For over two decades, we have watched Gabi and Zsuzsi blossom from young girls into remarkable women. Gabi, a social worker in Szeged, Hungary, and Zsuzsi, coordinator for the Set Free Movement living in Ács, Hungary, share a common bond – a former connection to the Free Methodist fellowship in Győr and a passion to serve vulnerable children and teenagers.

They recently reconnected when Gabi, presented with an opportunity to educate high school students about human trafficking, realized she needed specialized knowledge. Aware of Zsuzsi’s extensive experience with the Set Free Movement, Gabi reached out for assistance.

Thrilled by the prospect of expanding the movement’s preventive efforts, Zsuzsi saw an opportunity in Gabi’s request. She organized online training sessions for Gabi and another interested social worker, equipping them with the resources to address this critical issue.

Using her knowledge and under Zsuzsi’s guidance, Gabi began offering introductory sessions on human trafficking in high schools, receiving positive feedback.

The story continues. Through our connections with the European Freedom Network and the Lona Project, rights were obtained to translate a series of four educational modules into Hungarian:

• Identify and Prevent Human Trafficking
• Prostitution: What’s It all about?
• My Body Belongs to Me!
• Longing for Love and Recognition

Once the translations are complete, advanced training sessions will be offered, allowing Gabi, Zsuzsi, and others to prepare to use these modules in high schools, youth groups and other settings as opportunities arise. The aim is to empower young people to recognize the signs of exploitation and abuse and equip them with the skills and knowledge to establish healthy boundaries and safeguard themselves.

Join us in praising the Lord for these two friends with a cause and pray for this fantastic opportunity!
