Sjezd mladeze/National Youth Conf/May 8-11

Lucka R. introducing Kaakushe's testimony--she did great, even in front of 1000+ peers.


Our Elim youth group section--several students made significant steps that weekend.

Sjezd ROCKED. The Lord did a ton of beautiful things at this conference, and in thanks I'll name a few:

*Students confessed and repented of sin. One thing that I've been feeling lately is this desire for public repentance--strange maybe, but true. During the last night we all got a candle to light and paper to write our sins on, and silently walked up a to where there was a cross and a fire. The long line of little lights snaking up the hill to "Gethsemane" filled me with joy that many--if not all--were experiencing freedom in areas of their lives.

*Godly young men. From Tomas and his band leading worship and prayer to Freddy and David and their so right on morning devotionals, I got to see young men really step up in leadership and godly influence--YAAAAAAY!!!!!!! It's so encouraging to know them over the long haul--it gives me hope for our sometimes crazy boys :)

*Discipleship in action. Kaakushe (above) is taking care of a wild bunch of younger girls. David and Tomas are speaking into the lives of the boys in our group. Many more examples exist of spiritual parenthood, too. Keep on, my brothers and sisters!

Thank the Lord that he's so in control, and that his kingdom is coming in the Czech Republic.
