The fall Begins

To begin the fall I am going to the after parties in the towns where we did camp. The after party is a party that KECY has that is an end of the summer party and also introduces the students to the clubs or youth groups that will be going on during to school year. The hope is that students will want to come and be connected during the year and have more oppertunities to hear the gospel or grow if they are already a believer. The first party I went to was in the town where I did my second camp, Levice. The party was really neat, we had a good turn out and a lot of kids that are interested in continuing to come during the year. I had some good converstions with a couple students about God and what they were thinking. I believe there are a couple of students who are coming close to understanding of God. The second after party that I went to was the one for my last camp, Roznava. As you have probably read this camp was full of students who did not believe in God and had really not been exposed to any real Christianity before. This party also went really well. The biggest thing I was encouraged with was how close I was seeing the group grow. It seems now after camp the students are really wanting to be a part of the community and to come to the youth group. There are also a few who are making some very serious steps toward Christ! Please pray for the students here that God will continue to soften their hearts through their connection with the Youth Group and also pray for the leaders, Rudo and Lenka, that they will have the wisdom in leading and the energy to keep up with everyone. Also one of the girls from this town got into a car accident with her father and her father is not doing very well from what I hear. As I move into the fall please pray that I will have God's wisdom in my ministry, that I will know where to connect and where to spend my energy!
