Weekly Meetings in our Congregations Services in HUNGARY
In 1990, Dr. Robert Rapp, a veteran missionary since 1960 with service in Brazil, Pakistan, and South Korea, received a call from the Lord to come over and help in the Hungarian lands. From 1990 to 1992, Dr. Rapp met with church leaders and shared his vision for a school to train young Hungarian men for the gospel ministry. In 1992, that vision began to take shape in the form of a new school. In 1996, the school, Karolyi Gaspar Institute of Theology & Missions, had its first graduates. These graduates, however, were not welcomed by the bishops of the HRC and, instead, were excommunicated for not being willing to be retrained in the liberal theology of the HRC. That sad event event, however, was the Lord's way of showing Dr. Rapp and his students that the time had come for a new church, the RPCCEE. Today, the RPCCEE has 22 growing congregations and three preaching points in Hungary, Romania, and Ukraine pastored by 16 men trained by Dr. Rapp. Pray for the continued spiritual development of the RPCCEE, that it will soon become self-supporting and self-governing. It already has a great evangelical witness in the entire region and now carries 40% of the financial burden of the work (the rest coming from friends and churches who know of the work through Dr. Rapp). Please use this chart to remember these congregations as they meet to hear God's Word. Hungary and Ukraine time is Eastern USA time + 6 hours, Romania is Eastern USA + 7 hours. You can pray as the Word is being preached and taught there. Pray also for the other ministries of the church – its spring and fall conferences, summer camps, publications, and efforts to promote home schooling in all three countries. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
