"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." -John 1:1
Jó estét! (Good Evening!) Today was our first full day of Jesus Ministry in the streets of Hungary as we traveled together learning what it means to love one another. The students have enjoyed being able to discover the city in terms of the public transportation. So far, they have been navigating the city though multiple metro lines, bus, and train/tram/trolley stations. The students have been learning Hungarian, but the language barrier cannot stop Jesus Ministry. As the students walked down the streets of Deak Ter, the students began to see the wonderful power of prayer walking. Though we traveled to several locations today, the students were able to return to this street and plant the seeds of the Gospel in many lives today! So encouraging to see these students engage with the people they began to pray for and see the Lord's faithfulness! One student began to share with a couple about the Good News and as they were intrigued by the drama and the story it tells, the student helped this couple see the story with their heart in accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior! The team rejoiced with this couple as they now know the One Great Hope and One Great Love who is Faithful! Praise! Please join us in prayer as we continue ministry tomorrow and for boldness as we declare the Good News to those around us! Thank you for joining us in prayer as we continue in this incredible journey in Budapest! We cherish your prayers as these teams serve and bring people to knowing Christ in Hungary, Peru, The Gambia, and Panama. In Him, Walker Moore and Becky Robinson Country Coordinators To receive updates from Team Hungary, send @hungary18 to 81010 or follow us on www.awestar.org/hungary-blog to keep in the know!

"God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us."
-1 John 4:9-12 We are here in Budapest, Hungary! This trip is significant for this team as Awe Star began in Hungary 25 years ago and here we are today to continue proclaiming Jesus to the people of Hungary. As Walker Moore, one of our country coordinators has said, "It is like going home to family." This year, our focus is Awe Star Family, reaching the globe. This summer, we have been reminded and united to love one another as Christ loves us. People will remember how well you treat them, more than what you teach them, and Team Hungary is committed to this purpose this summer! You would be proud of these students as they effortlessly moved through the airports, getting to the gates even early (because we at Awe Star are not just on time, but we strive to be early!). Even on the planes, some of your students began to engage with people around them, building opportunities to be willing witnesses, sharing the Gospel to the ears of those who would listen. Students will be be given the opportunity to call home and check in as we continue this journey in love together! Looking forward to keeping you updated and we cherish your prayers! Please join us in prayer as we settle in and begin ministry together in this beautiful country! Körsönöm! (Thank you!) In Him, Walker Moore and Becky Robinson Also-the time here in Budapest is 7 hours ahead of Central Time Zone! Watching these students continue to serve one another has been incredible! Not only have they been able to complete drama training, but Team Hungary has been able to grow in sharing their testimonies as a team. After a full day of drama training yesterday, the team has been equipped for every opportunity to go share the Good News. The blessing was ours to see the students pray for one another as they commissioned each other last night to go and be obedient to the place they have been called to.
Last night, the teams along with the Awe Star Staff and Country Coordinators celebrated with Walker and Cathy Moore in their 25 years of Awe Star Ministry. They have faithfully sent students to the mission field every season. Together, they took turns to give encouragement, prayers, and washed their feet in thankfulness for their service. Awe Star University may be coming to a close, but the journey still continues in Jesus Ministry!Hungary, here we come! The team spent this morning packing and cleaning and sending off the teams for Peru, The Gambia, and Panama. Please join us in prayer for all of our teams travels today and the opportunities to be willing witnesses to seeking souls as we travel. We will update once we are in country, but follow us on the remind app for travel updates! To receive updates for Hungary on Remind - Text @hungary18 to 81010 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” -Matthew 28:19-20 In Him, Walker Moore and Becky Robinson Country Coordinators Looking back at the time we spent as a team training for the drama yesterday, you would be amazed at what these students have accomplished in just a few blocked times to practice! We are so proud of these students for learning this presentation in its entirety, but also at such a rapid pace! We have more day of training today before Team Hungary travels to Eastern Europe to continue Jesus Ministry.
When the students go through each scene in the drama, they are reminded to do this for an Audience of One, who is Jesus Christ. It has been a blessing to see how they learn more about who Jesus says He is by sharing the Gospel. We have spent some time learning about Spiritual Warfare and using God's Word to effectively share the Gospel while equipping ourselves with the armor of God. "Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything to stand firm." -Ephesians 6:13 Please pray for our final preparations to Hungary! One more day before we board the plane to go and walk in His eternal purpose! Thank you for joining us in prayer and for following these updates. In Him, Team Hungary Please feel free to sign up for updates on the Remind App by texting @hungary18 to "81010" or also follow us on Facebook - www.facebook.com/AweStarMinistries/ Our Hungary Family is together here at Awe Star University in Dallas, Texas! #WeAreFamily and these next few days will be filled with teachings, discipleship, fellowship, worship, drama training, and wonderful opportunities to pray and serve one another!
This morning, after a wonderful breakfast, we worshiped together and began to look at our Spiritual Gifts to better serve one another. Later this afternoon we will begin drama training with our team and learning to engage the people around us. Join us in prayer over our team and the incredible journey ahead of us this summer in Hungary! "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Your Country Coordinators, Walker Moore and Becky Robinson So excited for every arrival today! Students arrive today from all over the United States who will be joining us to go into Budapest, Hungary! We begin training this week with our team through the Chronilogical Story Telling, Team Discipleship, and much more!
Awe Star has student missionary teams going into Hungary, Peru, Panama, and The Gambia this summer. Pray as we all gather the next few days at Dallas Christian College to prepare. "Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among the people." -Psalm 96:3 Country Coordinators Walker Moore and Becky Robinson We are super excited to go to the country of Hungary this summer and we have been going through servant leadership here in Tulsa before we go to Dallas. We are just as excited to meet our MOMS and POPS tomorrow for leadership training.
Johnson Long has been serving in China while Casey Jackson has just completed her freshmen year at Oklahoma Baptist University. Both of these Team Directors have served on Awestar trips before and look forward to meeting your students soon! Walker Moore is the President of Awestar Ministries and is looking forward to bringing the team back to Hungary along with Becky Robinson, an Awestar Alumni who is a high school teacher as the Country Coordinators for the team. We are looking forward to seeing the team meet in Dallas this weekend and we will begin to update more once we are in Dallas together.
