The Amazing Race

Well it has been a great week! The rest of the interns, for the summer, arrived at the airport in Vienna, Austria on Wednesday. From there we began The Amazing Race (this is like the show Amazing Race, if you have seen it). There were intern teams from all of the countries of the organization Josiah Venture. These were the groups we competed against. The goal of this time was to work as a team, get to know one another, and learn to work through conflict before getting into the ministry. This was a great learning experience. Our team finished the race in third place! We have now begun training for the summer at Josiah Venture's training facility in Czech Republic. This will be a great week of learning for the interns. Please pray that God will use this time to grow all of the interns and to prepare us for His work this summer!

Three days

Well I have been here three days already and it feels like a while. I went to Presov today (the town I lived in last year) because I will not be there for camp this year. While I was here I was able to connect with my old neighbor kids Milan and Lydka and spent most of the day with them. Later I spent time with Maťo one of the boys I was discipling last year. He is doing really well he is involved in the youth group and is going to be a leader at the camp this year. If you do not know who these kids are please look back in my blog posts to September and October of last year. I would like to ask you to please pray for Milan and Lydka as they still do not know Jesus as their personal savior. Also pray for the other Interns as they prepare to fly over here on Monday! God Bless you all!

In Slovakia

Well thank you all for your support! I am here in Slovakia I arrived safely. Unfortunately I was driving a friend to the train station and turned down the wrong street, got pulled over by the police and fined $75. WOW! what a start to the summer and I have only been here 3 hours! As result I am already kind of discouraged. I could really use your prayer this summer! I will begin to try and write weekly from here on out about how the summer is going.

Almost There!

Well my departure date is just around the corner to leave for Slovakia. I am excited but going through the leaving jitters! I Almost have the amount I need for the summer. I found out that I am only about $200 short. This is Great! Thank you to all of you who supported me, you are such a Blessing. Thank you even more those of you who are praying! It is so important and such a blessing to know that you all have my Back! As I am thinking about the summer I ask that you pray for me as I lead others, that I will do it in a gracious and loving way. I also ask if you would be willing to pray for the young people that will be impacted this summer that their hearts would be open to God and his word! Pray for the teams that will be in charge of the camps that God will protect them and guide them! I will begin to post more as the summer gets underway! Thank you all! God Bless!
