Amazing day....
This is funny last week I was complaining to God, that I feel on campus like in different country, because it looks like everybody is catholic there, and I dont understand them, mostly where they are coming from. I really was very discouraged, that I dont connect with students well, and cant really understand them. I totally believed that there is nobody who is not catholic at campus in Presov. And so complaining was growing and frustration too. But today I saw that God hears me even when I am not very nice to Him. He knows what I need, and knows how much I can go thru, even when I feel like it is to much and cant go any farther, He knows, He knows, He knows. I wish I can remember that every second of my life. I wish I dont complain so much and I wish I can trust Him more. Today I went to a meeting with Biba and Peta. We met a girl named Jozka, we did survey with her on the beginning of the semester, but she was not very spiritually interested and we just had very shallow conversation with her. But Peta contacted her and Jozka said that she wants to meet with us. I was like ok I will go meet with her, but in my head I go what am I going to talk to her about, i dont want to waist my time on campus just to talk about weather or something similar- such a selfish attitude. Gabika told me before meeting, well just think about why are you meeting with Jozka. Well I want to tell her about Jesus, just dont know how to start. So we went and I had that motivation in my head. On the beginning Jozka said, I dont have much time because I am going to work out to gym. In my head I go , well maybe no sharing Gospel today, but somehow I knew that she needs to hear about Jesus. Ten minutes latter her friend called her and canceled on her about going to work out. So Jozka didnt go work out, and could stay longer with us. For long time we just talked about different stuff. And it was hard to switch the conversation and talk about Jesus. I started thinking well if this conversation is going to be like this for few more minutes I am just gonna tell her " Jozka we wanted to meet with you to tell you about Jesus", I was not sure how she would react on this, but I was ready to do it. Probably it was not the best idea, and God did helped us to switch the conversation to spiritual stuff. In conversation I asked her if she is a believer. She said loud and sure " No, I am atheist". I was so happy she said that, I know it sounds funny, but for me it was answer to my prayers to meet someone that is sure about their believes. I mean , I think that catholics many times tell me " yes I believe in God, I go to church every sunday", but they have no idea about God, they just think they do. It is so much worse to say that than just say no I dont believe. I dont know if you get it, but I can not explain it better right now. Anyway when Jozka said she is atheist, I knew that I need to tell her my testimony, because I was atheist before and knew nothing about God. But there was a problem I was afraid to start sharing. i know funny. I knew the whole time that God wants me to tell her my testimony, but I was so scared. Funny thing is that Peta and Biba felt the same way and they knew that I need to tell Jozka my testimony. So we all knew somehow, but I was still wondering why Peta or Biba dont tell her their testimonies. I know funny. Finally God kicked my butt and I told her my story. She was listening very carefully, and her face was different. I can tell that she was in shock. I think that my face looked like her when I first time heard of Jesus. She didnt say anything the whole time, but just nod her head. I told her on the end that everybody has to decide if they want to accept Jesus or not. And I finished, and she said "Ok lets go". That was not something I wanted to hear from her. I thought she would say something, but maybe this was her reaction. Once I heard that every man has some reaction on Gospel, so I take it as her reaction was this. I think that she was in shock and probably never heard something like that before. I wish that she will think about it more, but I dont know what she will do. Maybe I will never see her again, but maybe she will make decision for Jesus. I dont know, but God knows, He knows. I believe that nothing is coincidence, and I believe that God was behind this meeting with Jozka. I needed encouragement and Jozka needed to hear about Jesus, because everybody needs to hear about Jesus. I pray that she will know God personally one day. Kind of long but I wanted to write it here....

