Occupational Rehabilitation

The purpose of occupational rehabilitation is to create conditions that facilitate the labor market integration of people with disabilities, so that the affected people become suitable for employment and be interested in employment.
The HGMI also supports people struggling with the disease with job opportunities. Work started in the rehabilitation center operated by the organization in February 2022.

Mission

Bible school and CTL (Community Transformational Leadership) Programme

Our organization operates on the basis of Christian values, we believe that it is the word of God that can achieve real and effective change in the lives of individuals. It is in this perspective that we started our online Bible school, the purpose of which is for our students to get to know the Bible and learn the basic truths of the Christian faith and apply them in their lives.
After our initial course dealing with basic teachings, we launched a new course, the CTL programme that covers many areas of life.

Church planting and Evangelism

In the mission, special emphasis is placed on the creation of home groups at the national level, and then, after the expansion of the groups, the development of the congregation.

Foreign Missions

We work with our foreign partners to have an impact on the lives of the needy in the Carpathian Basin, Europe and other areas of the world.

National Missions

Since August 2009, the HGMI has also been involved in youth work, the aim of which is to reach young people through the Gospel. The activities include regular visits and support of existing youth groups, youth camps, summer youth programs, youth meetings, conferences, and the organization of concerts.
The mission serves 4-5 times a month in prisons, where interested inmates can participate in 2-3 small group sessions on occasion. All people living in difficult situations have the opportunity to know Christ, even if they are physically limited. Another goal of the mission work is for the inmates to reintegrate into society, waking up to a new realization.
