The Happenings of ICSB
Jo Reggelt. It's 6:39 am and that's all the Hungarian I really know. Some idiot (excuse the language, but it's appropriate here) went driving by a minute ago honking his horn pointlessly. Now Seth is awake. Yeah. I guess honking your horn as you drive by someone's flat or house transcends culture. I should be used to it. If you base popularity on the number of drive-by honkings, our neighbors where I grew up in NY were as well known as the pope or Hannah Montana.
I just got back from a 2.21 day leadership conference here in Budapest. It's put on by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) every year for Christian student leaders across Europe and even parts of Asia. Most of the schools were from Romania and Hungary, but there were others from Norway, Spain, Ukraine, Serbia, Germany, Czech Republic and more. I was the male chaperone for the 3 boys that went from our school. We also had 5 girls there as well. It was a really great conference. I got to meet people from all over the world and it was fun coming together under one roof to worship the one true God. The speaker was challenging in his messages, but also evangelistic in that 16 or so students accepted Christ. The theme was "Change My Heart O God". I really feel like I gained a lot personally from the 2.21 days to be fed and focus on God's Word. I definitely wasn't a fan of the plum filled chicken we had for dinner the first night there. I'm glad the food was lucious the other meals. Also, I pooped on a ledge toilet for the first time in over a year (and hopefully the last).
A big thing happening at ICSB is street evangelism. Many students who went on mission trips this summer came back excited about the "Everything" skit they did as street evangelism in Mexico City. Some of you may have seen this skit on youtube. The students decided in their outreach team to try doing this skit on the streets of Budapest. A teacher here at the school had some experience and connections at Budapest from the things she did this summer, so she is heading up the group. The students performed it in chapel, which in turn hooked about 30 kids to want to learn the drama, and even more who want to go along and be the people on the sidelines witnessing, sharing their faith and explaining the drama. It has been fun to watch the students get excited about this and boldly go out to Budapest to share Christ.
