15 graduate from Slovak/Czech CMLC

Today 15 students graduated from the Czech/Slovak CMLC (Children's Ministry Leadership Course) in Bratislava, Slovakia.

It was my privilege to teach them during the final week and to be present at their graduation. Some of the are already CEF workers and several of them are considering joining the mission. We praise the Lord for His faithfulness to each student during the 12 week course and pray that He will use them mightily to reach the children of central Europe.

Slovakian Annual CEF Conference

I have just returned from taking part in the annual CEF conference in Slovakia. Around 100 people of all ages were in attendance for all or part of the 4 day programme. I had a couple of seminars each day on Youth Challenge related subjects. This was particularly appropriate as it tied in with the launch of the JYC manual, 'God Says' in Slovakian.
It was a particular privilege to share the pulpit with Czeslaw Bassara who was the main Bible teacher. After the conference I accompanied Josef and Lubica to visit the CEF camp centre, the National Office, their home and a half day visit of the centre of Bratislava.
