Short History of BPF
-
In Autumn 1993, when Levente Horváth (reformed minister, founder and president of BPF)
finished his studies in Scotland he was appointed by bishop Kálmán Csiha of
the Transylvanian Church District of the Hungarian Reformed Church in Romania to
start a ministry for addicted people.
Almost at the same time Bible study groups for addicted/recovered
people were started at Odorhei (by Gizella Antalfi) and Tîrgu Mureş,
called Mentőöv (Lifebelt). These groups formed the Reformed Mission for Addicts
of the Hungarian Reformed Church in Transylvania.

financial background to operate as a more substantial charity organization.
