baptist Church.
