In Acts 1:8, Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how He was about to use them to establish the early church and advance the gospel globally: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Today, God continues to use His faithful followers to bridge cultures and continents with the hope of Jesus Christ.
One especially exciting avenue for gospel expansion is through the Word of Life Bible Institute program in Tóalmás, Hungary.
About Word of Life Bible Institute in Hungary
This school year marks the twenty-ninth anniversary since the Hungary Bible Institute began.
