2009 Hungary Mission Trip Print E-mail

God moved in miraculous ways through the OM team, which consisted of 25 people total. We had a group of evangelists (mainly students except for 85 year old Dr. Bob!) from California, dancers from all over the world, and musicians from Atlanta. It was amazing to see how we all came together as a team through our prayer and worship gatherings in the morning, which then fueled us to serve the rest of the day. We experienced many trials, but nothing that we did not conquer and overcome with God‘s help.

We traveled to Hungarian cities such as Budapest, Fot, Tatabanya, as well as to Slovakia to share Christ. During the day, we ministered in skate parks, subways, and street corners. The street outreaches usually followed this format: the band played a few songs, the dancers then did hip-hop followed by more worshipful pieces to draw people in, and then a message would be shared (with the help of a translator!). Meanwhile, people passed out Hungarian tracts and offered to pray for those who were crowding around. We saw lives come to Christ and had ample opportunities to pray over people who were dealing with drug addiction, abuse, and confusion with religion.

At night, we had a concert entitled "Wear the Crowns" that was done in church settings or outdoor stages. This concert told of Christians who are martyred for their faith and consisted of more collaboration between the musicians and dancers. One evening, while doing sound check in preparation for "Wear the Crowns" outdoor concert in Baja, it began flooding. The musicians played "How Great is Our God" as the dancers danced in the rain praying that the rain would cease for the outreach. Amazingly, we saw a miracle of nature occur as the rain stopped just in the area where we were serving, but continued to rain everywhere else in surrounding areas. Praise God that he is the Creator of all things!
