Serving as Missionaries Since 1992

Make Jesus known, multiply the church

We serve with Cru to help build spiritual movements everywhere, so everyone would know someone who truly follows Jesus.

Gábor and Edina Grész

"Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes."

Isaiah 54:2-3

Through a unique journey, God allowed us to experience miracles beyond our wildest dreams. We grew up under Communism, witnessed the fall of the Iron Curtain, and saw the gospel spread rapidly in our post-communist nation. We actively participated in spreading the gospel beyond our borders, helped to plant churches, and now serve in the United States to multiply churches.

Cru Church Movements Leadership Team

The U.S. is the New Mission Field

After 50 years of life and ministry in Hungary, God called us to leave behind everything we knew, everyone we loved, and the structures we built. We accepted the greatest missional challenge of our age: addressing the rapid decline of Christianity in the United States.

Serving as the Executive Director of Cru Church Movements USA, Gábor leads efforts to multiply healthy, multiplying spiritual movements and plant local churches. We train leaders, build partnerships, and mobilize churches to reach their cities.

Youth at the Threshold of Life (YTL)

In 1994, we collaborated with the National AIDS coordinator in post-communist Hungary to design a character-building and relationships manual. Built on the firm conviction that a relationship with Jesus is the true solution to youth crises, YTL grew into a 1,000-page, three-volume manual accredited by the Ministry of Education.

What started as a small mustard seed behind the Iron Curtain transformed into a global movement. Over 8,000 educators have been trained, and over 750,000 Hungarian students watched the Jesus Film in their classrooms through YTL.

Life from Ashes Narrative

A Story that Should Never Have Happened

"We own nothing but our story—and that is the greatest treasure we could ever have. It’s what we must guard, and somehow enrich." Most of Gabor's childhood memories revolve around sickness and abuse under communist rule, but this is a story of healing, recovery, and overcoming the limits of the past.

Gabor and Edina Gresz Family
God's Special Gift

Our Family

God has blessed us with three beautiful children, Rahel, Renato, and Gergo. Raising them was an absolute joy! Our daughter, Rahel, is married to Daniel, and they have Clara, our first grandchild.

Currently, our family is scattered across three different countries on two continents—a daily, tangible reminder of the cost of serving on the mission field, but also a testimony to God's expansive care.

"No matter the distance, we are anchored by the same outrageous promise."
