EXIT Tour Bardejov and Poprad

Hello friends, 

i am sorry i didn't write for longer time. In fall 2012 we experienced great tour in two slovak cities Bardejov and Poprad. We met well known lectors from past tours so its been really like a family meeting. Although we had new team members. The UK band called Faith Child. 

 

They do high quality music, they got heart for such a ministry and they were opened to share their lives with students from 4 high schools in Bardejov and 3 in Poprad. We are glad that even teachers were amazed and local youth groups were encouraged and inspired to tell gospel in their environment. You can see some pictures from tour here: and much more information, some even in English are at facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/exittoursk. Next tour is getting started in spring 2013 so stay tuned!

EXIT Tour Banska Bystrica

 I am glad we survived. Without problems. My highlight was meeting with one principal. During the day he went to see all seminars and he liked it. He went to Mr. Graumann seminar about holocaust and took Bible. I could see tears in his eyes when he came to say good bye. We agreed we will see each other soon. Its really a joy to cooperate with school, which values hard work and love for students.
220 people visited friday concert, local Fusion band warm up audience before Divine Attraction. Guys from the band and Rasto from local youth group shared their stories and talked about 4 symbols:
Heart (God created us and love us),
"X" (Sin separate us from Him, everybody sins),
Cross (Jesus died so we can live), 
"?" (What you gonna do about it?)
And the question is what local christians gonna do with crowd of youth in Banska Bystrica that started to think about purpose of life and said "I wanna know more about Jesus."

EXIT Tour training

Dear friends,
yesterday i visited Chvaly BB (Worship BB) which local christian from diferent denominations has once a month for couple years. It was good spiritual preparation for EXIT Tour training in Banska Bystrica tonight. We expecting about 40 youth members. We will teach how to share gospel, how Jesus or Paul did it and we wanna get ready for EXIT Tour which will start in week at 3 high schools in this city. To reach 1500 students we need to be ready and prepared. Please pray with us for teenagers in Banska Bystrica!

KPM 2012 (Conference for Youth Leaders)

Hop on! That was main motto of 19. Conference for youth leaders. Join what God is doing. It was fantastic 4 days full of Christ. 746 attenders could experience 6 main seasons, 4 tracks, 20 seminars, chapel, worship, skits, activities... it was hard, but very beautiful. I already heared couple youth leadres saying that they gonna do some changes in their lives and ministry. Again they got new passion for Christ alone. Glory!
I am adding video that our friends created just for KPM 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up8DWFdHwzI

Weekend and Club xp

As i promised i am bringing few photos from weekend with teenagers. 10 boys came, so it had special feeling. We were facing couple obsticles, but it was good sign that we are fighting for gospel.
We played soccer with locals, climb the castle and even helped with reconstruction. At night game we could prove that we are men, not boys :) Of course, we had possibility to look at Zacchaeus and change that happened after he met Jesus.
We continued today. First Club xp visited 11 people. It is a good begining. I hope we will not just have fun, but also discover His purpose for our lives.

Weekend with Košice people

Today afternoon i am leaving with Košice teenagers for weekend to Zborov, village with a castle. We wanna focus on Zacchaeus story from Lk.19, but we also prepared a lot of games and of course we gonna hike to castle. Please, pray for us as we will share gospel to these kids. I'll bring more info and photos later.

Election and what is next...

This saturday we got an election in Slovakia. I like The Simpsons and when i found this picture i laughted but later i realized its quite sad reality. People in Slovakia are frustrated more than ever.
Last couple weeks media revealed several causes. As young family we feel like living in Slovakia is getting harder.
I am thinkig if this country can find somebody like king David or Salamon. They were wise leaders who brought welth and peace for Israel. I know that few candidates in this election are christians, so there is still hope. May God save their characters, cause money and power can really change human. We are praying that Slovakia will get welth and spiritual health, but as we were watching recent reality show it just showed that sociaty goes oposite direction.
I'm not sure about church. How it gonna save. They live in their own world with glimpse of beauty outside, but many times sick inside. How church gonna looks in 21 century? Will be interesting for this generation? Will they carry that MESSAGE about Creator who loves us till the end? End on cross. People are searching for something. If they are missing Christ, there will allways be a hole. May the message about Christ filled this society from the bottom to the top.
