Our History in Nutshell

In a small village in Somogy County in 1985, Menedék (Refuge) bought a building over two hundred years old, originally with the aim of using it as a rehabilitation home. However, taking into consideration the experience of some of the developed countries, we realised that in parallel to rescuing young people, we had to pay attention to abandoned children as well. We recognised the importance of prevention, and thought that its best form would be to raise children in "whole foster families" (father-mother-children).

Menedék (Refuge) renovated the mansion and converted four official residences for the foster families within it. From 1989 Christian foster parents moved into the Protected Home together with their own children and children fostered from state care. Over the years several of the fostering families have settled down in the village, so additional families have been able to join the work.

The children are brought up in loving homes, in a pleasant environment and in fellowship with one another. Many children’s lives have been changed. They now have a hope, a future and in most cases, a faith in Jesus.

 NECSAK - Network of Christian Foster Families

Head of the institute: Rev. Zsolt Paroczi,  Baptist pastor

Fostering consultant: Mrs. Ágnes  Madarász

The community of foster families became legally independent in 1997, and grew into the nationwide Network of Christian Foster Families (NECSAK). Since 1^st October 2008 it has been run by the “Lord is Good” Baptist Church. Because it incorporates nationwide Christian fostering, parents can join the institution from all over Hungary. At present there are three fostering families who live in Pest county and four families who live in Bodrog. 

The NECSAK families:

 László and Anna, Tordas

Tibor and Márti Dan, Bodrog

István and Valika Erdei, Bodrog
