Thank you all for prayers.We have been able to serve in different ways but most important of all was that we could do it as the family. The main goal for this visit was young man - Jano Havrila, who is one of the students at our School of leaders that I mentor.
On Friday we have traveled for 5 hours to be able to come on time for teenager meeting where Zuzka mainly was speaking about self worth and relationships. Then we splitted in to boys and girls and had some deeper discussions. The time was short so we agreed to continue next day after the youth meeting.
Next day Saturday we visited the city but also visited home where Jano lives. We meet his family mom and dad and his siter. That evening Jano was teaching and I have led worship. I have to say that I was plesently surprised to learn how Jano well thought young people from the John 10 - I am the shepherd.... After that time together nobody seems to wanted to leave so they stayed and wanted me to continue from yesterday to speak something about 5 love languages and how practicly it works in our marriage. It was really great time.
Sunday we visited the church I have grew up in Presov. Then we went for lunch with our friends Andruscakovci. For the night we stayed with the family that has same family name. And Oli just could not understand how it is possible that there is another family with the same name. Our kids and their kids clicked so well.
Monday we visited family friends in Kosice. We just wanted to encourge them and spend some time together as the mother of two little children has tumor on her brain that has been treated by irradiation. They still dont know the results.
Tuesday we went back to Presov to visit some more relatives and later in that evening we had meet with other stuff members and planned the KPM program.
Wednesday we had our TCK staff meeting and at lunch we have traveled home.
My observation and overall understanding is that Lutheran church in Bardejov has great potential, lots of activities and lots of young people. I was even able to talk to the pastor and learn few of his desires for the future.The family we stayed with has became another grand parents to our children. They loved them so much. The couple Benovy has served us greatly.
