The years in Slovakia have been wild and during this time, Jesus has blessed me with an amazing wife, two wonderful kids, and more friends than I can count. I have experienced God’s presence and blessing in my life as well as loneliness, doubt, and failures. I have struggled and stumbled through preaching, youth work, counselling, marriage, fathering, studying, pastoral care, discipleship, and accidentally planting a church. There are plenty of stories to share (and maybe someday I’ll write them down) but for now, they include: digging a grave, killing pigs, and having the car you borrowed, seized by the Austrian government.
Suffice it to say that all these experiences have formed and forged us into who we are and what our hearts get excited about. We want everyone in our town to hear and trust in the good news of Jesus – to find a place at the table with Jesus’ community and to learn how to follow Jesus in His upside-down Kingdom.
