Hungary
Celebration Orchestra
December 12 - 21, 2024
Budapest, Hungary
Project Objectives:
Twenty-five years ago a Hungarian choir performed and recorded (in Hungarian) The Wonders of His Love which was arranged and orchestrated by Camp. For the silver anniversary of this Hungarian production, a reunion choir and orchestra will be formed to present the musical again. This is being organized at a national denominational level by the Hungarian Baptist Union and the Hungarian Baptist Theological Academy. In addition to the orchestra members who are part of the Global Missions Project, professional Christian Hungarian members will be able to join in the orchestra also.
Project Highlights:
Four concerts are planned. Three are in Hungary: Budapest, Debrecen, and Péc. The other concert will be in Nagyvarad (Oradea, Romania). In each city, a major concert hall will be the venue (pictured below) which will include professional lighting and sound. The advertising will come from the Hungarian Baptist Union and the Baptist Theological Academy. All of the area churches will be encouraged to invite their friends and family to these concerts which will make each of these a major evangelistic outreach. Visits to the area's Christmas markets will be planned. The Budapest Christmas Market has been given the title of “Europe's Best”.
Cost:
The cost for this Music Mission Project is $4,175 and includes air and ground transportation, accommodations, breakfast, insurance, Project Development, entrance fees and a GMP Travel Leader. The cost can be divided into multiple payments.

Global Missions Project is a non-profit, interdenominational Christian Ministry dedicated to developing ministry opportunities for every church musician. All expenses are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

What Others Are Saying
Join a community that answered the call to missions!
You've got two options:
1) Do nothing and continue life on the hamster wheel or 2) Finally do something about it. We can't help with option 1 - but option 2? We got you! Say yes to making a change with music and taking the Gospel all around the world.
GET ANSWERS
Have a Question?
-
We get it. You love playing your instrument or singing in the choir and want to do more with your gift. But how? That's where we come in.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to use their God-given talent to serve the Lord. We take teams of choirs, orchestras, and jazz bands around the world to share the good news of Jesus.
-
Music is connecting. No matter the language of a song, it's the music that binds people together.[Our projects consist of evangelistic concerts with the gospel interwoven between songs.
In many countries we have the opportunity to play music in conjunction with local musicians. We also serve by teaching music and sharing our testimonies with others.
-
In fact, we DO need you! God has a special plan for your life that includes using you to minister to others.
-
Nope. You sure don't! That's why we exist - to form teams comprised of individuals that have a heart for missions and want to serve the Lord through music.
Find a project and hop on board!
-
Of course! In fact, we encourage it! We can always use an extra set of hands and a smiling face :)
-
Typically, as long as you have at least 4 years of playing experience, you're good! However, we may ask about prior playing experience to help us assign music parts.
-
Typically the music is sent out one month before the project. Once we land in the country we're going to, we'll have one rehearsal, then we're off and running!
-
For instruments that aren't airplane friendly (tuba, upright bass, etc), we can usually rent them in the country we're going to. Let us know which project you're interested in and we'll help work it out!
-
Almost the whole kit and caboodle! The project cost includes air transportation, transportation within the country, accommodations, one meal per day, sightseeing excursions, and insurance on yourself and your instrument.
The project cost does not include an entry visa (if applicable), a US passport, domestic travel to the airport, and two meals per day.
-
You can, but you don't have to! On average, each project is broken into 4 or 5 payments with an average of 2-3 months between payments.
-
Stepping out in faith is an important part of going! There are many ways to raise support - sending a support letter to friends and family, asking your church for support, forgoing that $5 drink from Starbucks, having a garage sale, and most importantly through prayer! God doesn't just call you to go, He also provides for you.
-
They are! We are a 501c3 which makes your donations tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. You can deduct your project cost in addition to any other expenses accrued during travel.
-
We always include excursions to learn about the culture of the country. However, our goal is missions, so that will be the main focus of the project!
