This weekend I spent in Levice encouraging the team and meeting with some of the students from camp. On Thursday evening we had our club from the camp and had a good turnout. The theme was music so I dressed up like I was a famous singer. It was a lot of fun. The next day I had an English class that I taught there was a pretty good turnout to this class and I believe the students learned a lot from it. I was able to meet with each of the guy leaders and share some ideas about discipleship with them. I also spent sometime helping them think about some personal goals they could set for themselves. On Saturday evening I had the opportunity to speak to the high school youth group. I talked about Jesus‘ parable of the wicked servant and forgiveness. After this meeting I was going to go hang out with one of the boys from camp. This boy does not believe in God and is not interested in church. When I was talking to him on the phone I invited him to the youth group and to my surprise he said he would come. After wards we went bowling and he told me that he enjoyed the story I told and he would like to hear more. He was especially interested in the parables Jesus taught that were focused towards the religious leaders. He found in fascinating that Jesus also had a problem with “religion” without faith. This was a really good opportunity to share about God with him. I hope and pray that the guy leaders in the church will stay connected with him! Please be praying for the team in Levice that they will continue to be open to Gods’ leading in their town, and that they will not get discouraged. Also pray for boldness as they try to connect with students in their town.
