Budapest
Budapest, the capital of Hungary, offers significant opportunities for Christian evangelism. With a population of about 1.7 million, it is a major cultural, economic, and historical hub. The city is known for its stunning architecture, including many beautiful churches like St. Stephen’s Basilica and Matthias Church.
Budapest’s lively cultural scene and diverse population provide numerous outreach opportunities. The city hosts various cultural events, festivals and markets. Evangelists can also visit parks, public spaces as well as do pub-ministry, since the city has a very active nightlife scene, ideal for engaging with locals and sharing the Gospel. Its universities attract students from across Hungary and internationally, making campus ministry particularly impactful.
Multiple Christian denominations have a base in Budapest, fostering interdenominational collaboration and community-based initiatives. There are many cross-denominational events in Hungary and its nation is hungry for unity and revival.
Dagindeling
Elke dag gaan we een paar uur de straat op om het evangelie te delen en veel levensveranderende ontmoetingen te zien, te bidden voor genezing en mensen lief te hebben. We hebben pauzes waar je kunt lunchen en dineren en regelmatige tijden om samen te komen voor aanbidding, gebed en om de verbazingwekkende getuigenissen te horen van wat God aan het doen is op straat.
We sturen je meer specifieke informatie over de stad die je hebt gekozen nadat je je hebt aangemeld.
Alle deelnemers zijn verantwoordelijk voor hun eigen kosten (vluchten, accommodatie, vervoer, eten etc.) We geloven dat dit een geweldige investering is in de verspreiding van het Evangelie in heel Europa.
