Church day.

Our church has been remembering its beginning when we started 3 years ago. For this cause we have gone out with the whole chruch family and the friends and few neighbours. We cooked out "gulas" played a lot fun games and few even went for rafting.
This was a good outreach event. We could meet some people that seldomly come in to our community.
There are also few new things connected with my involvement in the leadership of our church. I have asked for a year of break. Part of this is due to my deep desire and I believe a GOds call to write new songs but also because of quite full schedule with our national organization TCK.
Our kids love when Zuzka and I are teaching sunday school and this was the sunday we could do it.

Banska Bystrica - Part 2

So we went to visit Banska Bystrica. On Saturday we visited the school and just spend time socializing, discussing and just hanging together. On sunday they had their special program at the chruch for first graders. Actually first graders had a musical that they played to whole church and their nonbelivers parents. THe musical was is English language. Waw what a moment to have filled church with this kind of people and be able to share the Word of God with them.
So now we could even touch what we have been talking about. I was even leading one worship song at that meeting. After the chruch we had full tables with sandwiches and cakes and a lot of conversation went on. Slavo and Mata aproached us and asked: "SO when COULD YOU MOVE?"
So far there have been no decission yet. It looks exciting and challenging but I really was not looking for to go somewhere elese from Zilina. Most of all I would not want to leave KOMPAS ministry that is under Josiah Venture. I spoke little bit with my boss of this situation and so far there is no connection between our vision at TCK and what I would do there If I want to stay with TCK...

I do not have peace to stop thinking about it. I'd like to investigate this more. I really don't know exactly what could be our next step. The only thing I know is that I have committed for one more year here in Zilina with TCK. But what could be in one year time I do not know.
I can imagine a few things that could happen once we are there. One is to help youth leaders in this city to continue do outreach together. Even to invite them and their teams to help organize the whole KPM-conference for youth leaders which would strengthen their teams a lot. Organize a extended TCK office and find new workers with the calling to HELP, TRAIN and INSPIRE youth workers...And then the things connected to the church where we have got invitation from.
So please pray with us. We need you in this.

Oli the sports cup winner

Well this is the story of a boy who is stout to win. We have been taking him twice a week for the whole year for this hour of sport time with another 15 boys. His hight usually rank him third from the lowest end. His waight too. So small and light but so fast and stout.



Through the year they have learned to be disciplined to listen and excersize. They have learned most popular sports. They did a lot of running.

The day of counting the points from the whole year training came and we have all went... The gym where they did their sport was full of students and parents. First they call all of them to receive the medail for participation.

Then Third place for the triathlon, First place for speciall clubs compettition with bariers against the time.

By this time we thought that will be just enough but then it came. Oli has won the cup as youngest and his times where better then some times of older generation.

We have celebrated this surprisse and realized that God just made Oli to move and move fast. So when I have talked with him which school would he like to attend he told me that it would be the one where he could become even better in sports.

Woman's conference 2009

Zuzkas passion to see growing, encouraged, passion filled woman of Slovakia that are living according HIS heart has stand strong over last 10 years. And am am very privilleged to be able to walk closely beside her.
This year together with 4 very capable woman they hosted a conference with 156 woman from different denominations. They came from all over the Slovakia and for 3 days they have provided a good teaching through main speaker from Czech republic (Brigit Vimr) and other seminars. They also have had great worship time and lots of testimonies. Preparation for this conference was full of faith because all until 3 weeks before Zuzka went to a different womans conference in Czech republic they did not have a mains speaker yet. She just meet right speaker for their conference and she even could come for the exact dates. We praise God for this provision.
The rest of our family stayed with me at the same place where conference took place. I love this time with our kids. We setup the sound and video and then we go for lots of fun to the woods or children attractions. It was fun, and sometimes not so much fun that at one moment after we watched some cartoon one of our little one broke the screen on our Notebook. It is usable and We are still using it even it is broken.

At the moment we are searching the market with books for woman and find out with book could Zuzka translate. If you have any suggestion please write us. We have been also thinking about writting one on the topic "I have married nonbeliever." It would be a collection of stories.
