We have many things to be thankful for this year. With a war breaking out next door in Ukraine we’re thankful that there is peace here in Slovakia and we’re thankful for the opportunity to play at least a small part in helping build God’s kingdom.
Most of all, we’re thankful for the Prince of Peace who came to solve the real problem, the root problem of all problems—the problem of sin and death. This year we wish you the eyes to see and the heart to understand and receive the sign that God sent us when God became a baby wrapped in swaddlng cloths.
We also hope you’ll enjoy our annual Christmas video with some photos from our year 2022 and wishes from us to you for 2023.

And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:9–12
And here’s our Christmas greeting. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2023!
