In Romania, Gateway Teams partners with the Hungarian Baptist Convention (yes, that's right!). And I recently had the chance to talk with our Field Facilitator there, Pastor Istvan Gergely (that's him on the left) as he is visiting some of our Gateway Teams participants and supporters in North Dakota, about some things he would appreciate prayer for....
1. Please pray for the 3 church plants made among the Roma (Gypsy) people of the area. It's a great opportunity for outreach that the Hungarians have right in their own regions.
2. Pray for the 18 (yes 18!) churches that Istvan pastors. He has 2 associates that help him, but he is the pastor of all of these congregations. There are many small towns in their Transylvania region of northwest Romania and Istvan has to do a lot of driving to get around.
3. Pray for a Gateway Team that we need to go to Romania next summer to work on the roof for their new church (pictured under construction).
4. Pray for the Falcon Rock Camp ministry that is in need of buildings and development (another open opportunity for a Gateway Team).
In addition to all of his other responsibilities, Istvan is the General Secretary for the Hungarian Baptist Convention of Romania. Please keep Istvan in your prayers and think about forming a Gateway Team in your church or region to go to Romania!
Thanks!
