ONE YEAR OF SET FREE MINISTRY IN HUNGARY

Zsuzsa Mecseri-McNamara has served as the Coordinator for the Set Free Movement in the Free Methodist Church of Hungary (as well as co-Pastor of the Budapest Free Methodist Church.)  After serving for one year she recently reported on  her year of ministry:

Next month will mark my first year as the coordinator of the Set Free Movement in Hungary. This is very exciting and it gave me the opportunity to reflect. I am so thankful for all of you that have been apart of this journey and have encouraged me, prayed for me. Please continue to pray, God is doing great things. I attached a document which gives a summary of this past year, I hope it will be an encouragement to all of you as you have all helped me in so many ways. I am excited for what God has in store for the second year and hopefully more to come. 😃

Blessings to all of you:

Zsuzsi

Monthly interdenominational prayer group

On a monthly basis, an interdenominational prayer event is held at the Budapest Free Methodist Church. Where together with leaders working in the anti-trafficking work, we pray for the victims of human trafficking, the perpetrators and the vulnerable.

Regular preventive programs at the Salvation Army Lighthouse: safe home for mothers and children

I regularly hold programs at the Lighthouse for both the children and the moms. The programs are aimed at prevention, mediating Christian values, as well as raising awareness to the problem of human trafficking.

Helping at the children’s home camp in Győr

The camp is held every year in the children’s home. The purpose of the camp is showing God’s love to the children and prevention. I could help with different tasks including translation and crafts.

Set Free training in Bulgaria

The Set Free training was held in Bulgaria in September. During the training it was possible to coordinate with the other leaders, think together and pray. We also celebrated the opening of the Saint John’s home for girls.  Praise God that Set Free works in Harmony within two of JFM Ministry Partnerships in Bulgaria and Hungary!

Human trafficking today (conference of Palánta Ministry): my presentation: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

I was invited as a speaker to the conference of Palánta Ministry. Several different Christian organization, teachers and social workers participated. My topic was on prevention in the fight against human trafficking. 

3.      Prison ministry: Pálhalma women’s prison 

On the 14th of December, we served in the Pálhalma Women's Prison. We held a Christmas worship service for the ladies. We proclaimed God’s unconditional love, we sang and prayed together.

This is not the all inclusive list of what God has accomplished in Set Free Hungary for one year, as Zsuzsa was effective in serving in other areas, but these are the areas that include JFM's ministry partnership with Set Free Hungary.
