Preparation and Positioning

We are happy to report that God seems to be preparing and positioning Slovakia for a spiritual awakening! Just as preparation and positioning are so important in photography, history proves that these things are essential for any great movement of God. We are pleased to report that one of the mission leaders in Slovakia has asked us to be a part of a church planting team in Bratislava! Join with us in thanking God for this wonderful opportunity as well as for the International Baptist Church’s desire to sponsor this work. Ask for God’s wisdom as we seek to further build this team and lay a strong foundation in preparation for this church plant that is girded in prayer. Also, our church, Palisady Baptist, has been without a pastor for over a year and we have just received news that our church overwhelmingly voted to call Danny Jones to be our pastor! He was a former missionary in Slovakia for 14 years and member of our church for 4.5 of those 14 years. We are thrilled beyond words and ask that you pray for Danny and his wife Clara as they make preparations to return to Slovakia. Pray that our church would be positioned and prepared to become the Bride of Christ and be willing to be led by Danny as our pastor.

 

Travel in November

There will be plenty of business trips for Trey and Elise in the next month and we would ask youto pray for us as we are on the road and in the air! Unfortunately, not all travel will be together. Ask for God’s wisdom and discernment as we meet with colleagues and leaders within IMB in Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Virginia.

What’s New…

Lots is new for Bret and Dana! They are now living in Austin, TX and are both teaching English at Austin High School! Bret is also coaching his own 9th grade team. They both have six classes each, which keeps them hopping! They have settled in well and seem to be enjoying most aspects of this new chapter in their lives. Please pray for them as they continue to make this adjustment.

New Church in Bratislava

Trey and Elise are pleased to report that one of the mission leaders in Slovakia has asked them to be a part of a church planting team in Bratislava! Join them in thanking God for this wonderful opportunity and ask that local Baptist pastors would be supportive of their efforts. Pray for God’s wisdom as we seek to further build this team and lay a strong foundation in preparation for this church plant that is girded in prayer.
