“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together... but let us encourage one another.” Hebrews 10:24-25aAhojte! It's been quite a long time since our last ministry/family/life update - so we figured it's high time to send this out. What can we say other then God alone is good, His timing is perfect, and His provision is amazing. So, let's start to bring you up to speed:
Last time we wrote we were living in Nitra, attending Mozaika church, serving in Potichu Nahlas & Skupinka, and doing a lot of commuting to Bratislava for work. All I can say is that our time in Nitra was a mixed bag of blessing, hardship, transition, healing, learning, and stretching. Our years of living, loving, and serving in Nitra have been life changing (and hopefully not just for us!). What can we say other than we love Nitra, the church there and friends of course! 
Finally we have moved back to Bratislava. We thought it would happen about a year ago, but God's timing is perfect! It has been so amazing to see how God has opened the doors and provided for us in ways we can not imagine. Our two months here in Bratislava have been simply one prayer after another unfolding and revealing a new & beautiful work of the Spirit. Life here is nothing other than fast. We hit the ground running. But it's running after God- trying to keep up with what He is doing. The first weekend we got to Bratislava we began to host a Bible study in our home and it's been very interesting to see who the Spirit has been bringing to our home - old / new friends, students, co-workers, and seekers. We are confident that God has brought each one of them to us at the right time in their lives (and ours) for a specific reason. We have now hit the 2 month mark of the Sunday evening fellowship here in Bratislava. What can I say other then it’s a blessing to be a part of it and see God move in His way & His time. 
Please keep us in your prayers - that the Holy Spirit would work among us, that the presence of Jesus would be felt, and that the Father would be glorified. If these things are happening then for sure the Lord will add daily those who are to be saved. Also, pray for us as a family - growth in our marriage, wisdom in our parenting, God's hand to be upon our children as they bloom. Also, we will be back home in California over the Christmas break (Dec 12-Jan 8) to meet with family, friends, and supporters. If you are in the area we would love to meet with you. Contact us via email: ccnitra@yahoo.com or at my parents' home (951.845.3286).
Thank you all for your continued support, prayers, and encouragement. May God bless you as you walk deeper and deeper into the good things He has prepared for you.
In Jesus,
Patrick, Ivetka, Gabriel, & David
