Hungary
New Life Symphony Orchestra
June 5 - 14, 2025
Budapest, Hungary
From Our Mission Partners:
No matter if you are looking from north to south or east to west, Hungary is in the very heart of Europe. In that way, it is a major crossroad of the continent. The country as a whole stands out in Europe with its conservative, God-fearing values. People are searching for the truth.
New Life Symphony Orchestra is important because they help to share the gospel in ways that we cannot. The orchestra is able to attract people to its concerts that otherwise would never attend a church worship service.
Project Objectives:
The population is largely appreciative of the arts with many people regularly attending music and cultural events. A void was felt during the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. Now that concerts are taking place again, the joy of being together is celebrated in a special and renewed way. Refreshment and renewal is so important during this time to heal the emptiness that many have experienced.
We know that the real meaning of life is found in Christ Jesus. The presentation of the gospel is able to be presented in a way that honors the individual's dignity while offering to each of them a life-changing experience.
Project Highlights:
Budapest, Hungary is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. This city will serve as the base for the entire tour. You will have some very enriching experiences. While tourist and cultural sites will be visited during our free time, the main emphasis will be to minister to the people. This will be done through various concerts in music halls, schools and churches.
Cost:
The cost for this Music Mission Project is $4,495 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.
Charitable Donation:
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.

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.

-
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!
