<\/a>Szigeti is a prolific author. He has written more than a hundred books. Thousands of his papers and articles are published in prestigious periodicals. He is also the founder of the Hungarian Adventist Theological College. Generations have learned from him, with most of the current Adventist pastors in Hungary having been his students. His lectures have taken him beyond the borders of Hungary to teach in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia and the Ukraine, and even to share with Hungarians living in the USA.<\/p>\nDr Paulsen used Paul\u2019s words in Ephesians 6:10-13, to emphasise how important it is to wear the full weaponry of the Spirit; practice daily Bible reading; the total member involvement in mission; and the solidarity and unity within God\u2019s church. \u201cI would like to quote the words of Church co-founder, Ellen G White,\u201d he concluded: \u201cPress together! Press together! Press together!\u201d<\/p>\n This is the first time that the Hungarian Union has awarded someone with a lifetime achievement award, given in recognition of Professor Jen\u0151 Szigeti as God\u2019s bridge-builder \u2013 connecting many with God.<\/p>\n At present, the Hungarian Union<\/a> has 5,270 members and 118 churches. [ted<\/em>NEWS]<\/p>\n<\/a>At age 80, Szigeti is still an active teacher at the Hungarian Adventist Theological College. He has a weekly one-hour timeslot on a nationwide TV channel, PAX, where he presents Sabbath School Bible Studies to hundreds of thousands of Hungarians. He is also a permanent guest of Professor Imre Tokics on his TV programme, Religion and Culture, broadcast on a nationwide channel, Hatoscsatorna. Here they share conversations with well-known Church personnel on the subjects of faith, religion and culture.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Former Adventist World Church president (retired), Dr Jan Paulsen, was the guest of honour for the special worship service. \u201cCongratulations, brother Szigeti!\u201d he said. \u201cWe worked together for years when I was president of the Division and you were the president of the Hungarian Union for 10 years. I know you as someone who has got great knowledge and greater modesty. God bless the rest of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>In a packed, 500 seater church, members also watched a short video reviewing Szigeti\u2019s life, shared music, poems, duets and the glorious music of the Central Church choir.<\/p>\n
