Tibor and Noami Miklos: The Inspiring Journey of the Bartimaeus Foundation


Listen Later

Welcome to The Passionate Podcast, where we dive into real stories of faith in action and what it means to follow Jesus passionately.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Tibor and Noami from the Bartimaeus Foundation, our long-time friends and mission partners from Hungary. Their journey is a beautiful reminder of how God’s light breaks through the darkness and how a life fully surrendered to Jesus can change lives forever.

Tibor shares his incredible testimony of overcoming blindness, wrestling with suffering, discovering faith, and dedicating his life to sharing the gospel. His passion for serving others led to the formation of the Bartimaeus Foundation, a ministry focused on four key areas:

  • Serving the Blind through camps and providing accessible Bibles.

  • Reaching Illiterate Gypsies with the gospel, including ministry to their children through VBS programs.

  • Caring for Orphans by building relationships, sharing love, and inviting them to youth camps where lives are being transformed.

  • Supporting Ukrainian Refugees through humanitarian aid, English language camps, and providing audio Bibles for the blind in Ukraine.

Noami also shares her journey of wrestling with faith, embracing God’s call to ministry, and her passion for making Jesus known to others. Her words remind us of the importance of surrendering our pride and fears to truly live out what we believe.

We also discuss how you can join us on mission in Hungary and make an impact through prayer, giving, and even going.
