A small group of Hungarian Reformed women from Transcarpathia/Ukraine, Serbia, and Hungary was planning to travel to Lebanon again in March to discuss with Lebanese, Syrian, and Northern Irish women what it means to live in the shadow of war. The trip had to be postponed, but now we invite everyone to pray with us for peace in the Middle East, for our Christian siblings living there, and especially our sisters.
On April 3-5th, women from Syria, Lebanon, Ukraine, and Northern Ireland came together to share their stories of faith and perseverance in conflict. The conference, entitled “The Unheard Voice: Women’s Persevering Witness in War,” served as a space for testimony, reflection, and solidarity, offering a powerful witness to the strength and hope found in the face of hardship. Though each woman came from a different background and context, their voices echoed a shared resilience grounded in their faith and communities.
Over 650 attendees from 40 countries attended the 2nd International Consultation on Christian Persecution, organized and hosted by the Hungarian Government.
