MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 11. oldal GOOD NEWS FROM SZEGED Szeged, Hungary - The Bible League will partner with Operation Mobilization in an evangelical outreach to southern Hungary. “Love Szeged” will use elements of sports, mime, drama and music to present the young people of Southern Hungary with the saving message of Jesus Christ. The Bible League will begin training 100 Christian young people from six different denominations in follow up for this outreach. Operation Mobilization does an excellent job equipping young people for focused outreach campaigns. But they need to depend on the local church for the follow up of seekers and new believers. This has been difficult in Hungary, where many churches are not equipped for the task. They will train believers in the “Project Philip” program. Project Philip is a program of evangelism and discipleship whereby participants work with local church members to complete a series of Bible studies. As the student completes the studies, they earn a New Testament, and after additional studies, a whole Bible. Throughout the studies they work to strengthen their faith. Operation Mobilization’s Hungary Field Leader. Terry Lingenhoel said. “I believe the Project Philip material will make this outreach successful and allow our ministry to be more fruitful.” The newlyelected President of the Baptist Union of Hungary, Kalman Mészáros, has also expressed his appreciation for this effort. “Love Szeged” will be the first major Bible study project in this area in recent history, but the outlying areas have not been targeted. This outreach will focus on the southern city of Szeged and its surrounding towns and villages, and it will include northern Serbia. While many in this area have some traditional connection with a religion, few profess a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Bible League is a worldwide Scripture placement ministry. In 1999. they provided over 21 million Scriptures worldwide and gathered 13 million people in small group Bible studies. The Bible League The Youth Camp.
