Through the next three days we went around the majority of Slovenia doing team challenges, and beating not only jet lag but also racing the other countries teams. A few highlights were jumping into the river in Lubjliana, Slovenia, eating a GIANT horse burger [exactly as it sounds, although not so bad!], and writing in Slovenian Cyrillic in old style calligraphy. Our team had a lot of laughs and really came together in communication learning one another's strengths and weaknesses. I enjoyed every minute of being on the constant move and backpacking across a beautiful country to our next destinations.
The last check-in point for the race was also where all the interns once again met together and loaded a bus to the training facility in Czech Republic. Arriving on Friday night our countries united again to debrief and talk about the next few days ahead. During training there were sessions in multiple areas for example, how to rest well in the busy times of camp, possible spiritual warfare that will happen, how to prepare English lessons, better ways to communicate through translators, and great ways to stay in reading the Bible each day. This training is preparing us to represent JosiahVenture in each camp to be a leader by having knowledge on as many aspects of camp as possible. This training was well planned, organized, and clearly presented all through much prayer of many people in the ministry here.
I continue to be spoken to by God in the examples of diligence and hard work shown by the many long term devoted missionaries here in Eastern Europe. Be in prayer as my country team and I go into schools to promote camp though games, and teaching English over the next two weeks.
