New Work with youth started in Hradek nad Nisou

For several years we have cooperated on many projects with the church in Chrastava. This fall the Mayor of a nearby town, Hradek nad Nisou, asked the Chrastava church if they would start a club for youth. The town would provide the rooms if the church would provide the staff. The pastor asked if we would partner with them: they would lead the first hour, we would lead the second hour with English conversation and our team would include 4 youths from Chrastava (leadership development). We have been meeting weekly since the beginning of October.

January 25-27, 2013 we arranged for the youth from Chrastava and Hradek to spend 3 days and 2 nights together in a winter wonderland in Hejnice (a small town midway between the 2 towns). Because of Ken's talent and renown, he was our cook. We had a great time playing together, worshiping together, deepening relationships and sharing Christian values and life. Even though it was -19C (-2.2F) on Saturday morning, it did not stop us from enjoying God's beautiful creation and each other.
