International Worship

We are so privileged to worship at Danube International Church here in Budapest. The founders of this church, a little over 10 years ago, described it as a "fellowship of followers of Jesus, serving the English-Speaking Community in Budapest." People from Budapest attend this church plus we have so many visitors from all over that will attend. Someone from Romania might be in the city for a conference and will hear about our church and will attend. Another family from England might be vacationing in Budapest and will attend church at Danube. We have met so many internationals that love Christ and desire to worship at Danube International whenever they have opportunity.

There are many Hungarians that attend our church and they all amaze us with their excellent English. We do have simultaneous translation which allows a Hungarian to use a headset to have the sermon translated for him, if he desires. A Hungarian pastor that has services at his church in the afternoon attends our church. He's usually the one that does the English/Hungarian translation. What a selfless ministry he has!

Our church meets in a rented facility (Mathias Corvinus Collegium) each Sunday morning. The picture is of the front of the "church" where the worship team and pastor leads. Although we don't have our own church building, we are reminded that the church of Jesus Christ is made up of all believers and does not mean just a church building. We take communion with international believers. We sing together and serve together with other believers that have different homelands. It is a privilege to worship with them.

If you would like to listen to our pastor here (Ronnie Stevens), you can check out the church website. You will be blessed! www.danubechurch.org

"After this, I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: 'Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.' Revelation7:9-10
