CALVIN SYNOD HERALD 3 It is tiring to hear of the traditional churches that they are on the downhill slide, with declining membership and finances, and that the old ways are not the way to win people to Christ. If we preach the truth about Christ, and live that truth, then you can be sure that God will give the increase no matter where or when or how He is preached! In Matthew 28:19 we find this, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations. ” Acts 8:4 says, “Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. ” Finally, we find this in Acts 5:41-42, “The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ. ” Do we get the idea of what we are supposed to do with the good news of Jesus Christ? We need to tell it even on the mountain and over the hills and everywhere... In September some members from our church participated at two major Hungarian events in Cleveland. In both locations we had a little tent and a table and we invited people to Christ and to our church that others would experience the blessing, we have already experienced, of having a relationship with Jesus, and they would find a church home. We gave a brochure about our church to each person we talked with, and a gift pen. Our hope is that the Lord will use this possibility to grow His Kingdom among us. We have been entrusted with a great work and mission. We can make a difference. It is extremely important to save people’s a soul. Jesus was bom exactly for this, to save and redeem us. May our Lord God give you a blessed and peaceful Advent Season and Christmas as we live out and proclaim His good news. Yours in Christ, Rt. Rev. Dr. Csaba Krasznai Bishop Dr. Krasznai, Mrs. Kovács and Rev. Gabor Nitsch Boldog Karácsonyi Ünnepeket Kívánunk!
