The day was filled with worship and multiple speakers. Leaders from many denominations such as the Hungarian Assemblies of God, the Baptist Church, and Agap\u00e9 Churches, shared words of encouragement and congratulations. A particular highlight was the inspirational message delivered by Hungarian Bishop Peter Lakatos and World Missions Executive Director Bishop Talmadge Gardner. Both messages were filled with hope and a challenge for the future. The phenomenal Hungarian worship team also played a crucial part in leading the gathering into the presence of God before each session.<\/p>\n<p>God was lifted up throughout the weekend, and the Hungarian Church was deeply encouraged. I want to give a special thanks to my colleagues, Regional Directors Linwood and Nancy Berry and Harold and Kathleen Presley, Jim and Peggy Edy (Missions Catalyst), and to our World Missions Executive Director, Bishop Talmadge Gardner, for their support and presence during this historic event.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6421\" style=\"width: 394px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-18-at-21.12.03.png\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6421\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6421\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-18-at-21.12.03.png\" alt=\"Hungary 100 year gathering.\" width=\"384\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-18-at-21.12.03.png 1716w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-18-at-21.12.03-1024x563.png 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-18-at-21.12.03-768x422.png 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-18-at-21.12.03-1536x845.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6421\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hungary 100 year gathering.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hungary IPHC Celebrates 100 Years &#8211; Regional Director of Central\/Eastern Europe, Bill Schwartz Delegates from the United States and multiple European countries gathered in Budapest, Hungary the weekend of Nov&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":5926,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,1,4],"tags":[531,126,18],"class_list":{"0":"post-6416","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-missionary-newsletters","8":"category-uncategorized","9":"category-world-missions","10":"tag-531","11":"tag-hungary","12":"tag-world-missions","13":"entry"},"title_es":"Bolet\u00edn de la Junta: Octubre de 2019","content_es":"<div id=\"pl-3171\" class=\"panel-layout\">\r\n<div id=\"pg-3171-0\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style ingpb-standard-row\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\" data-ratio=\"1\" data-ratio-direction=\"right\">\r\n<div id=\"pgc-3171-0-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\r\n<div id=\"panel-3171-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"0\" data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;.125in .125in .125in .125in&quot;,&quot;mobile_padding&quot;:&quot;.125in .125in .125in .125in&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\">\r\n<div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-3171-0-0-0\">\r\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\r\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\r\n\r\n<strong>\u00a1Saludos desde Jap\u00f3n!<\/strong>\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008080\"><strong>SEMBRANDO Y CEGANDO EN CAMBOYA<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nCamboya se encuentra entre los pa\u00edses m\u00e1s pobres de Asia, tanto material como espiritualmente. Han pasado cuarenta a\u00f1os desde que Pol Pot y su Khmer Rouge mataron a m\u00e1s de dos millones de personas en un intento de establecer una utop\u00eda agraria comunista, pero el legado de esos a\u00f1os del holocausto todav\u00eda se puede observar en una grave falta de infraestructura, educaci\u00f3n, oportunidades y esperanza. Menos del 1% de los camboyanos conocen a Jesucristo como Se\u00f1or y Salvador.\r\n\r\nEn septiembre, Russell ayud\u00f3 a organizar y dirigir un equipo de ministerio a Camboya para realizar una serie de cl\u00ednicas m\u00e9dicas en varias aldeas. Los miembros del equipo proced\u00edan de Carolina del Norte, Carolina del Sur, Georgia, Jap\u00f3n y Filipinas.\r\n\r\nLas condiciones eran a menudo r\u00fasticas ya que llev\u00e1bamos a cabo cl\u00ednicas en las iglesias de las aldeas. En un lugar, los funcionarios locales nos obligaron a cerrar. El gobierno budista autoritario vigila de cerca y en ocasiones restringe las actividades de los cristianos.\r\n\r\nEn otras aldeas, las autoridades enviaron polic\u00edas y m\u00e9dicos locales para observarnos, pero estos se fueron impresionados por la experiencia y la amabilidad de nuestro equipo. \u00a1Incluso se unieron al trabajo y nos invitaron a volver!\r\n\r\nLas madres j\u00f3venes estaban agradecidas de recibir vitaminas y medicamentos para las enfermedades de sus hijos, mientras que los ancianos estaban encantados de recibir anteojos para leer. Adem\u00e1s de ofrecer atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica b\u00e1sica y palabras de esperanza y aliento, los miembros del equipo tambi\u00e9n oraron por los pacientes que buscaron su ayuda. \u00a1La oraci\u00f3n es la mejor medicina de todas!\r\n\r\nJunto con el personal m\u00e9dico, tuvimos la bendici\u00f3n de tener un contingente de j\u00f3venes sobresalientes para ministrar a los ni\u00f1os en cada lugar. \u00a1Estamos orgullosos de decir que nuestro nieto Alex fue parte de este din\u00e1mico equipo!\r\n\r\nLos ni\u00f1os disfrutaron jugando juegos al aire libre, haciendo manualidades, escuchando historias b\u00edblicas, aprendiendo canciones del evangelio y \u00a1simplemente divirti\u00e9ndose! Lo mejor de todo es que los ni\u00f1os aprendieron a orarle a Jes\u00fas y tuvieron la oportunidad de ofrecerle sus vidas.\r\n\r\nEn a\u00f1os pasados, hemos invertido tiempo, esfuerzo y financiamiento en viajes similares, ayudando a trabajos pioneros y cavando pozos para aldeas. En este viaje, nos complaci\u00f3 especialmente ver el fruto de estas inversiones en la forma de florecer nuevas iglesias.\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008080\"><strong>PUNTOS PARA LA ORACI\u00d3N<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\u2022 Ore para que las iglesias en Camboya no sean oprimidas y restringidas en sus actividades, sino que tengan libertad para adorar y difundir el evangelio.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Nuestras iglesias est\u00e1n ayudando a los j\u00f3venes en sus comunidades al ense\u00f1ar ingl\u00e9s y ofrecer capacitaci\u00f3n en computaci\u00f3n. Ore para que los j\u00f3venes est\u00e9n equipados para servir al Se\u00f1or y traer prosperidad a su naci\u00f3n.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Ore por el misionero que lidera nuestro trabajo en Camboya, el Rev. Merlen Lamanilao de Filipinas. Ore por su apoyo financiero y por su hija adolescente que pronto se graduar\u00e1 de la escuela secundaria.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Ore por los pr\u00f3ximos viajes a Tailandia y Nepal, por viajes seguros y un ministerio eficaz.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Nuestro apoyo financiero ha disminuido, lo que ha obstaculizado nuestra capacidad para viajar y ministrar. Ore para que nuestro apoyo aumente y considere ayudar a responder a esa oraci\u00f3n.\r\n\r\n\u00a1Gracias por su colaboraci\u00f3n en el evangelio!\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #008080\"><em><strong>Russell y Sandra Board<\/strong><\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","author_name":"Regional Director of Central\/Eastern Europe, Bill Schwartz","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/WMM-New-Regional-Alignment-3.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-1Fu","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
