Thanks so much for praying for our recent missions conference in late January. What a blessing it was! The focus this year was upon reaching with the Gospel and ministering to the deaf and those with physical disabilities. This group is so often neglected in churches, camps and outreach ministries.
The need for this in Europe is truly great. For example, if you would gather all the deaf in Europe into one place, it would be the 5th largest country in Europe and perhaps the largest unreached people group.
Partnering with us in this missions conference were special representatives from the Hungarian Baptist Union and Joni and Friends. Our students and staff were challenged to be available to Christ however He leads in getting the Gospel to the ends of the earth. At the invitation, thirteen people publicly made this decision.
In addition, more than $7700 was promised to help reach and minister to those with disabilities especially in Hungary. Read below the personal testimonies of two of our students who made this decision. Praise God for His work in these lives!
