Embrace foundation (non-profit) was founded in 2011. In 2015 Michel and Janet van Boxtel moved to Hungary as missionaries to fully dedicate their lives to what God called them to do.

Loving the unloved and making visible the unseen, serving with passion and unconditional love among the very poorest of Hungary.

In Budapest, homeless people are visited every week, on the street, inshelters and, if necessary, in hospital.

Food packages, blankets, clothing, etc. are distributed. Help is offered in finding a shelter or drug addiction program if people want to take that step.

In 2017 Koral Church was started, a congregation where the homeless, poor and lonely from the neighborhood come together every Sunday. Everyone receives a warm welcome with coffee, tea and sandwiches after the service. People's lives change visibly by hearing God's word, prayer and worship as well as receiving unconditional love.

Visitors say: We can come here as we are and are respected and loved, seen and treated as a worthy person.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the

prison to those who are bound.

Isaiah 61:1

Next to the homeless ministry Embrace has several practical projects in other villages in Hungary:

• A winter wood program

• Repairing houses

• Mission trips for groups

• Crisis-help

Additionally, Michel and Janet work together with other missionaries and volunteers.

Please consider supporting us financially and with your prayers so that we will be able to continue reaching out to those in need and sharing the gospel.
