We've arrived!

This morning, the team convened in Vienna.

We got our rental car and drove to Bratislava and Devin for some authentic Slovak food and sightseeing, and despite some navigational difficulties made it to Berea this evening. We met our hosts Peter and Monica. We are so thankful that God provided safety on the roads and some kind strangers who helped us with directions.

Please pray that we will get a good night's rest and have time tomorrow to prepare for our week's program. Pray for safety for all of those traveling to take part in this retreat, and for the start of deep relationships.

We appreciate all your prayer support!

    Good Afterrnoon Dana and Maggie and Slovak Team,

    Praying for the start of deep relationships. "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowkedg of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men-the testimony given in its proper time. And for this purpose l was appoint d a herald and an apostle-l am telling the truth, l am not lying-and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.

    Blessings to all of you in the name of Jesus,

    Liz

One week done!

It is hard to believe we have a whole week of camp under our belts! We finished off our teaching of teens this morning with Arameh presenting on creation vs evolution. After lunch, Helena (one of the leaders here) had the kids all talk about who their influences were, what they had enjoyed about camp, and what they thought about God. It was amazing to see that they had been impacted by our ministry. Pray the lessons stay with them. We left mid-afternoon for some weekend travels in the Orava region. Pray that we will be able to rest and enjoy this break. Please keep next week's ministry in your prayers. We have learned that many of those signed up to attend are not believers. Pray we will have wisdom in how we approach them and for the Spirit to prepare their hearts. Thank you so much for your prayers. We could not do this work without you!

Camp: Day 1 and Day 2

It's hard to believe we are already two days into our camp session! We have had two hectic days here in Slovakia. We started our teaching ministry and have been having fun playing games with the teens here as well as doing manual labour. Maggie has taught three sessions so far on surrendering ourselves to God. It has been challenging to speak through an interpreter, as well as having to cut down the presentation in order to hold the teens' attention. Dana will start teaching another series tomorrow. Please pray that the seeds we've sown will grow. We have also had the chance to serve around the building doing raking, weeding, washing windows, etc. Arameh did some heavy labour helping remove a metal pole from the ground! We are encouraged seeing all the teens take part in the work without complaining. Tomorrow afternoon we will get to join the midweek service of a local church. Pray we will encourage the church members and likewise be encouraged by them as we are reminded
