- Eva and Martin Horton with Wycliffe Bible Translators. They are based in the UK.
- Jarka Pankuchova and Zuzka Magdoskova, both with Child Evangelism Fellowship (Slovakia).
- Pray for those among us in need of a new job, new position, or making important decisions regarding their future, and for those struggling with the fallout from Covid-19.
- Please continue to pray for Vierka Millerova as she recovers from cancer surgery and goes through chemotherapy, which started 25th March.
- Pray for the world and Slovakia during this pandemic and particularly for the Slovak coalition government to find solutions for their disagreements.
Future events
- Thank you to all who took part in the Church meeting on 21st March where it was officially decided to issue a call to Nick and Amanda Gagnon to come and pastor our church – which they have officially accepted. Whilst it is always sad to see people leave, and Gerhard and Joan have certainly made an impact on the church, we should be excited as this new chapter opens.
- Gerhard and Joan’s last Sunday will be 27th June and hopefully we will be up and running at Sulovska by then, so please put this date in your diary and we will have a special pot-luck lunch and give them the send-off they deserve!!
- If you are in contact with former members who were here during Gerhard and Joan’s time let them know and invite them to come and join us for the day.
