Team 19 | Ex-change | Hungary

Mark lives in Lisburn with his amazing wife Jodie! He has been a youth worker for the past 8 years and attends Shankill Parish Church in Lurgan. 

Mark loves getting to open the Bible, journeying through life and having a laugh with young people, but most of all he loves to see young people grow into passionate disciples of Jesus! 

Outside of work Mark loves being active whether that’s running, hiking, a walk or going to the gym. He loves coffee and a good pastry! Mark’s ideal Saturday is a run followed by brunch and coffee.

Teams who travel to Hungary are warmly welcomed by our wonderful staff team there! Along with our partners, they have a desire to serve the people of Hungary, injecting life and fun into under-resourced communities and making it possible for them to run programmes like kids clubs, youth events, family fun nights, and so much more.

The Hungarian church is resilient, having survived wars, communism, depopulation, and economic hardship. Many of our communities have big dreams, but they need people like you with passion and energy to make them happen. That's where you can make a huge impact! You don't have to be an "expert" to make a difference: simply by going, you can help smaller communities do big things!

Pastor Tibor has been the senior pastor of the church for 20+ years. He is looking forward to warmly welcoming you to his church and community.

He also serves as the Regional Supervisor of the Reformed Church, overseeing youth and children's programmes.
