In October, Soma put on a training event in the Czech Republic with many of our key European partners. There were 100+ leaders from over 15 countries in Eastern Europe.

Twenty of these leaders were from Slovakia representing four different young church plants.

Many of these leaders are young in their faith and fairly alone in their cities, but are committed to being a part of God’s story in their region as they equip and lead everyday Christians to be a part of God’s mission.

Because we were having a baby that weekend, we were not able to attend, but my dear friend Brad Watson from Bread and Wine in Portland did, and wrote this encouraging post about it:

“What I learned in Europe.”
