Ministering together in Bratislava, Slovakia

Personal note from Lubica

“I grew up in Slovakia under the Communist regime. In my 20s, I had a desire to study theology and go into full-time ministry. But my father, who was a pastor, persuaded me that under Communism, I could be a better witness for Christ in a secular occupation. As the years went by, his advice proved to be true.

In 1990, just one year after Communism fell, I moved to the U.S.  Providentially, I earned an M.A. in Christian education and had the privilege to minister to Slovaks living in the States.

In Slovakia today, the Communist regime is part of history and young people are more open to spiritual life. But while living in America, I never stopped thinking about my generation of Slovaks. I took it as my personal call and privilege when a young Slovak pastor called me in 2019 with a vision of planting a church in the Slovak capital, Bratislava. He asked if I would come back to Slovakia to participate in the work of reaching older generations there. In this invitation, I audibly heard the quiet cry of my heart and replied I would be honored to serve in my home country of Slovakia.

I give thanks to the Lord for this call. Primarily serving the older population of Slovakia, I would like to ask for your prayers because Communist ideas and practices left a profound influence on this generation.

Thank you for partnering with me in ministering to the Slovakian people. You can read this statement about my mission also at MTW. This link also serves for financial support for my ministry in Slovakia.”
