FORGE Mission Trip 2024
"Looking back on our first FORGE Mission Trip, we are thankful to God for an incredible week in Hungary, for answering our prayers for safe travels, team health and a kingdom impact on the community," writes FORGE Coordinator, Janine Armstrong.
"As a team of 8 we organised and ran a youth camp for 15-18 year olds in the town of Szarvas. At camp we spent our days playing games, singing, teaching and sharing Jesus. We were honoured to see 7 young people come to know Jesus for the first time, to lead them as they began their journey of faith and to transition them into a local youth fellowship.
"We had the privilege of working alongside young leaders in the Hungarian church and we got the chance to encourage and support them as well as learning from their experience and faith.
"Our week also included some much deserved fun, with bike rides to local attractions, farm visits, traditional Hungarian food and cultural experiences not to mention delicious ice cream. We ended our trip by exploring the beautiful architecture of Budapest, riding the tram and visiting the markets.
"I am exceptionally proud of our team of young adults who all stepped out of their comfort zones. They shared their testimonies, taught the bible, led discussions, reflected Jesus and unashamedly proclaimed their faith with words and actions.
"It was an unforgettable week for both the team and the youth and leaders in Szarvas."
