My year in Slovakia

YAGM is a program from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that gives young adults the opportunity to be in global mission. There are about 45 active missionaries from YAGM spread out all over the world - sharing experiences that foster the development of leadership, present cross-culture skill building, and ultimately bring forth young adults that are "globally formed and globally informed". I am very excited to be joining this program for a one year experience in Slovakia. I anticipate being of service but also growing in my faith and personal identity.

A glimpse of "International House of Prayer"

I have talked a lot about IHOP recently and I thought you'd like to see some of the crew.

We have finished our study of The Lord's Prayer and this week we are beginning a new story-telling bible study using materials from "echo the story". Simon and Angi have experience with this curriculum and Simon led an interesting story and discussion about creation tonight. Hopefully, as we progress through this curriculum, we'll grow as a community, in our faith-sharing, and also build our English skills.

I'm looking forward to the coming weeks and our times together!

Here, Simon is showing us where to register and find our materials at www.echothestory.com and Lubo is a master in the kitchen (after Bible Study we had delightful pudding...what a treat)!
