The Hungarian Reformed Church Aid (HRCA) recently organized a conference to discuss the challenges facing disabled people in Reformed congregations as well as different ways churches have attempted to address these issues.
The Hungarian Reformed Church Aid reflects on the first year of service for the Life Belt programme. Launched last Advent, it a project that strives to aid families devastated by the crash of foreign exchange loans in the form of housing assistance.
The goal of the "Life Belt" programme is to offer temporary help through a rent assistance programme to those who because of the financial crisis have been unable to keep up with the rising mortgage payments who now face foreclosure and eviction.
