2026 JV Hungary - South Louisville Campus
Hungary- 2026
In 2026, Southeast Christian Church is packing its bags for an exciting adventure to Hungary to partner with Josiah Venture! From the vibrant streets of Budapest to the rolling countryside, our team will dive into a week full of youth camps, creative activities, sports, and small group discussions, all designed to build friendships and share the love of Jesus in fun, meaningful ways. Hungary’s students are eager for connection, and our team will get to encourage local leaders, spark hope in young hearts, and plant seeds of faith that will continue to grow long after we leave. Get ready for a week of laughter, energy, and life-changing experiences as we serve, connect, and see God move in this beautiful country!
