| It has been three years since I last wrote
anything in this book. It doesn't mean our church wasn't
functioning, in fact, we were left without a leader. The members
all kept together, and they donated their money and were
functioning well. In the presence of Brother Julius Kish ,
while he was here, twelve young people accepted Christ as their
personal Savior and asked to be baptized. After that, Brother
Kish left the church and went to Cleveland to look for a
better job.
After this, Brother Joseph Kasa from the Wadsworth
church came every Sunday night to preach and have worship service.
He served our church like this for two years. Then he moved to
Canton, Ohio to serve two churches in Wadsworth and in Canton.
After all this, our members were rejuvenated and thought they
should look for a new leader and called Brother Laszlo (Louis)
Lovas. With his influence, the church called back Brother
Laszlo Revesz (Louis Reeves). So they asked Rev. Revesz,
who was gone for 17 years. He picked up and was leading God's
Word. At this time our church had 44 members.
After every name and every age, the following young people are
coming. The young people should have something.. …within the
Elyria Hungarian Baptist Church, which not only consists of
Christians from Elyria, but also the close suburbs. They are
coming to worship God in the Elyria church. |
