We had our second "official" meeting of International Christian Fellowship this past Friday and again, the Lord was present and richly blessed us! We pray we were a blessing to Him! You can see "fellowship" time pictures above. We had about 22 people this week and we were "missing" most of our leadership team. (Since they live in other cities, they will come twice monthly) We had Americans, Hungarians, Nigerians, Germans, Serbians and Swedes. Soon we will have a "professional" website...right now it is http://www.icf-szeged.com/ but there's not yet much there! We made a decision to "end" the meeting at about 8:35 and allow people more time at the end for further fellowship and that turned out to be a blessing as many stayed way past 9:00 to talk to and get to know others!
One of my former students, Melissa, came with Zsolti...she's had her share of struggles in life, and I don't think she knows Jesus personally. The Lord had put on my heart a message from John 1:19-28 with these three questions at the heart of it: Do you know WHOSE you are? Do you know WHO you are? Do you know the ONE to whom you can point people? At the end of the evening, I was talking with Melissa and she said she really enjoyed the whole evening and that she would probably be back. I asked her if it was different than her "typical" church experience...she replied with a very positive and enthusiastic, "Yes, very different!" I believe the message was especially for her, and as a friend of mine earlier in the week shared with me something the Lord put on her heart, "Do not despise the small things, the small beginnings because it is in this that God will build his Body." How very, very true!
ICF is a place of freedom in Christ, a place of worship, fellowship, joy, peace and love centered on the living God! I pray that He continues to be the DRIVER of His vision for His Glory in this land and in this world!
