Updated-Upcoming Events

APRIL 21-26 - Kristin LaBarre is coming to visit! (She's a friend from the states who is studying in France now.)

We had such a good time! And apparently, she couldn't get enough of Pisek, because she's coming back in June for the rest of the summer...details to come.


APRIL 28-30 - Sto Procent (100%) - A huge youth retreat, that everyone here is going to. They have them every two years, so it's pretty big.

I actually didn't go to this (Sto Procent). I needed the time to tie up some loose ends with these videos we're finishing.


MAY 1-2 - JV Singles Retreat - Twice a year (typically before the spring and fall retreats) the people who are around the same age, get together to just have fun and build relationships with each other.


MAY 3-6 - JV Spring Conference - This is for all second culture missionaries (with JV) and their kids. There are so many of us that we're going to fill up three hotels!


MAY 7-16 - Steve Siwula is coming to visit. (Nothing like a visit from my brother.) He thinks he's coming to relax, but little does he know...I'm putting him to work. Hehehe. Okay, he volunteered to help me with any videos I might be working on. I'll make sure not to keep him working the whole time as I'm sure he'll want to see the country...and maybe a couple others.

Denomination Leaders' Meeting

This next week, we are sharing about Exit 316 at a Denomination Leaders' Meeting. Please pray that they are receptive to hear what Petr has to say. And pray that they get excited about their churches being a part of Exit. The conference is April 11th in Malenovice.

A Good Name

These last couple of weeks have been really busy. I've been home for four days and I'm leaving again tomorrow. We currently have two major videos we're working on, plus five commercials. I tell you, the name Turbo is really fitting, because that's the speed we're going at now.

The two main videos we're working on are to help get the local churches and youth leaders excited about Exit. If they're excited, then they will get on board with us and their church (or youth group) will use Exit as a tool to share their faith. We're strategically attempting to reach the country through getting every church and youth ministry involved.

Please pray for the video production. Pray for the technical problems we might face. Also, for the strength and endurance to keep going when we feel we've had enough.

And pray for the church leaders and youth leaders. Pray that they will be open to this new idea and they will see the opportunity that this could have.
