Church of Budapest (ICB), and OMS

going to school, or currently working in Budapest. For those

Some
thoughts about our group from our past and present members...
1.
"Because studying alone in a foreign land can be
testing to one's faith, I am thankful that God provided
such a wonderful family of believers here in Budapest:
students from many different countries but all excited
about worshipping, knowing and serving Him. We had a
lot of fun together, and also helped, encouraged and
prayed for those in need. It was an awesome time of
fellowship!"

2.
"The International Christian Fellowship was a sort
of a harbour for my soul. Our meetings between classes
and all kind of assignments were the breaks when I could
stop for a while and remember Who is my Lord.This was
the place where I shared my needs and where I was supported
in my prayers by my sisters and brothers in Christ.
The Fellowship was a real blessing for me."
Marin Cerchez, 2004

2. "It was God's blessing for me. When one has
to live far from home and family, in an unknown world
called CEU, gradually, like it or not, intense studies
and homesickness become depressing. In such a world
our meetings incited/animated me for living and non-abstract
relationships with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is amazing
how students from different countries and of different
characters became my sisters and brothers. And these
words are not just a Christian usage. I really feel
family bounds connecting me with my brothers and sisters
that I had in CEU. I thank our Creator for this grace,
for this opportunity of fellowshipping with Christian
students, for their prayers that helped me in my studies,
private needs, and other aspects of life. Thanks to
the lectors from outside CEU who shared with us their
experience, knowledge and love of our God. May God bless
all participated and helped in forming this group. I
pray for its prosperity and that it may bring to the
CEU community salvation, love and freedom of true Christianity.
I pray for prosperity of our group and believe that
future generations of the CEU students will be blessed
by the service of our group."

Some
Food for thought...
"Are
you motivated by the love of Christ." Saint Paul
"He
is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot
lose" Jim Elliot
"Remember
your creator during your youth: when all possibilities lie
open before you and you can offer all your strength intact
for his service. The time to remember is not after you become
senile and paralized! Then it is not too late for your salvation,
but too late for you to serve as the presence of God in the
midst of the world and the creation. You mus take sides earlier
- when you can actually make choices, when you have many paths
opening at your feet, before the weight of necessity overwhelms
you." Jacques Ellul
