Zsiga is a 40 years old Gypsy man. The last time he cried was when he was 3 years old. He never knew his parents, and was raised up in a poor state home. This far, he spent 23 years in prison. The last time he saw his 25 years old son was when the boy was 5 months old. He is hungry and he may need to go back to prison. Yes, very likely he deserved those 23 years... but God loves him, Jesus Christ died for him on the cross and wants to give Zsiga eternal life.
Zsiga and many others had a chance to hear the Gospel, as the students and staff of WOL Hungary kicked off the school year with Open Air Evangelism first learning the “how to” in the classroom, then actually doing it on the streets of Budapest. In our highly secular society, where going to church (actually being in a church building) is something odd for the vast majority of the population the street is the place where we can meet our fellow countrymen and pass on to them the message of hope. Of the two days of open air ministry, Szandra and I were both able to participate in one (switching off watching the kids on the other one). So, on Friday I (Laci) was left alone with the three youngsters and Szandra evangelized with the group (I think evangelizing is far easier...) But, seriously both days were great. Altogether we were able to personally share the Gospel with 220 people (and approached many more with tracts and sketch board presentations). Nine of these people decided to trust Jesus Christ for their salvation right there on the streets of Budapest.
