Busy summer

23. 06. 2011 | Comments (0)

It is very exciting season. We have new Exit team of staff in Kompas. In May we welcomed Zuzka Potocka, Jan and Katka Havrilova. Suddenly there is not enough space in TCK Presov office any more.

Mentioning the changes I cannot omit that our colleague Draho Poloha and his family will move to Banska Bystrica soon. New missionary Josh Howard will join him to help with new TCK evangelism program FUSION (rock-pop-drama-art choirs). You can learn more about the project in our TCK 2010 annual report at http://www.tckompas.sk/annual.

English camp interns Mindy, Miriam, Hunter and Melanie joined us in May. They serve in English camp promo and preparation. Melanie will stay in Slovakia longer, till December and she will help with camps follow up ministry mainly in Dolny Kubin. This summer we miss the Shepperson’s family, they took 6 months furlough in the states.

This year conference for more than 700 youth leaders focused on the God’s word, was great opportunity for me to serve so many youth workers. During the conference TCK gathering elected new TCK board – the representatives of four main protestant denominations. Also my mandate (TCK director) was prolonged till June 2015. 

Currently the biggest wrestle is to gain the acceptance for evangelistic Exit 316 TV project at the biggest protestant denomination – Lutheran church as well as at Ecumenical board of the churches. The leadership of the Lutheran church is the door to the Slovak television for Exit 316 as well as to Ecumenical board.  So far we are not successful.  Two days after our meeting with the Lutheran church bishops, very negative article about TCKompas ministry was published at the Lutheran newspapers by their faith committee leader. Big discussion in their church was stirred. Somebody said that as well as the world after September the 11th, 2001 is different also the Lutheran church in Slovakia after June the 8th, 2011 (the day when the article was published) will be different. It is obvious that there is big motion in the spiritual realm. It is great to know that He is the door.
