"There was a total of 122 registered for this conference (107 adults & 15 children).
Slovakia: Total = 62 (51 adults & 11 children) Of the 62, 18 were new ones. Czech Republic: Total = 25 (21 adults & 4 children) The rest of the saints were from Germany (4), Holland (1), Hungary (1), Malaysia (1), Poland (8), Romania (7), UK (5), Ukraine (3), and the USA (5). In this conference we had 5 meetings in which 3 brothers shared the messages from the last Thanksgiving conference on the Testimony of Jesus. In addition to the 5 main meetings, we also had a group fellowship time in which we broke into 5 groups (2 English speaking groups and 3 Czech/Slovak speaking groups) in which we enjoyed mutual sharing as we read through some ministry excerpts. The Lord as the 7-fold intensified Spirit spoke in all the meetings to enlighten and supply all the saints and new ones. -- One new brother who is in his 40's had ordered ministry books in the past and saw the conference announcement on the Prud (Slovak LSM) website. He came for the first 3 meetings and the group fellowship time and also brought his father. During an informal fellowship time, he had some doctrinal questions, but eventually, he was led to call on the Lord. As he began to call, his countenance changed. He commented to a brother that he had been searching through many Christian groups for years, but had not found a group which was just purely for the truth in the Bible. On Wednesday he met with a brother in the park for fellowship. Again, he practiced calling on the Lord with the brother and afterwards he told the brother that next time, they need to go up to one of the mountains in Bratislava so that they can call out in a stronger way. -- One middle-aged sister who is a single mother with 3 teenage children came to the conference last year and also came again for this conference. She has become dissatisfied with her current denomination because it has become increasingly worldly. She called one of our sisters Thursday saying that she would like to come to our meeting Lord's day. -- One young Slovak sister was the student of one of the sisters now in fellowship with us here in Slovakia. She is from a small village in the north of Slovakia, but is now working and going to school in London. We passed her contact information to the saints in London and she has been shepherded by them, was baptized and is now meeting regularly in one of the districts of the church in London. She came back to Slovakia for this conference and brought her mother to the meetings. Her family is strongly traditional Catholic. Her mother must have been touched by the Lord during the conference because she expressed the desire to be baptized. Please pray that she will be strengthened by the Lord to follow through with her desire to be baptized and to be fully rescued out of the present evil age to be in the church life, today's ark. -- One young brother from a town in the east of Slovakia is a reader of the ministry and has been in contact with us just recently. He came to the conference leaving his wife and young child at home and he seemed to enjoy the conference and the fellowship during the conference. He was a member of a Brethren assembly, but was persecuted and later ostracized because he would not give up reading the ministry books. He is now meeting informally with some other believers in his town. Please pray for our continuing contact with this family so that they can be shepherded into the church life. -- Another brother came to the conference from a small town, L., on the east side of Slovakia. He also enjoyed the conference and is open to further contact. -- Sister M. from Prague who is at a critical crossroad in her Christian life commented that she felt as if she were "in heaven" during the conference. Her husband came with her to the conference and was impressed in a very positive way. He even took notes during the messages, and made encouraging comments like "Dear, you should read this point of the outline; it is very good." According to her, her husband´s face was really shining for a few days. She is not even sure if he is regenerated. The brothers in Prague suggested to that they would like to contact her husband and she was very happy that the brothers would care for her husband. She said she is before the Lord concerning what to do. In February the Lord led her to contact us again after experiencing some hardships in her group. After she contacted the recovery again, her testimony is "this is the place, where I was received with cherishing, but most of all this is the place, where the real food is being supplied." She said it would be very difficult for her to leave the group where she has been actively involved for more than 15 years, but she feels the Lord is probably leading her to a new stage in her Christian life. We encouraged her to simply trust in the Lord, to be open to Him, and to keep eating the Lord. Her spiritual companion, sister A., has been coming with her to the meetings in Prague and was also encouraged very much by the conference. She expressed her gratitude to the Lord that He has brought her to a place where the Bible and spiritual things are finally opened to her in a way she can understand and experience. -- Another sister came who was saved and baptized by us a couple years ago and lives in a small village about 50 km outside of Prague. This was her first conference and she enjoyed it very much. She said it encouraged her to overcome her fear of driving the car to Prague so that her family may come more often to join the meetings in Prague. Please pray that M's husband can experience a dynamic salvation and be shepherded by the brothers in Prague. Also pray that all these saints in the Prague area can be fully captured by the Lord for His testimony in Prague. During the conference, the first volume of the Life-study of Genesis, messages 1-17, in Czech and Slovak was announced and made available for purchase. Please continue to pray that the riches in "Joseph's storehouse" can be distributed to all the Lord's people in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The brothers in Slovakia and the Czech Republic."
