I have written many times about my guys, but they are really the joy of my ministry right now. These guys are growing in community and in the Lord. I have been challenging them into small leadership roles and they are succeeding in them. We are meeting not only once but multiple times in various […]
This year, I traveled down to Slovenia to visit my dear friends, the Werdebaughs, over Christmas. It was such a time to be there! This family is so dear to my heart and even though they live far away, I try my best to visit them whenever I can. Shawn has been one of my […]
I had the opportunity to spend time with many people before Christmas. It almost felt as though Christmas already happened, even before it did. As I normally do I started the season with my Christmas party for the Polohas at my flat. I love this time every year to celebrate with them and give their kids fun […]
This year our Christmas concert in Banska Bystrica was a little different than normal. We realized we did not have so many Christmas songs, so we decided to make it more “Christmas like” through other means. We had Christmas gifts for people, a meal, many single acts, lights, and the Gospel presentation. I really enjoyed […]
During this season was the premier of the new Star Wars. My small group guys and I are big Star Wars fans, so we decided, of course, to go see the movie when it came out in Theaters here. Before we went to the movie we had dinner and spent time talking about what God […]
This last weekend we had our first youth group camp with our 5o5 students. We went up to a cabin and spent the weekend playing games, fellowshipping, worshiping God, and studying young people who made a difference in the Bible. I really enjoy these young people and feel honored that God has called me to […]
Every year, Thanksgiving in JV is such a blessing for me. I love the time to be able to fellowship with friends and really family, as so many feel like family to me. This year was especially blessed as we spent time playing sports, eating, thanking God, and even enjoying the JV Kid’s talents. God is […]
This weekend I took three guys with me out East to help with their Fusion. They needed help with their band, as they are still new and do not have many good Student musicians. During the train ride I made us sit in the train car without Wifi so that we were forced to talk […]
I wrote in a previous blog, that we started our youth group this year. Last year we tried to, but it seemed to be limping a long. This year we have planned well and built a great leadership team. To this date after three months we average between 30-40 youth. This is a big number […]
This weekend my small group met after church and spend the afternoon together. We spent about two hours reading the Bible, talking through life, and praying together. Afterwards we headed out to the woods with all of our gear to have some Air-soft battles. It is a good combination to have Bible study time, connected […]
