Pray for:

• That God would give our team wisdom to discern which ministry opportunities to pursue and that He would bless us in everything He's giving us to do.
• For blessing on Imre's trip to take brothers Serhiy and Bohdan shopping for shoes. May the boys experience the love of God in a very real way that makes a lasting impression, and may God guide Imre's conversations with them! This trip will happen on Saturday.
• For health for our family and ministry team. Many of us have been/are ill with a virus that's going around Budapest.
