When
writing to Timothy, his disciple, Paul encouraged him: “What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful
people who will be able to teach others as well.”
(2
Timothy 2:2, ISV).
We believe that our calling
is to make disciples,
equipping them and sending them to equip
others. Almost every weekend, the
experienced trainers from ReMa (The EGM ministry in Hungary) are meeting their
students with Paul’s desire in mind. Every single participant is a proof of
God’s love for the children. Every single graduation becomes a celebration and
an opportunity to testify new beginnings in ministry.
This
year ReMa has had 3 courses in the fall and 4 courses in the spring in 3
different cities in Hungary. 14 different churches are now equipped to have a
transformational ministry to children.
ReMa’s trainers are mostly volunteers, and dedicated relational teachers,
called by God to this service.
The results are incredible! People are being equipped
in a very professional way to become tools in God’s hands. If in the beginning
they are shy and curious, they leave with boldness and courage, ready to serve
God in their communities, to share the Gospel and make disciples among the
children in a biblical way, adapted to culture, age and development level.
One
of our current students shared with ReMa some of his thoughts during the
training:
"The ReMa-course is a huge blessing to our church! It brings us,
teachers, nearer to each other as well, and that increases our effectiveness in
the ministry. I think the children enjoy coming to the Bible classes more; they
became more open and so are we. Our message can have a bigger impact on their
lives now."
