Just a quick update on Nitra for all you Nitra-lovers. Well there has been a bit of a population explosion in Drazovce. And no, I’m not talking about the Sony plant expansion. Last month (15.10) Silvia and Rado (and of course Hanka too!) celebrated the birth of their new twins - Andre & Margarita! In classic Radovanka style they announced the “break-through” in verse -
“expectations truly long alive came,
thundering in our being's been made.
Andrej with Margareta, jewelry fragiles,
blooming thankfully into our smiles “
We were able to visit them about two weeks ago - good healthy looking kids... and surprisingly parents as well. I know God gives us only what we can bear...hence why He didn’t send twins to us...obviously Rado & Silvia are better cut out for this whole parenting thing then us. Anyways, two regular peas in a pod.Additionally, there are some other babies on the way - Rado & Vierka are expecting a little girl in a matter of weeks. Please keep them in prayer for good health for Vierka & baby.
As many of you know we were attending a new church plant, Mozaika, in Nitra. What can I say other than it’s a great church and God’s hand is for sure upon Pastor Miro and his wife Marta, and the team. It was so good to be apart of that fellowship for us personally. And I’m so glad to see God using Mozaika to bring to fulfillment many of the visions and desires that He put on our heart. In the beginning of September Mozaika had it’s first official Sunday morning service (usually it was on Sunday evenings). The next week they were kicked out of the facility they were renting - a classic church planting tale in Nitra. Yet, God is winning, the church is growing, and I believe many in Nitra will come to know Jesus through this ministry. Please keep Mozaika church, Pastor Miro, Marta and the ministry team in your prayers as they lovingly and with power further the Good News in Nitra.
Lastly, Potichu Nahlas has started up again this academic year. For those of you who don’t remember - PN is a student outreach ministry that was established last year. We were asked to help out with it this year again, but turned down the offer. It was clear to me that our time of leading ministry in Nitra had come to an end (at least for now...who knows what God will do?!) Actually, the team doesn’t need us and that has been proven by the fruit of the last few meetings. Actually, this years PN is way better then last years from what I hear. Please keep Betka, Christina, Matt, Amber and the rest of the PN team in your prayers as they seek to impact the student community for Christ in Nitra.Ok.... sighing out with love for Nitra!
