Next 7 days at camp
This is our (TCK) 9th camp with 9 different churches.
This year we have opportunity to spend 7 days with around 30 teenagers who will hear about Christ.
My main role is to help and encourage the leadership team in leading the camp. I will also lead the band and make some loud noise at the evenings program.
I am taking my whole family and I look forward in to what God will do at this camp.
At the same time we are still trying to sell our flat and by a house and move all our staff to the new place. Well these days we only had few interested people looking at our flat but no serious offers. Well after last night when we as a family where kneeling and praying for movement and miracle we had a call today that there is a family wanting to buy our flat but not for our offered price. Their price is 68 thousand EUR which is lower from our but we decide that we will go for it since they have all the money in cash ready to put it on our account.
Yesterday we wrote the owner of the house that we can not guarantee that we will have all the money on 30th of july and told them that they can decide wheather they should wait for us more. Well they decided they will wait longer. Praise the Lord.
So please be praying over us at the camp and with the move. Also pray once we will be in the house for potential donors who will help with these things:
- Kitchen (3500$) There is no kitchen furniture at all.
- Bathroom 1 (2800 $)
- Guests Bathroom 2 (2300 $)
- Carpets (715 $)
- Paint for the house inside (570$)
- Exchanging windows 5000$
The good thing is I have got a word from president of our US / Josiah Venture organization through where all the financies are being done that they will not take usual 10% from this gifts towards the house.
Also pray for my involvement at the biggest christian festival where I will be leading worship with around 3000 people.

Mom lets pray!
As you know we are selling our flat so that we could buy the house.
Well today we had a family interested in buying our flat but who never lived in the flat before and we had most horrible experience with them. Everything they commented in the flat as bad and where very negative on how our flat looks like. They were trying to prove to us as how much they will have to invest in renovation so they lowered the price as their offer to 68000 from our 80000.
When they left Zuzka was very sad. As she cryed Viktor (4) came to her and said: "Mom lets pray!"
Lord I pray that mom would not be sad and helps us to sell our flat and buy a house. Our kids are big encouragement for us in those days and they have more faith then us. Johanka (6) said: "I believe we will be able to go to the house and everything will be all right."
We only have 13 days now to get money from our flat and we do not have a proper buyer yet. We might have to let go of the house so the owner could sell it to others who are waiting.
We also went to the bank to see how could we get the remaining 30000 as loan and after 2 hours of informations we realized why we never took any loan before. Not only that we should after 18 years pay 47000 but they would own our house in that period.
It is difficult time at the moment but we know that God is over us.

Fusion ministry to Bratislava
Tonight two churches and its elders boards together with youth leaders has gathered around the possibility to have Fusion in their churches. They invited me and our TCK director to present them Fusion.
Bratislava is our capital city and it has the most needs in this direction.
We need wisdom what should be our next steps. They will probably start this ministry next year 2012 in September.

23 Days more
This is the number of days that we have till we can purchase the house.
Today we had few visits in our flat of those who would like to buy it but no serious buyer yet.
Today we received 90 EUR as first contribution towards the move. Praise God.
Today as I fast and pray I am also thinking a lot about the kind of the heart I have. I was thinking abouth how selfish I am. Here I am willing to fast for the house but how many times have I fasted for lost people? Today I have read from Luke 21 The Widow’s Offering:1While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. 2Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins.3“I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. 4For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.” And I was reminded that it is All that God wants of our life not just what is left. So God did changed my perspective and showed me that If He is going to give us that house it will not be for us but for His kingdom and that he will only delight in it if we let Him use that house for His glory.

Can you help an old lady like me?
As I was going to Kompas today I have met this 72 years old lady by the name Božena. She had nice black clothes and I didn't expect her question on to me. She asked me: "Do you have 50 cents to help old lady? She explained why. I have asked few more questions about her family and then I LISTENED. She was nice old lady needed to eat something. Actually she decided to go to the store and on the longer walk she decided that she will ask few people. Well one of those actually 3rd was Draho. The lady is Catholic and she prays often to Marry. I had great chance to tell her about Love of Christ and that she can have personal relationship with Him. As we talked together we walked in to the shop and I offered her to take what she needs the most. She didn't took much she choose some basic stuff like sugar, pasta, oil, lentils, milk etc. As I paid for it I had unexplainable joy to share what was given to me on the first place.
After we walked out the store and talked more she said that tomorrow is her 72 birthday. Even greater joy filled my heart.
I have been visited by an opportunity to step in faith in to someone's life. I have learned that there is so much pain out there but that we are here to offer Christ's way of life.
Well I thought to share this with you.

It is interesting how God is teaching me that when I decided to pray and fast for the house and for the financies that He is giving me similar opportunities on my side when I have a chance to be a giver better to say "the one who is passing over what was given by God."

YES to The HOUSE - the call for prayer and fasting
Yes we have definitelly said YES to the house we wrote you about earlyer.The price is now 110 000 EUR and we have 30 days to collect all of the financies for it.
We started to sell our flat where we lived for the last 5 years. We are asking 80 000 EUR and we are really praying and fasting that God would do Miracle with this. Miracle with fast selling process for this amount and then Miracle for gaining the 30 000 EUR that we do not have. We do not know yet how we will pay it all but we know that God wants us there and so we have great reason to believe He will take care for it all and even more. I tend to limit God on how He will do it but I will wait in fasting and prayer. If God leads you to join us in this way too we would appreciate it.
After 30 days if we do not have needed financies the house will be sold to someone else. If we will have the money we can start preparing it for our moving and the start of our new venture in Banska Bystrica.
Glory to be to God in all what He will do.
