Men's Prayer Breakfast

In our growing role with Danube International Church, one of the desires we have for this church is that "body life" among the believers will increase. In an international situation like this, church life is really different from what we're famililar with back in the states. One of the big differences is not having the use of a permanent facility throughout the week. Danube International Church rents a facility for a few hours on Sunday morning in order for believers in Budapest to worship. We don't own our own church so that means that events throughout the week are a challenge and they have to be held in homes or other places that are easy to get to.

So, we're continually looking for opportunities for Danube church members to come together during the week to encourage one another and to grow in fellowship with each another and with Christ. One great way that Curt has accomplished this is through a Men's Prayer Breakfast this summer. He purposely chose the Pest side of Budapest for men to meet, pray, and have breakfast together. By having it on that side of the river, that helped men attend that wouldn't be able to if it was on the Buda side.

This Friday is another meeting of the Prayer Breakfast and there could be as many as 15 men joining together. That's a huge number for this part of the world! Maybe we'll be able to get a picture or two of this group and we'll post it to a later blog.

Pray that this men's group will grow and that there will be other groups that will grow out of this one.
