Henrys in Slovakia

Happy New Year!

We are still doing well here in Slovakia, We did a lot of visiting with our Slovak friends here over the Christmas weekend and still had time to enjoy the tree Micah cut down and each other's company. We had a nice restful holiday but we missed being at home with our American friends and family. An interesting side note: stores in Slovakia are required by law to close on Christmas Eve by noon. NOTHING is open on the 24th in the afternoon. Or the 25th, or the 26th.... we discovered that the hard way, I think we visited every store in 3 towns on Christmas Eve :).

We hope that each of you had a blessed holiday season and will have a wonderful year ahead! It is hard to believe that we are in a new decade, 2010 here we come. One of the resolutions Micah and I made was to be more intentional about Prayer. We would like to lift you up when we pray. Please send us an e-mail and let us know any specific requests you and your family have.

We have a few events coming up here at the Ranch. The 15 -17th of January will be a seminar for Bass Guitarists in Christian bands and on worship teams. the seminar will cover practical things and biblical basis for worship and service. This is part of a series of Seminars that Youth for Christ Slovakia is holding. We have already held seminars for drummers and worship leaders and seminars are being planned for singers, pianists and guitarists as well. 

On the 22nd-24th of January there will be a conference for Friends of Israel here at the Ranch. There will be times of preaching and prayer.  

There is a meeting scheduled later this month for all YFC Staff here in Slovakia. This will be a time of sharing what each ministry center has been doing in the past year and plans for 2010. Because there are YFC ministry teams working in 5 locations as well as ministries happening in cooperation with churches and other christian organizations around Slovakia, this is a time when we can all get together and really feel unified and seek God's direction for YFC Slovakia. 

We also wanted to thank those of you who prayed for Simon and Angie's baby. They were back in Switzerland for Christmas and had another Sonogram. The cyst in the baby's brain is no longer there! Praise the Lord.

Thank you for your prayers and support,
Micah & Stasi
