Report from Hungary
by Tamas D. Nagy SOC Field Worker
The last four months have been very fruitful for us. Four new classes went through the School of Christ courses, and two more have just completed the course. Let's read and see how God has blessed His people in our country!
1. Paks
Pentecostal Church
I have been visiting this church for twenty-two months and helped them to be restructured and find a new pastor whom they have been waiting for eight years to receive. They started the School of Christ in October 2010 and finished it just before Christmas. During their blessed time of prayers the Lord had shown His will toward them, and as a result of it the Leaders invited me to be their pastor for the next seven years. So I took over the church from this January, and now I introduce this group as lovely members of my home church.
Here is one testimony: "It means so much to me to have a choice to hear the School of Christ curriculum. It gives extensive knowledge about the Bible, and helps understand how to know God and Jesus. It gives basics and a deeper message as well. It helped me to understand the Bible, and eased my anxieties. It made me stronger and helped me to go on. I think every christian should hear this message and not just once! I'm grateful because of this choice for everybody but mostly for God. I grew a lot in Chirst. Thank you!"
2. Jaszbereny
Jaszsag Church 
Jaszsag Church finished their second School just this last year. On January 16th at the close of the meeting, two brothers and two sisters received their Certificates.
3. Komlo
Pentecostal Church
Komlo Church was an old fashion pentecostal church struggling with many hard problems. Two years ago a new pastor came and he brought good initiatives. They geathered every Sunday early morning to have the School of Christ, had a break for short church service and then continued the course till the evening. One day a sister was baptized in the Holy Spirit, and spoke in tounges, she was filled with great joy. She has been a pentecostal believer for thirty-five years and now she has got the very experience of a personal pentecost.
Here is a short testimony: "The school brought me the baptizm of the Holy Spirit. More knowledge about God and Jesus Christ, freedom, joy in the Holy Spirit, courage, wisdom and strength."
4. Bekes
Tree of Life Pentecostal Church
This church is an example of how to use The School of Christ as the basic pattern of making disciples as in the Book of Acts. Thirty percent of the one hundred church members have already graduated the School.
Here you are a great testimony:
"The SOC is the most wonderful school I've ever attended in my life. God did four important things in my life:
1 The Holy Spirit is now with me even at night with his strength, I feel his presence and I sleep better.
2 My relationship with the Holy Spirit is alive again and has become deeper and stronger.
3 As I was learning a spiritual gift became evident in my life.
4 I found out that I died with Christ. God is good!"
All of you should know that Hungary has been abundantly blessed because of the School of Christ! Leaders and pastors who are fed up with dead religion and the customer friendly theology want a solid foundation for their church and ministry. Many say SOC has unattainable expectations, nobody is able to separate 11-12 days for this course. But the fact is, many are willing to give much more, and those willing are receiving a new refreshment from the River of Life.
So, my dear friends! Next week we will hand out the 200th Certificate of Graduation in Hungary. "Rejoice with me" (Luke 15.6)!
With love in Him!
