FREEDOM WALK 

Our partners in Hungary participated in the Freedom Walk on Oct 16th. The walk took place in Pecs, Hungary with 25 volunteers. The silent walk helped bring awareness to modern day slavery. Informal pamphlets were handed out during the sunny, autumn filled day. Knowledge is a powerful tool- the more people know, the more awareness and  prevention can take place.

JFM had a team to travel to Hungary this October to participate in the walk, but COVID restrictions kept the two teams from physically uniting.  Praying for a 2022 collaboration!

The walks were sponsored and organized by a larger organization A21 who collaborates with the Set Free Movement.

FREEDOM WALK FOR 2022 is tentatively scheduled for Oct 15, 2022

The country of Hungary has an estimated of 36,000 people in modern day slavery. The best tool in prevention is education! Engagement and activities in the foster care facilities across the country are the primary places that the Set Free Team visits. The Hungary team has ventured into a women's prison this year and hopes to do more activities as authorization allows.   The engagements are Gospel focused to bring hope, love and self worth to the children. 

Zsuzsa Mecseri McNamara is the Set Free Coordinator in Hungary and works along side Katie and Larry Winckles and Pastor Peter Toth. Please continue to pray as the Set Free Team continues to raise awareness, works on prevention and collaborates with like minded organizations and individuals in Budapest, Gyor and Pecs.
