Partner Churches Sought
During August 2007, representatives from Missouri Union Presbytery visited Partner churches in the Cistibiscan Church District (synod) of the Hungarian Reformed Church. Other Hungarian congregations wish to form partnership relationships with churches in the Presbytery of Missouri Union. Consider this ministry opportunity for your congregation. For more information, please contact Rev. Robert Bailey at bobannell@embarqmail.com or (573)634-8660.
Partnerships are open-ended commitments; each relationship develops in a unique way. Your communication to a partner church may be carried out via email, exchange visits or regular mail, but the personal connection with other Christians is a meaningful, mutual blessing. As we hear and learn from other believers, especially those whose faith was forged under official repression, we're challenged to evaluate our own commitment. As Hungarian Christians continue to emerge from a controlled society to witness to God's kingdom in a materiastic, post-modern world, we can share and follow Christ together.
Those visiting included Bedford and Kathryn Knipschild (Covenant – Marshall), Dr. and Mrs. Robert Bullock (First – Fulton), Russell Greenhaugen, Karen Larvik, Dick Caplinger, Kent Burson, and Cecil Culverhouse (First – Jefferson City).
