Szabolcs Kerekes
Hungary

Since 2009 Szabolcs has been invited to be the Pastor of the Hungarian Juvenile Detention – Correctional State Institute for girls. He has built a team that serves there every week in different ways. Though these girls have terrible life stories, miracles are happening and lots of girls have received Christ. Jesus came to heal the broken and give hope for the poor! Please pray that they would hear the Gospel and that the Holy Spirit would anoint Szabolcs and his team with wisdom and power.
As a member of the Barnabas Group Mission, Szabolcs also leads different trainings for pastors and elders in Hungary and the surrounding countries. The most favourite, sought after training is six part training called, “The Church Built on Loving Communities” in which more than 500 participants have experienced within the last few years.
Szabolcs is one of the founders of the Infiniteen (Végtelenitini) movement in Hungary. They had a camp of 330 in 2024 where 20 received Christ and 22 were baptized.
Ways to Pray:
- Girls at the detention center to hear the Gospel.
- Ministry team to be anointed by the Holy Spirit with wisdom and power.
- Counseling needs to be determined and that God would bless the personal counseling conversations.
- New believers to grow and heal with Christ.
- Training of the pastors and leaders in the trainings to result in new small groups experiencing community and discipleship.
- Szabolc’s third grandchild, Enna, is a year old and there’s a concern about her lack of movement.
