What a great opportunity to get away from the office desk and lay my hands on peoples lives. This summer we did 7 english conversational evangelistic camps. We did it together with 7 different local churches accross our country. In this way we are fulfilling our vission statement “Through our whole lives to train, help and inspire youth leaders who are raising up the next generation of Christ followers in the church”. The way how we from TCK did it is that each one of us became a member of the local's church leadership team for that camp. Beforehand we would help train the teams and then we would walk closely with the slovak leader of the camp. In this way we really do not lead the camp but are enabling a local church to do it. We help providing the US team of students that would come and live christ's life, speak in english and love students with His love. And the result after they hear gospel message and are challenged to make decission for Christ they do come to Him. We also help with the follow up that usually goes around the whole year till the next summer camp.
This year my little family and I were invited to LEVICE. I have became part of team of 10 young passionet young people full of expectations and faith to see God entering in to their 36 nonchristian friends. And yes on the last night when the invitation was offered ...two of them did it and around 8 of them wanted to pray and disscus about life issues. We praise God for that. One of the highlights was to observe te Slovak team. Wen we gave invitation that was one last room where people if they wanted they could come to exept Christ in their life and all the slovak team went to that room and prayed together for 3 hours. End each time someone would come one of them would join to that person and help them to make most important decission in their life. I was moved by this. Just BEAUTIFULL. God has blessed this church by giving them such faithful young servants who are passionet to welcome new believers in to His kingdom.
The biggest highlight for me was that again I could take my whole family to this camp. Oliver would usually stay at the evenings main program where we went through the STORY of GOD. One night ather one of the storyes Oli said: "Wow now I know how Satan became to exist." I love to see how my whole family becomes part of this ministry as well.
After the camp we had after camp party where some parents came and two of the girls even gave their testimony. Now they continue to meet with them on bible studies and partyes.
