On To Slovakia

This is a little change of pace.  I have the privilege of leading a team from Faith to participate in a music camp outside of Bratislava Slovakia.  We get to work with people near and dear to us from Fort Collins as we reunite for a couple of weeks playing music and sharing the gospel with the youth of Slovakia.  Making the trip even more special is the fact that there are four young interns serving in Slovakia for the summer from Faith making our arrival a family reunion of sorts.

The plan for the next week and a half is to update the journey of this mission team as we have the opportunity to use music to minister to the youth and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them.  Many of the countries in Easter and Central Europe have emerged from the communist oppression of the former Soviet Union.  A characteristic of communism has been that these countries are very atheistic.  The younger generations in these regions essentially have not heard about God or the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Our team is exhausted from our journey adjusting to an 8 hour time difference.  We are excited to begin our preparations as the camp starts on Monday.  I hope to post pictures as I have wifi available which at best can be a hit or miss thing.  Thanks for praying for this team and the work that lies ahead for us!
