Scripture Union Hungary works with the established churches of Hungary to spread God’s good news to children, young people and families.
Christianity Explored and its follow up-s are run by many Churches every year in Hungary. About 250-300 children attend the summer clubs each year.
We are constantly surprised at how God can use a few resources to go a long way. Generous gifts of time, effort and money enable us to continue serving.
A special opportunity – for one full year: Thanks to a matching programme, we can double all incoming donations if we establish a steady circle of regular donors by 1 April. Your regular support is now worth twice as much!
If you would like to join, please indicate your intention by completing this FORM. Within the matching program, no personal data will be shared. Only the number of supporters and the total amount donated will be reported.

The basis of our work is a stable background – but this is far from guaranteed. Our most basic costs – staff salaries, office rent and utilities – place a constant burden on the foundation. On top of that, our office is in need of heating and electrical renovation, and we are also in urgent need of new computers.
This is why we want to build a community of 500 supporters who will stand with us contributing £7 per month. It is not a large amount – but if many people commit to it, it provides a stable foundation for years to come. We would be delighted if you were one of the 500!
As mentioned earlier, thanks to a matching programme, your £7 will be worth £14 to us every month for 12 months.

Fundraising campaigns in 2026:
Út-on Bible reading guide and app:
What can you buy today for 35p? Incredible as it may seem, that is enough to bring the message of the Bible to one young person every day. Scripture Union has been running the Út-on Bible-reading app since 2024, which is already read daily by 700–800 young people, with over 100 more accessing it via the website or social media. This app connects Hungarian young people living across different parts of the world into one community.
With your regular support, you can help us keep the Bible accessible to young people every day – choose the level that is right for you:
- Walker – £2.20/month (the price of a student county travel pass): one young person can read the Bible daily for a week
- Travel Companion – £4.35/month (the price of a student national travel pass): even more young people can encounter the Word and devotionals daily
- Explorer – £11.50/month: we can share richer content through the app – recommendations, Spotify playlists
- Road Builder – £23/month: you contribute to app development, making communal Bible reading possible
- World Traveller – £35/month: you help ensure that Hungarian young people anywhere in the world can be reached by the Word

Support summer English camps:
In the summer of 2026, we are organising English Bible camps in at least six congregations, proclaiming the Gospel with Hungarian and English-speaking volunteers to approximately 220 children. Your donation can help with camp preparations, materials and our volunteer training weekend.

Publications & Christianity Explored:
Our wide range of mission – evangelism and youth group lesson-plan publications – support the ministry of congregations. Particularly impactful are Kereszt-kérdések (Christianity Explored), the Vadóc youth novel series and our camp materials. With your support, we could publish new materials and offer them at more affordable prices, furthering the mission.

If you would like to contribute to the work of Scripture Union Hungary here are some options…
Praying
Praying for Hungary is a valuable gift. We know that praying takes time and can sometimes be hard. However, we believe that God hears our prayers and answers them. Put a note on the fridge and remember us when you are hungry! (We know it’s a bad pun but it might work!!)
The gift of time
Consider volunteering your time to help on a summer club team.
One of the volunteers said „It was a fantastic week, with a great opportunity for making new friends, seeing new places and sharing God’s Word.” Team members can be any age over 18. Whether you are retired or a student or somewhere in between, we have a place for you!
Regular Giving
You can ask your bank to pay the same amount to Scripture Union Hungary every month. Regular giving helps us enormously because it allows us to plan our resources effectively. If you would like to help us in this way you can put money in our UK account with SU England. Email gifts@scriptureunion.org.uk for more information.
One-time gifts
You can give a one-time gift to Scripture Union by transferring money to our UK bank account. Single donations are good ways of paying for specific projects. Email gifts@scriptureunion.org.uk for more information.
Raising money
One church last year held a Hungarian evening to raise money for Scripture Union Hungary. In one night they made a huge difference to the work here. If you need some information to help you raise money get in touch!
Further information (The small print)
Scripture Union Hungary is a non-profit organisation. We have five part-time employees, but we rely on volunteers in many areas. None of our staff will make their fortune working with us! We are financially accountable to our board and also to Scripture Union Europe who scrutinize our accounts.
