Hungary / The Johnson Family / YWAM
"Our first outreach to Hungary was in 1991, two years after the fall of communism. We were following our dream and God’s invitation into world missions. Our hearts were captured by the Hungarian youth who were disillusioned and searching for meaning and truth. In 1994 we moved to Budapest to help establish a ministry base for Youth With A Mission (YWAM) . Now after raising five children in Hungary we’re entering a new phase, yet our vision is the same: to reach the lost with the good news of Jesus and disciple young believers. This is being accomplished through a wide spectrum of activities including running a coffee house, evangelistic street meetings, Bible studies, homeless ministry, music, arts, drama, and a 5-month Discipleship Training School. We currently have a full-time team of 16 from nine different nations. Steve serves as our team leader and is also part of a leadership team that covers the 16 nations of YWAM Central Europe.” - Steve Johnson
Prayer requests include:
It's a new season for our coffee house ministry as some members have left and others have joined. We feel a freshness to explore what God has in store for us, what changes we might make, and what new strategies we might use to further our ministry goals. We're in a transition period and would appreciate prayers for our team during this time.
Our YWAM team recently returned from a staff retreat in the mountains. (see attached photo) It was a great time getting to know each other better and spending time together outside of our normal context. Please pray for our personal relationships and unity as a team to continue to grow.
