Well I know that I just posted about my experience so far in Presov, but I have something new to write already. I traveled this weekend to the town of Levice where I did my second camp. I was there for the purpose of encouraging and equipping the guys on the team there to connect with the younger guys from camp. It was a really rewarding time for me! I was able to help the guys on the team connect some things in their minds about how to connect with the male students from camp and to be involved in their lives. I was also able to have a conversation with two of the boys from camp about God and what He means to me. We talked about how the church has screwed their thinking of God and how God was different, that he loves them for who they are. In the end I think they understand God a little better than they did before. On Sunday I was able to connect two of the older guys on the team with them. Please be praying for the guy leaders in this group. They are very afraid to step out and take the initiative with younger guys, Pray that they will have courage and strength! The final thing I would like to share was the amazing opportunity God gave me to connect with one girl I met on a train. I was sitting in the train compartment on my trip back from Levice and a girl came in and sat down. She spoke to me which I thought was interesting. Generally I do not want to talk to people on the train because my Slovak is not very good, but I thought to my self maybe I should try. So I proceeded to speak to her in my broken Slovak. Lo and behold the conversation turned out to be really good. We spoke for nearly an hour and a half in Slovak. I shared what I was doing in Slovakia and that it was because I was a Christian, she informed me that she did not believe in God and told me it was because of her parents. I was able to share the gospel with her and to share how God had changed my life, IN SLOVAK!!!!!!! This was amazing to me because I know it was not me, I do not speak Slovak well enough to have a conversation like this! I know it was the power of the Holy Spirit working in me!! It was sooo powerful for me! Though she did not accept Christ or anything she told me that it had given her something to think about.
