Progress Report – 2023 – Summer
Martin | Slovakia | Summer | 2023
PROGRESS REPORT
Dear Friends and Partners,
We all know that God’s love has no limits or borders. It is stellar indeed in its quality and scope. Such was not only our VBS theme but also our experience this summer. It was highlighted by the celebration of 25th anniversary of the Bible School and 20th anniversary of the Lutheran Academy of Martin Slovakia (LAMS) on June 28. The celebration started with a worship service in the Martin Ice Hockey Arena. Over 1200 students, parents, and guests participated thanking God for His stellar care. During the worship we experienced God’s presence through the Word, sermon, music, drama skit, and prayers. It was spectacular as one of the parents said and everyone was happy to be there. If you missed it, here is the link. After a refreshment break a 45-minute documentary film capturing the spirit of the Bible school and LAMS was presented. Immerse yourself in it so you can be inspired by God’s providence in the story of the Bible school and LAMS! Continue reading
Progress Report – 2023 – May

PROGRESS REPORT
Dear Friends and Partners,
In May we celebrated our sixth high school graduation in the 25 years of existence of the Center for Christian Education (CCE). It was a great occasion to rejoice with students and their families, thanking God for all his care and providence. The graduation worship service and the ceremony took place on Pentecost Monday, when Christians celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Christian church. The power of the Spirit enabled the Christian community to overcome all the struggles throughout the history. May the same be true about our graduates and us as well in the years to come!
Progress Report – 2023 – April

Dear Friends and Partners,
The Lord is risen, He is risen indeed! The month of April was filled with this exclamation when we were celebrating Jesus’ resurrection with all the Christians around the world. In this decisive moment in history, God demonstrated His power overcoming death when raising Jesus as the first fruit of those who have died (1Cor 15:20). Therefore, we have hope that nothing, not even our death can separate us from the love of God we have in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom 8:39). Continue reading

Progress Report – 2023 – March
Martin | Slovakia | March | 2023
PROGRESS REPORT
Dear Friends and Partners,
March was the month of Lent. It is a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord’s resurrection. As Slovak Lutherans, we do not have a strong tradition of practicing self- control through fasting. We tend to overdo self-edifying spiritual activities such as prayers and reading the Scriptures with the outcome of neglecting practical help for the needy. To be frank, it is easier to pray and read the Bible in a comfy chair than to go out and deal with the world. However, God will hardly answer cover-up prayers! As the prophet Isaiah says, our prayers must be accompanied by us sharing our bread with the hungry and helping those in need (Isa 58,6-9). Such is the proper fasting and preparation for Easter!
