Alica has continued leading her small group with a couple of breaks this month due to Spring Break in Slovakia and her surgery. The girls are studying GRO and specifically talking about the importance of spiritual family in a Christian walk. The girls continue to ask good questions and desire to grow in their faith. […]
The Pathfinders are now outdoors with the nice weather. We continue our study of James together. We have been debating and learning about what it means to be justified through faith and not have faith that is dead but is shown by good works. We spent our last group hiking and then sitting in the […]
This month we celebrated Beny being 3 months old. It feels surreal that he has been with us for 3 whole months. His bilirubin levels have gone down significantly (Praise the Lord), and his pediatrician complimented him for growing and being on top of things developmentally. Beny is a bundle of joy. His eyes are […]
This month in our youth group, we talked about war and what a Chrisitan’s response should be to fighting for their country. This arose as we thought about youth the same age in Ukraine being required to stay and fight. Should we or should we not, as believers, fight and kill others. It was a […]
Tonight we had our first worship and prayer night with our youth. We spent time praying for our church, youth, city, and personal lives. We asked for God’s will to be done among us. We worshiped him and praised him for who He is. It was a beautiful night and something we have not done […]
Alica and her group have continued to make their way through the Gro study that they have been doing. They enjoy getting to know each other and growing together as a group. The last two months with Alica being in the hospital and now having Beny have made it harder to meet with them, but […]
This month in the Pathfinders, we celebrated Max’s 18th birthday (on the left)! This group is such a great group and has a natural bond in Christ! Oliver in the maroon has been leading this school year. After disciplining Oliver for many years (Josh), it is such a joy to see him step into this […]
After meeting once with our students for the first members training, we went into lockdown the next week and have been online. Although it is not ideal, we are used to it since it was this way all last year. The students are very interested in growing and learning more about God and our faith. […]
This month, we could actually meet with our Josiah Venture colleagues for Thanksgiving! Besides the Kid’s camp, which has not all staff, this is the first time we were able to meet with other JV people since the pandemic began in 2020! It was such a blessing to be there and for Alica to finally […]
This November, we will begin making a couple of changes to our youth meetings. We are doing this for a couple of reasons. One is that Alica will be less involved with our little boy coming, which will limit our ability quite a bit. The other thing we need to navigate is the country going […]
