Europe is a connected community and we occasionally get to be a part of something beyond the national borders of where we live. See what is happening around the continent.
Włocławek, as we’ve said before, is an industrial town. The mornings are cold, complete with ice on the car and fog to rival London. The days are sunny and people love to be out and about (in fact we stumbled upon what we can only describe as a “gardening colony” behind our apartment block). The… Read More Morning Fog and Evening Smoke
Last week we attended NLI’s biannual EuroSummit Conference in Spain. The conference is designed to promote what NLI is doing throughout the 48 nations of Europe. We’ve linked two of their videos to this post which capture both the need and what NLI is doing in Europe (admittedly, they are commercial-esque). There was work to… Read More NLI EuroSummit 2009
I (Amber) had the opportunity to travel to El Espinar, Spain to be part of the Salem Church’s annual womens weekend…. and what a weekend it was. The Spanish are a passionate, loud, intense, life-loving people and I love them for it! As this was not my first time working with the Salem church, there… Read More You DO NOT Know Intense Until you Have Been to a Conference with 100 Spanish Women
OMEGA is a 1-year discipleship course based out of Summit Pacific College (our Alma mater). Amber did the program and then was an intern for 3 years while completing her studies. Matthew interned for 1. We were both challenged and encouraged by our time with OMEGA and believe that it is a dynamic blend of… Read More The OMEGA-bites
Life is a comedy…or at least one has to choose to see the humor in it. As we’ve mentioned, there was to be a training conference in Slovenia that we were going to help with. This presented a great opportunity to see some friends in Ljubljana we made last August while speaking at the Slovene… Read More Slovenija – Slovinsko – Slovenia…however you say it, that’s where we went
We just returned from assisting at NLI’s 3rd ORGANIX conference at a monestary (pictured above) in El Espinar, Spain. This conference saw over 100 leaders come together from across Spain for a time of teaching and connection. We taught a seminar twice on the role creativity and problem solving plays in strong leadership. Also, we… Read More Leadership Conference : Spain
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
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)
