Do you speak Hungarian and have a passion for reaching people trapped in prostitution and accompanying them in both practical and spiritual ways on the path to healing? The Austria team is seeking someone to engage in street outreach and social work in Vienna, supporting and partnering with another local Hungarian believer already active in the work. Hungarian women rank consistently in the top group of sexually exploited people in Europe, and Austria and Germany are popular destination markets. A decisive factor for sexually exploited people responding to outreach is a street- and social worker who speaks their language; this field is ripe for the harvest.
