Hungary: Education Centre of Bodrog

Mission: Help complete a school building and put on English camps 

In the late 1980s six Hungarian Christian families made a radical commitment to change a forgotten corner of their nation.  They purchased a dilapidated manor house located in the town of Bodrog, repaired it, then moved from Budapest to this small village where each family took in five Gypsy foster children.  Their small church soon began to grow as they evangelized the surrounding villages.  It quickly became apparent that they needed to begin their own school to educate their biological and foster children, and that this school could serve as a means of reaching families from Bodrog and nearby towns as well.  Today the Education Centre of Bodrog serves approximately thirty children in kindergarten, seventy children in grades 1-8 and eighty children in music clubs.  They are working on completing a brand new building to house the school and church. Once completed, it will have enough space for over two hundred students.

Portland Christian has agreed to partner with this work and take a team to Hungary.  This trip is scheduled for  April 4-14, 2008.  We will help with the construction of their new building, help them run a five-day English camp for 30-40 students from 10-18 years old and conduct Church services, home visits and evangelistic outreaches in surrounding villages. 

The trip will cost $1550 for each participant.  The chart below shows our progress and God's blessings to each one of us.  If you feel led to contribute, donations are tax deductible and can be sent to Portland Christian School.  The address is:
