The staff conference was great!

Our staff conference was a very encouraging time!  We spent 3 days with all of our co-workers in Slovakia, both Slovaks (14 staff, 2 "Jesus" film workers) and Americans (3 staff). (Click on any of the pictures here to see them larger).

We worshipped together, and played games together.

                           

We talked and ate together.  (Obviously, some of us were less than impressed with certain me nu offerings at meals.  Maria, one of our "staff kids", expresses her opinion of the beets).

We heard ministry updates from all of our teams: Campus Ministry (2 locations), Athletes in Action and the "Jesus" film ministry. 

We also heard challenging, encouraging teaching.  Our  dear friend, Tomas Kriska (a local Slovak pastor) and his wife, Ester taught on being authentic in relationships and in ministry. 

Now that our Staff Conference is behind us, we're focusing fully on getting back into the regular rhythm of life here.  It's not easy after being gone for just over 4 months!

Please also pray for us as we seek to be available to help our 2 oldest children, Jonathan and Anna, who are in college back in Texas.  Thank the Lord for the way we are able to use the internet to stay connected over a distance of 5000 miles!  It makes missionary life and parenting a whole lot easier!

Thank you for your prayers!
