SAS  ALAPÍTVÁNY - Help is Quick to Act Foundation

We have started a new ministry, supported by “The Lord is Good” Baptist Church. It is the Help is Quick to Act (SAS) Foundation and the founder is pastor Zsolt Paróczi.

The aim of this ministry is to help those who live in poverty through no fault of their own,both  in Bodrog and in 8-10 nearby villages, by giving them practical help: supporting them physically, spiritually and mentally to manage  everyday life.

We asked the mayors and from family workers to help find the neediest families. We have already visited some and we were stunned to see individuals and families living in such poor conditions in the surrounding area. We gave them a kilo of bread and a litre of milk and they took them with joy and with weeping eyes. These people do not have the facilities for normal everyday life. They do not have chair or a table to sit at and eat. We have met someone who has been living without electricity for 20 years; he puts the heating on just during the night so as to not to freeze. When we visited that person the outside and the inside temperature was the same. (Since then we have not complained but rather we give thanks whenever we arrive home in the evening and there is 17C in the house). Our main aim is to bring the good news of God to this people as we help them in practical ways.

The foundation needs all kinds of support and gift (e.g.: food, clothes, cleaning materials and furniture). We plan to approach Hungarian businesses nearby to ask them for support, sharing our faith with them and let them know that God loves those who give with joy: if they freely scatter their gifts to the poor, God is able to bless them abundantly.

We also want to build relationship with Christians both in Hungary and abroad and ask them to support our ministry in any way. Officially the foundation will be registered in early April. After this we will have a website and a bank account we will share on the webpage of the church and the Refuge Foundation’s page.

We would like to ask for prayer support that our service may be a blessing both for the needy and for the givers.
