This was asked of me last Friday when I walked into the cafe for my afternoon shift. Morena has come in a few times before, and I had talked to her briefly, but I was startled and excited by her sudden, unprefaced question. We spent the next hour or so talking about God’s standards, sin, [...]

Praise Reports:
- We had a great time with an outreach team from Budapest! We were able to share the gospel with people who had never heard the good news of Jesus!
