Friday night, the Campus Crusade high school ministry that we have been working with all week, will host a “Battle of the Bands.” Fifteen amateur bands from around Budapest will compete. An American band of Christian high school students living in Budapest will also play. One of those guys will share his testimony during the event.

We have been inviting students in the classrooms that we have attending this week to this outreach event. We are hoping many of them will come. There will also be a coffee house set up that we could have further conversations with these students. Please pray that God will bring Hungarian students to Christ through the outreach and conversation with students that we have been meeting in the high schools this week.

After 20 hours of travel, we arrived in Budapest on Sunday night. Our trip went very well. All of our flights were on time and all of our luggage arrived safely in Budapest. A couple of the students felt a little sick on the transatlantic flight, but felt much better after we landed in Frankfurt, Germany.

Everyone was very excited and tired when we arrived in Hungary around 6 p.m. on Sunday. Many of them had to be up by 6:30 a.m. this morning to visit their high schools. Many of them got to speak to five or more classes today. They are very tired tonight but in very high spirits after their first day. They have been looking forward to this for the past two months. Several of them were able to have spiritual conversations in different McDonalds throughout the city.

We enjoyed snow flurries throughout the day. At least one of the guys in the group has never seen snow before. We have another busy day in the classrooms tomorrow. We are praying that more students will come meet with us after school.

Another praise for me was that I was able to connect to the Internet tonight so that I could post this update. I had been unsuccessful earlier in the day. Amazing what prayer can do.
