We believe God listens when people talk to him. Dialoguing with the divine can change things and so we believe prayer is a key to success. The more people who pray, the more successful we can be.
It’s Sunday afternoon and I am happy to say that we did not have to have church in some back alley this morning (which is good seeing as the temperature has dropped over 20 degrees in less than a week – but that’s a whole other story). The searching this past week did not offer… Read More Church a la Village
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?
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

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

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)
So we went off to church this afternoon leaving our house guest Rod to man the fort. While we were gone another neighbor paid us a visit. There came yet another knock on our door, this one of the angry, pounding variety. Rod calmly answered the door with his biggest smile and politely tried to… Read More BBQ… What BBQ?
So yesterday morning we were still quite grieved by our BBQ experience. We decided to do something to show the whole building that we were sorry for all the fuss. So with broom, dustpan, bucket, bleach, cleaner and two cloths in hand we cleaned the stairwell for the building. While cleaning we got to meet… Read More When BBQ’s Fail
With summer approaching, we have turned our sights to our balcony intending to make it our summer escape. We have visions of herbs and flowers growing on the balcony rail, 2 patio chairs and a small charcoal BBQ. Last week, inspired by the sunshine, we began to make this dream a reality when we bought… Read More BBQ’s = Not the way to Make Friends
