Pentecost Message from the Worldwide Reformed Family

The biblical story in 20 languages from 30 countries of 4 continents. WCRC Family Members Wish You a Blessed Pentecost.

The Communication Service of the Reformed Church in Hungary invited members of the family of the World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC) from all over the world, to read together the biblical story from the Acts of Apostle about the first Pentecost which brought people together across nations, cultures, beliefs and languages. With the contribution of around 40 people from Hungary and all over the world, reading parts of the story in their mother tongue, we wanted to bring the story and wonder of Pentecost closer to the heart of our community and make them aware that we are blessed member of the larger reformed family, and – in general – of the human family with all its richness.

We are grateful for the contribution of our international partners who made this project possible. Get to know them.

"The Holy Spirit transforms our lives and our thoughts, strengthening our faith ... It was when we accepted Jesus that He filled our hearts with hope. This is what we must sustain and protect, especially today when we are experiencing great tribulations. May the Lord maintain our hope in Christ by the Holy Spirit, even amid such trying times."
