EXIT Tour and KPM / spring 2012

I can tell you with joy, that EXIT Tour project will continue. After Žilina, Košice, Nitra and Prešov, this spring we will be in 5th city - Banska Bystica! We gonna cooperate with the most churches and we'll visit at least 3 high schools, serve over 1500 students.
I have been in Banska Bystrica already twice and i was always leaving with good feeling, that God is already working in the city and we can just hop on.
By the way "Hop on" is the main theme of KPM (conference for youth leaders) we are preparing in the end of March. For more info go on: http://tckompas.sk/kpm/

Russia

Some of you might know that we have been in Russia. We wanted use our free time wisely so we decided to go to Russia and help with youth camp. It was my 3rd time there. We were helping slovak missionary Julo Matta who lives there with his family.
St. Petersburg is amazing city with 6 milion inhabitants, beautiful places, rich history and nice people. We had opportunity to visit the most interesting sightseeings, celebrate New Year which is, by the way, the biggest holiday in the country and help at youth camp. We prepared some games, had testimony, helped with guitar workshop. This camp was graduation practice for 9 youth workers who studied last year and half at Youth Leader Course. Katka and me prepared presentation about Slovakia, youth work and our ministry over here. I would never say that i will be in Russia 3 times. There is nothing impossible for God. You can be part of His work somewhere over the planet if you really want.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas full of peace and joy, and lot of succes in family and work in 2012! Thank you for your prayers till now and for prayers while we will be in Russia. All preparations went well.
I was encouraged when i visited planning meeting of Bardejov youth group week ago. I remmember when we were less than 10 people at youth group. Now there are more than forty just workers, responsible for clubs, camps, small groups...its a joy!
I was glad when they invited me to preach and lead worship at Christmas club at Dec.22th, we looked at prophetes and how little Jesus fulfiled all of that.
Rejoice, Son of God came to the Earth to made eternity available for us!

Russia again

Hi,
some of you might know that me and Katka are going to Russia for 2 weeks. We wanna help Julo Matta (slovak missionary) and his family with youth camp there. We are very excited about it!
Russia is the bigest country of the world. There was comunism for many years and if you are watching news you know that it doesnt seems perfect right now. Main religion is orthodox. Minority churches are considered cults. People often looking for spirituality wrong ways.
i had privilege to be there 2 times but for Katka it will be premiere. We will have days off so we decided that we wont eat christmas cakes and just watch TV whole season. We gonna taste some of adventure and help others. I often think about people in Russia since my first visit. I remember guy who was addicted before he gave his life to Jesus.
We manage to cover all expences for flight tickets, visa, accomodation...i want to thank all sponsors. Klub31 from Bratislava, ECAV church Bardejov, Gajdos family, Zuzka S and David S. You helped us a lot! If you wanna be part of good work in Russia, please, contact me. We covered our expences but we would like to help them as much as possible also in financial way. Also i wanna ask and dare you for prayer support while we will be there. Dec.27th-Jan.9th.
I used to watch documentaries when i was younger and hoped that one day i will have opportunity to visit all those places on our planet. God saw my desire and used it for His glory. Believe, there is nothing impossible for Him!

Youth group in Obišovce

Yesterday I had privilege to preach at Obisovce youth group. They are going through series of "colourful" topics. Every week they talk about some colour, which is conected with bible verse.
Yesterday was all YELLOW, cause we spoke about Treasure. Main verse was from Mathew 6 where we can read that where our treasure is, there is our heart.
God said he will provide all we need. Someone can get more, someone less, but we need to remember, that we are only administrators of His property at this world. We have everything that matters in Jesus already.

Disciples who make disciples

We believe in Training centre Kompas (JV), that local church is Christs bride. I know church doesnt have good resume in these days. Reason could be, that is it lead by unperfect people. Anything where people are in charge is unperfect. Fortunatelly, it isnt about us, but God. I know many people outside of church and many inside. Maybe some of them just pretend something. I am not here to judge. Many of my friends trust Jesus and giving Him driving wheel of their lives. Do they do mistakes? Sure.

We will meet to study more about God and how he is working in this world with boys from my hometown Bardejov, who are studying in Kosice or Presov. We got study material called Shift19, that is focused on changing believer to a disciple who makes disciples. We will look closer how Jesus did it and how we can apply that to our lives. After small groups we will play soccer, you can come join us to keep healthy not just soul but also body :) Thank you for prayers and support for Katka and me.

Miracle

Maybe you experience miracles regularly. Maybe they are happening around you all the time, but you don't realize it! Let me tell you about one. There was a miracle last week of october in Nitra and first week of november in Presov. 6 schools, over 3000 students, more than 250 lives started new life with Christ, 600 students at concerts and 300 Bibles given....i think we shook with both cities and woke up young generation. There is something more you can know, live and discover. Our lives are set for eternity and many during EXIT Tour turn to that direction.
Yes, preparation was hard, we didn't sleep much, packing and unpacking sound system couple times a day also wasn't very pleasant. BUT it was worthy! We had a lot of fun, great conversations with students and we shared about God who created them and desperately desire for them.
I wanna thank all churches in both cities, volunteers, lectors from ACET, Graumanns for sharing their story, Sindy - came from Germany to talk truth about pornography. Thanks to EXIT team, you are precious.
" I can't take some things back, but i can start new life." said one girl after program at school. "Man, I discovered purpose of life, i enjoy it, this has a pursope!" said youthleader after he saw people coming to Christ.
When i hear this, all this miracle makes total sence for me.
