Important moments in our work and personal lives.

We’ve Been Rev’d

The annual Eurasia Regional Conference is a time for international workers to get together, talk shop, build community, tackle some house keeping matters, and encourage one another. It is a highlight for us every year and being part of community is a high value for us. We know that for some workers, in isolated contexts,… Read More We’ve Been Rev’d

Time with the Tribe

Within 48 hours of our return from the Czech Republic, Matthew’s sister and mother joined us here in Slovakia. 4 days later Matthew’s father arrived from Ukraine where he had been on a missions trip. It was great to have family here. It makes it so much easier to share stories over the phone when… Read More Time with the Tribe

Life Moments

Today, Matthew’s sisters will graduate from college. They have worked hard, contributed to student and community life and had fun while doing it. We honestly could not be more proud. Distance has become a regular part of our lives; an element of this lifestyle that we accept as reality and simultaneously fight (armed with Facebook,… Read More Life Moments

Wrapping Up 2008

On December 20th we had a program for kids from our church and the surrounding community. There were also some new families who came from the nearby social assistance housing.

Whose Laughing Now?!

This past Tuesday evening I (Matthew) was helping at a discussion club our church hosts for university students. It’s called Potichu Nahlas (Quietly Outspoken). As part of an icebreaker game everyone had to make up a story about the person to their left. So my friend got quite a few laughs at my expense as… Read More Whose Laughing Now?!

See You Later

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

God Speaks – With and Without an Accent

So this is my very first post. I usually leave the writing to Matthew, but he’s convinced me to try my hand at it. We’ve been in Slovakia for a little over three weeks now and I can honestly say that the transition to a new country, culture and language has been a good one.… Read More God Speaks – With and Without an Accent
