Last night we got a phone call letting us know that Amber’s grandfather, Herman, had passed away. Grandpa Herman had been ill for some time now and it was his desire to be making eye contact with Jesus, rather than nurses. It is almost one year to the day since Amber’s Nana passed away. We… Read More See You Later
Life sometimes offers up moments that take you entirely by surprise and give you little, if any, chance to process before forcing you to move on. Yesterday was one such moment. Mozaika, the church-plant here in Nitra, meets in a student hotel (like a dorm) for our Sunday program. The managers of the facility have… Read More No Room in the…Dorm?
After a few false starts to our trip and some last minute changes, we ended up making the 5 hour drive (rather than the 9 hour train ride) to Ženavlje, Slovenia. We were running late and had no idea what we were looking for as we followed directions from a text message. As we drove… Read More IČKA
Keeping with our theme of different approaches to time, we are getting ready for a last minute trip to Slovenia (it’s the red one on the map). Milan, a pastor in nearby Nové Zámky, was stuck for someone to travel with him to Slovenia where he is the main speaker at their youth camp. Our… Read More Time Warp – back to youth camp we go

One such reason for this review on all things chronological is that Slovaks and Canadians tackle time in two distinct manners. With the strengthening of the EU, Slovaks sense of time is beginning to match those of traditional… Read More Hang Pictures or Life Chunks
Does anybody else wish the the dollar would stabilize? When we first moved to Slovakia 5 months ago, the Canadian Dollar (CAD) was getting us a lot further with the Slovak Koruna / Crown (SKK). Where 1 CAD used to bring in 22 SKK, it now fetches only 18.5. We think there is a bit… Read More Misery thy Name is Depreciation
July 1st – happy Canada Day! We have a feeling that we will not be seeing any fireworks tonight. Instead we are off to a nearby village to meet up with friends who are planting a church and be a part of their small group meeting. A different kind of spectacular!
There is nothing like a roadtrip in Europe. Most foreigners navigate through the Scottish highlands or the Dalmatian Coast, but the Armitage-Price team blazes a trail out of Slovakia, through Hungary and straight on to Serbia! It was an odd experience leaving the EU and actually having to present our passports to cross a border.… Read More "You Call this a Cappuccino!"
At the crack of ridiculous-o’clock tomorrow morning we will begin our drive down through Slovakia and Hungary to Serbia. We will be assisting Sheldon as he facilitates the third, and final, NLI Organix Conference (leadership development). So if you think of us over the next few days, you could mention these things to God: -that… Read More Ideme do Srbsko (we are going to Serbia)
