9. oldal STEVEN SALAMON Steve Salamon went to be with the Lord on December 30, 1999. He was for many years a faithful servant of the Lord. He was a member of The Hungarian Baptist Church in New York City where he and his family had served faithfully. He is survived by his wife Emma, three children, Steven III, Judith and Emma; also by six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Steve was faithful to God and will be fondly remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. The 128th Psalm was one that Steve lived by. His granddaughter Tracey wrote the following: “How do you know where to start when you have so many things to say but you don’t know how to say them? How do you know what to do when items are difficult and emotions are still fresh? Well, I know exactly what I want to say, and what I have to say is simple. I will miss my grandpa. I know this because I miss him already. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say that 1 think my grandpa, our grandpa, was a great man and a wonderful, caring grandfather. One of the things that I will miss the most is the way he could light up a room. The way everybody’s spirits were lifted just by being with him. Quick to supply a joke, quick to make you feel better, Grandpa was able to light up a room every time just like my father can. The way I would feel when Grandpa used to smile at me reassured me every time that I was loved and that I was safe. It’s strange how things like this can be so sad, but at the same time they pull a family together. It makes me realize what 1 have. It makes me appreciate my family more. 1 like to think that the wind talks to me. I like to think that the wind whistling is really Grandpa whistling at me, the way he always used to, letting me know that where I am is exactly where I should be. This thought comforts me and motivates me to do what I want to do in my life, and to do it now. Time is short. Time sneaks up on you and sometimes you may get angry that time isn’t longer. But in the same instant, time is what helps you heal. Time doesn’t help you forget— it just shields your heart. I know that when we die, 2000. július Grandpa will be the one shielding us. As for now, he is the one looking down on us, keeping us safe, and reassuring us every step of the way." Emma Salamon H fietijesda ________Baptist Retirement Home_______ MAY AT BETHESDA The month of May is a Beautiful time of year in Florida. It is a time when our weather is more moderate and our orange blossoms are in full bloom. The beauty of new growth indicates Gods love for His people even here in Florida. Our Home is still in full operation. For the most part we are at 100% occupancy. Our folks are well fed and well treated. We try to maintain a Christian atmosphere to indicate Gods love for his aging loved ones. Many of our residents come to Bethesda because of that very reason. Our Pastor Denzel Alexander confers with our residents and they in turn attend our church service on an ongoing basis. Our meals are started with prayer and we sing our old favorite hymns in closing. Mothers Day was once again a special day at Bethesda. We honored our mothers, and grandmothers, with beautiful flowers and with a dinner fit for a queen. Special gifts were also presented to them by various organizations from our area. There were many smiling faces at our Home that day. For the past several months we have had technicians at our Home installing a new fire alarm system. This is sorely needed to guarantee the safety of our residents. They are approximately fifty percent finished with the work. When completed, we will have the latest technology available and we will be in full compliance with the regulations. We are still negotiating with various organizations in regard to the possible sale of our properties. This is a slow process and we must be patient. Our plans are to sell to some organization that will continue to serve our people just as we have been serving for over 75 years. As soon as we have something to report on this we will advise you of it. In the meantime, please remember us in your prayers. God Bless. Ernest J. Kish WEDDING On November 6, 1999 Ramona Hunter and Timothy Zoltán Turmezei were united in marriage at the Bear Valley Springs Community Church in Tehachapi Calif. They were joined in marriage by Rev. Michael Boys, Pastor of the church. The promise of marriage was read by Rev. John V. Hunter, father of the bride and pastor of the Hungarian Bible church of Santa Monica California. The scriptural mandate of love, I Cor. 13: 4-8 was read in Hungarian by Rev. Zoltán Turmezei and in English by pastor Michael Boys. The congregation sang Great is they faithfulness. Ramona and Timothy are bom-again Christians, they both serve the Lord and attend church regularly every Sunday. I know God will continue to bless both the Hunter and the Turmezei family, because they love the Lord. Following the marriage ceremony a Christian reception was held, everyone had a wonderful time, even though there was no drinking, smoking or dancing. I know God will bless the newly wed couple in a special way, as they continue to serve him. Ramona and Tim will live in Tehachapi Calif, where she will continue to be a substitute teacher and Tim will continue to work in the prison as a correctional officer. Helen Olah Re-evangelize Europe New efforts are needed to re- evangelize nominally Christian Europe, missions theorist C. Peter Wagner says. It is time for Christians to pray for Europeans and send more missionaries to open up what he calls the “40/70 Window,” he said, referring to the areas between the 40th and 70th parallels. In more than 50 nations of highly secularized Europe, many people who are numbered as Christians “have never heard the gospel,” he said.
