October 2022 Prayer Letter

Dear Friends,

Here is an update on the past two months. 

Family Camp: 

We had a great week of family camp August 24-28. More than 60 people attended this year. We tried to have a more relaxed schedule this year and our people really enjoyed the time we had together. We had a good number of new people come who were not yet members, and it was good to get them better connected to the church. Our theme was "Going Deeper" with an emphasis on having a deeper relationship with God and with each other.

Summer Camp

New Members!

On September 18th we added seven new members to our church. We were especially excited that six of the new members were ages 40 or older! Up to this point 85% of our members were 35 or younger, so we have been praying for a few members from our generation. We are excited to see how the Lord will use them in our church.

3 Year Anniversary

On September 18th we also celebrated the three-year anniversary of Focus Church. What a joy it was to look back at the blessings of the past few years. God has given us tremendous growth, and we are slowly outgrowing the coffee shop. We are looking forward to what God has in store for us in year number four!

3rd year anniversary

New Pastor in Esztergom

On September 25^th Joseph Steiner was installed as the next pastor of our former church in Esztergom. Joseph is about my age and has been involved in church planting, pastoring and Christian education for a number of years. We are praying that God will use him and his wife Csilla to move the church to the next level.

Thanks so much for standing with us in your prayers and support! 

 Marc and Charin Patton
