New Jersey Conference

Story by Stephen Lee

The Hungarian International church in Perth Amboy celebrated its 90th anniversary in October, a significant milestone in its rich history. Established in 1928, the church officially formed as a congregation in April 1933, following a series of dedicated evangelistic endeavors.

The challenging years of the Great Depression left indelible marks, vividly reflected in the treasurer’s meticulous records. Despite financial hardships, the church persevered and flourished, a testament to the unwavering faith of its members.

On Dec. 10, 1945, the members acquired their own building, dedicating it on June 22, 1946. The congregation’s resilience persisted even through challenges posed by the recent pandemic, as devoted members undertook a renovation.

Story by Stephen Lee

More than 380 women recently gathered for the New Jersey Conference (NJC) Women’s Ministries retreat, themed “Restoring Hope.”

Juliana Marson, conference Women’s Ministries director, says, “We wanted to remind women that God sees them, He values them and God is able to heal them. Through shared testimonies, the women were encouraged to rest in God and His provision to overcome challenges. It was an opportunity for women from across the state—both English and Spanish speakers—to be refreshed, restored and refocused.
