Camp #2 - Klenovec

My team is back in Presov, getting ready to leave for our third and last camp tomorrow morning....we are still tired from our last camp with Klenovec, and very much missing everyone there. It was a small camp and we absolutely loved it!

We had 14 students at this camp (and we praise God for every single one of them!), and they all knew each other so it was hard to get to them at the beginning of the camp.

It was so cool to see,though, how they opened up as the week went on. They all want to come back next year, and they also want to bring their friends. That is exciting! What is even more exciting is that for a whole week they got to hear about God, and even in just a week's time we got to see huge changes going on inside some of them.

God's truth has the power to transform, and we definitely saw that. I am praying that God continues to work in these students' heart, drawing them to Himself.

This was the first time the Klenovec church did English Camp, and I have to say that they did an excellent job. They were well prepared, and they put their whole hearts into it. It was so encouraging to see this new team step up, and totally rely on God in what they were doing. They did so well. I really thank God for this team, for their hearts, and am really excited about how God is going to continue to use them!


Ivana - the girl in the picture above is a part of the Klenovec team. She is a new believer, and she had many responsibilities at camp. Her heart was for the students, and she did everything she could to make sure things went as planned. She was flexible, willing to change things at the last minute, always busy working on things....she was an example to many! How it must have pleased God to watch this young woman express love to people around her!

It is sometimes hard for me to know what to write about camps....I don't want it to be just another camp, just another student.....I see God at work at these young people's lives, and I get so excited! It's a long process sometimes and we never know when or what needs to happen for people to believe, but at least I know that the process has now started for these 14 students because they got to hear about Jesus.

Thank you so much for praying, and will you continue to pray as we start our third camp? We have 50 students coming this week! We leave tomorrow...Sunday and Monday we will be doing pre-camp training, and then camp begins on Tuesday.

Dinner and Bowling

As a thank you for serving at camp, our church paid for a nice dinner for our Czech team. We all got to dress up, and enjoy a nice evening eating good food, tallking, and laughing.....It is an honor to serve with a team like this! Some of us ended up going bowling afterwards....and yeah, it must have been the clothes because most of us didn't do so well :) We still had a great time!

Frydlant Camp

Camp went great. Thank you for praying! What a great time connecting with students, and sharing Christ with them. It is always so amazing to me to see what God can do in one week. The transformation that sometimes happens is incredible!

God definitely was at work at our camp!


I praise Him for:
- two students who decided to accept Christ as their Saviour
- good questions students asked, and great conversations about God
- American and Czech teams working together, and doing an awesome job!

One reason this camp was also special to me was the partnership between the Frydlant church, and LCBC (Lancaster County Bible Church) - how cool to see these two connect, and to serve together! Doesn't it just blow you away how nothing - distance, culture, language, ...etc - can stand in the way when God decides to do something? I love it!



Every year we do a talent show at camp. It is always on the last night of camp, and it is a lot of fun. This year I decided to perform a song on a guitar. It was a huge success. Josh, my intern, introduced this song to me. Here is a video of him playing it. I didn't change one thing. Enjoy!



I am now back in Slovakia reconnecting with my team. We are going to Vienna tomorrow morning to pick up our American team, and heading to the camp site to start with training. Camp begins on Tuesday....this is with the Klenovec youth group. I need to come up with something for the talent show again :)
