Turbulencia 2011
Last month we held our annual regional youth conference called Turbulencia. It is a conference that Mark helps to organise and is always a blessing to our local churches. This year the theme was, 'The Holy Spirit, your partner for the journey.' Mark hosted a two hour seminar in the afternoon where he interviewed a number of the local youth leaders about what is going on in the region. It was a big challenge for Mark as he led the seminar without a translator but thankfully it went well. It was particularly amusing to watch Mark interview Christina Clapham, a Canadian, in Slovak front of hundreds of young people.
The conference encouraged young people to rely more on the leading of the Holy Spirit as they live out their lives. As well as several good speakers the conference included worship lead by the Bratislava City Church and a Slovak speaking band from Serbia. Many young people were challenged and encouraged throughout the weekend.
