Hello from Hungary!
We are so excited to write all of you! Why - you might ask???
Because this summer the Gospel was proclaimed, God was at
work stirring hearts, and many, many Hungarian youth accepted
Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior! Lives have been for-
ever changed! Lives that are now filled with hope and a future.
Your support of our mission has made a difference!!!
Let us share with you the story of one camper whose life has
been changed. Attila (not real name) age 14, was a camper
who lives in a broken home - in Canada of all places. His mother
is full Hungarian and father is Canadian. This summer his
mother took him to visit relatives in Hungary for the first
time. After a week she went back to Canada leaving Attila for
the
summer in Hungary. His relatives knew of the camp and he was
sent here for 3 consecutive weeks. He only speaks English.
He became very good friends with Danny and with our family. They
were always together, like glue. As we grew to know
this very bright young man, we were able to talk about God, give
our testimony, and discuss his life and his thoughts. We
knew he had not accepted Jesus. When given the opportunity he
did not go forward and accept Jesus in week 1 He did not
go forward in week 2. We knew he had a lot of questions in his
mind... Room leaders, counselors, volunteers from American
Churches who were coaching sports or teaching English all took
an active part in prayer and in his life and in the lives of
many others in being gentle, loving lights that would point to
Christ. As he heard the message and invitation for the third
time in as many weeks, something happened... his heart was
stirred, and all of a sudden he looked over at Danny (who
was supposed to have his eyes closed). Daniel reached over and
put his arm lovingly on his shoulder. Attila took a breath
and nodded his head in agreement, this without Danny saying a
word. See, it wasnt Danny he was agreeing with, but with
his own heart and with the Holy Spirit at work in him. He then
stood up, went forward, and gave his life to Christ. Praise
the Lord!!! In Gods perfect plan, He sent him all the way from
Canada to Hungary and knew that 3 weeks is what Attila
needed here and God would use the love and witness of many, and
even a 10 year old from America to play an important
role in his decision to accept Christ.
This story is not an isolated situation. Many, many, campers
each week gave their testimonies, some of which were heart
wrenching, but all were so, so beautiful and so encouraging
about what Jesus Christ has done in their life. God is using
this
ministry to change lives. What a tremendous blessing it is to be
a part of. It was a summer we will never forget.

The Lynch Family Mission Update: August 2013
Support Status Update:
Service in Czech Republic and Polandwith International
Ministries
This summer we served with International Ministries teaching
English andsports in Baptist churches in both the Czech Republic
and Poland for one week
each. Both were structured very much like a VBS in the states.
These weregreat opportunities in sharing and showing Christs love
in these former Com-
munist bloc nations.
In the Czech Republic we were able to teach a classroom sized
group of chil-dren English in the morning, while in the afternoon
we taught the older teenshow to play real American baseball
followed by spending time with manyfamilies in fellowship. Matt had
the opportunity to speak to the congregation about our testimony,
shared from Gods word, and encouragedthem to step out in their
faith :). He also was asked to speak a second time about our home
church and the different ministries they havewhich was followed by
a Q&A session which was fun and interesting. #1 question
everywhere we go??? Why in the world would you leaveAmerica? Matts
quick answer: Jesus Christ has turned my life upside down and I
want to follow Him wherever He leads!!! Great week of shar-
ing Christs love, great week of fellowship with our new Czech
family, great week of personal growth for us as we stepped out in
faith.
In Poland we had a much bigger group and a much faster pace.
Well over 120 children came to learn about God and English. We
taught 5classes per day with all different age groups and ability.
Through the week we witnessed many of them profess their faith in
Jesus Christ and
they were so excited to show us their New Testaments they were
given. We even met a Polish family who lives in America and came
back toPoland to visit friends & family and heard about the
churchs program. The mother brought her 2 children and they quickly
became friends with
Danny and Cori while she helped us translate throughout the
week. What an unexpected blessing to the ministry! To God be the
Glory!
