I spent the last weekend with 130 young people and leaders at our denomination’s (Evengelical Free Church in Slovakia / Cirkev Bratska) annual conference.

So much fun!

The topic was gospel identity in the book of Ephesians: “Who do you think you are?”

A good handful of youth group leadership teams took off from school or work and came in Thursday, for a 24 hour pre-conference intensive.  Plant.sk, our church planting equipping team, coached different leadership teams through establishing Missional Communities among high-schoolers and college students.

Once the conference began, Tomas Henzel and I led a three part training: 1. What is the Gospel?  2. Gospel Identity  3. Speaking the gospel into our everyday lives

Pray that this next generation of Jesus followers would continue to truly place their identity in the finished work of Jesus.  Pray that these youth groups would see themselves as sent to the schools and cities that they are in.  Pray that as these young people step into adulthood they would believe that orienting their lives around the mission of God is worth it!
