Subject: thank you from Slovakia

Dear Jeannie and David, Thank you for wonderful days we could spend with you in Brisbane. Your lovely hospitality was much more beyond our expectation! These were one of the greater days of our all this trip in Australia. For all pastors it was a memorable, life changing trip! Thank you and all lovely people who took care about us. We could not dream better about this trip before. We had save journey back to our homes. Our flights went in time and there were no other complications. As I said during our stay – you are invited to come to Slovakia and we do our best to take care of you here. We are seriously thinking about having you here to minister too. We must pray for the best time to do so. If you would plan to come to the Europe sometime please let me know may be we could combine more things together. I am ready to be helpful with your article about Slovakia and its communist history. Blessings, Marek ———————–

Dear Jeanni, Greetings from Bratislava (I need to say sunny and warm, so you envy us a little bit J). After coming back from Australia and kind of climbing on the top of the ministry waiting for me I finally have the time to come back and “digest” our visit of Australia. It has been a real blessing and also special time of refreshment and God´s inspiration into my life. I really wanted to thank you very much for our time in Brisbane. Nothing compares to the food in Brisbane and the specialities in your house. I have been deeply touched with the ministry of your church. I MEAN it. The volunteers, the vision and the leadership. The way you reach out to all of those nationalities. Praise the Lord for you and for your ministry. I keep you in my prayers. I really pray that God would continue to enlarge the sphere of you influence. May HE continues to bless you and if there is any way we can assist with, please let us know. May God bless you abundantly ! Yours, Pavol