Catholic Zuzka...
It was very sad for me to see how this girl is living in so many lies. Zuzka is a girl I met on monday in Presov doing Soularium-survey. She had a lot of time so we talked a lot during survey, and she was pretty open to talk about spiritual stuff, so it was good. But more and more we talked more and more I have seen that she is believing in so many lies. I really wished that I could understand what is she talking about. She is traditional catholic, and so maybe you can see what am I coming from. We talked about 2 hours and I really felt like I am in some different culture or something like that. I realized that this religion in Slovakia is so far away from me and from what I know about God. It was very hard to talk to her, because her eyes and heart were closed and she didnt hear anything that I was trying to tell her about God. I shared gospel with her, but I clearly saw that she is not getting it at all, just not getting it. Those lies she grew up in are so strong in her life that it is very hard for me to believe that she can ever know God personally. She said a lot of things, but there is one that I can still not understand. Maybe you can help me to understand it. She said that she believes in God, but she does not believe that God created her and this world. So in my head I was thinking well then what god do you believe in??? I mean who is your god??? She believes that we are from monkeys, so I told her " I dont think that I am from monkey, because I am human, and monkey is animal, animals dont have spirit and are not created on Gods image and cant have relationship with God" so I said I am definitely not a monkey, because I have relationship with God!!! And I can not climb the trees haha :)). Just kidding. So yes I told her gospel, but didnt work for her there, but I hope and pray that one day it will work for her and God will save her. Please pray for her too...

searching week...

But for real!!! this week was for me a searching week. Searching is one of my biggest weaknesses. I really really dont like searching. This searching I had to do because it was searching for some good place for our women's weekend. It is going to happened on 24 and 25th of October, saturday and sunday. So that is why I was searching and searching. I really love women's times and I love doing stuff for women, so the whole week I had this motivation to help me keep searching. First I thought, that it will not be any problem to find a cute place for us for one night, but it is a problem. I started calling to different accommodation places and everyone told me that they dont take people just for one night. So my frustration was growing and growing as week was going. Thank God I was not by my self in that frustration, because Peta was in it with me, and was helping me to find something. I was waking up and going to sleep with searching. I was seriously asking God why is it such a problem to find something, and I started thinking that we should probably not have women's weekend. But it didn't make any sense to me that God would not want such a good thing to happened. So here we go friday came and I am very very tired. AND yes I still think searching is tiring and it is still not my favorite thing to do, but I am very happy that Gods answer to my question is yes. Yes He wants us to have women's weekend. So this week I have learned that I have to do everything I can and leave results to God. Good lesson for this week. So we have accommodation in beautiful place in Tatry mountains, jeeej for that. Please bee praying for that weekend and for good number of girls to come. Thank you. On the picture you can see where we are going.

how the team works...
Very stressful week for me, but also very blessed one for my team. In my biggest nightmare I would never expect that my week would look like the one I just had. So I have learned that I should not have expectation for every day to look like how I want it, but be ready for anything. Till wednesday it looked like normal week, but then 7.30 am on wednesday everything changed. As usual I woke up and wanted to get ready to take my doggie out. But I looked at him and he was laying on the ground and could not move at all. So I took him to vet and they could not figure out what it is. So they did what they could for him, and we went home. Next day he was still not moving, so we went back to vet. And they did more stuff with him and told us, that he probably needs special check up in Brno in Czech republic and that if dog has such problems that they dont give them big chances to survive. So I was crying for long time, because I cant imagine to put him to sleep because of that. He is only 5 years old, and so it is hard to accept that he might die.SO today in the morning we went again, and my doggie is doing better, he is moving more, and can stand up. So we decided with vet that we are going to wait till monday, if he gets better, or not. So please pray that he will!!! But in the same time I was going thru this, my whole team was in Presov doing ministry. I was supposed to have some meetings with girls, but could not go there. So I was very encouraged when I talked to my team on the phone that wednesday and they were telling me very encouraging things that were happening on campus that day. One girl named Mirka-very beautiful name :)) met with Biba and Peta, and they shared gospel with her and she said that she wants to accept Christ into her life by her self, so next monday they are going to meet with her and see if she did it. Jeeej for that. So after hearing that story I was so happy even my doggie is not doing good, I was happy that God is doing big things thru my team in Presov. So I am happy I can be in team, and see how God works....
