We just got back from a 10 day trip to Jelsava, Slovakia where we assisted a large IWC Team (International World Changers). We had an awesome time even thought most of the days were very hot. Jelsava has a fairly large group of Roma people living there and we ministered to them for several days. There were around 55 students, several chaperones, and Christian Roma friends who worked together for the cause of Christ. I too a lot of photos, so I will break them up into 3 albums to make the pages load a bit quicker. In subsequent posts, I will comment more on our ministry activities during the week.
