The Future

Hello Everyone! I want to thank every one of you that supported me this year whether it was through prayer or financial support. This summer was amazing whether it was young people coming to Christ or young leaders growing in their leadership and relationship with Christ. For those of you that follow my blog, you know that God really worked this summer in Slovakia and in my own life. One of the biggest things God was working in this summer was affirming my future. This summer I applied to move to Slovakia and to work for Josiah Venture. I was accepted! This is so amazing and I am overwhelmed with the fact that God continues to affirm His calling in my life. Many of you know that I have been thinking about this for awhile and are probably excited that I have finally made the decision! Well of course this means that there are a lot of things that I need to start doing to prepare for this! One of the main things is support raising! I will in the next couple weeks be sending out information about this in the mail and beginning to contact people about this. If you are interested in hearing more about this you can email me at: Joshuadanielhoward@gmail.com

Levice Camp, Last but not least

Well I finished my last camp for the summer in Slovakia. It was in the town of Levice, The second town I worked in last year. This camp was really great, because I could really see growth in the guy leaders from last years camp. Two of the guys Rasto (bottom Left) and Tomas (bottom Right) were there again. Last year they were pretty uninvolved in building relationships with the guy students at camp because of fear. During the fall last year I spent a lot of time with these guys discipling and encouraging them. This year at camp they decided to pray for a specific guy that they wanted to begin building a relationship with at camp. They did build these relationships and did such an amazing job. I am so grateful for what God has done in their lives this last year. One of the boys they were focusing on was a boy named Patrik (first picture) who came to camp hanging his head from a family where the Father is a drunk and the mother gives him stuff to get him to leave her alone. He left camp with a different demeanor. He came to Christ at camp! He came into my room one night and said "I am different Josh." He is now home and dealing with parents that don't love him and a girl friend who thinks he is stupid for believing in God. Please pray for him and for Tomas (on left) who is discipling him. I am now preparing to come home with all that entails. Please pray for me as I adjust to being home again and preparing for the future. I have more to share with you in the future and would love to talk with you in person. I will be sending out letters soon.
