A Place to Call Home

It's official! For the first time in the history of OMS Hungary, we OWN a place to call home! Yesterday Jonathan had the privilege of meeting with the attorney and owner of the building (you see in the picture above) to make the payment and sign the final papers. This is such an exciting time for the field and for the church. Although the facility will require much renovation, we look forward to the day we can open the doors to our church family here in Budapest.

We envision not just a church building, but a ministry center. A place to hold our Mama-Baba Club, English Clubs and lessons, church services, outreach events, Bible studies, offices, and overnight guests. We were blessed through the generous gifts of our supporters to be able to purchase the building outright and we did not require any loans to buy the property. Now we will need to raise funds for the renovations. We are trusting that God did not give us a building just to sit in disrepair...we know HE is going to make it a beautiful place to worship!

This coming week we will have an American contractor and an architect from the UK visiting to assess the work to be done. Pray for our team as we move forward with the momentous project. Pray for the funding that will be required. Pray for teams of builders and workers to come and help us. Pray that our new home will be a light in a dark neighborhood! Praise God!
