Merry Christmas from the Pattersons 2021! (video)

2021-12-22 by Todd 1 Comment

2020 family

This was another tough year but in our family we can testify that “for those who love God all things work together for good” (Rom 8:28) and we hope it is the same in your family. This Christmas season we hope you can celebrate the coming of the king and anticipate his second coming. And may these two great events profoundly shape your present.

We hope you enjoy our family Christmas video again this year. Every year I say this is the last year and with Elisabeth now off to college next year’s is certainly going to be different. We’re glad she’s home now and we had the chance to go through all twelve video greetings.

Blessings to you and your family in 2022!

Jana’s First Grade Teaching Adventure!

2020-06-09 by Todd 2 Comments

For a couple of years now, Jana’s teaching responsibilities have been expanding. She started at Narnia Elementary School with after school English musicals (remember, English is a foreign language for these kids). Then they needed to fill in a gap and asked her to teach first graders English and then also Music (her Music Together training has come in handy for both of those classes). This year, Jana began teaching her first graders evangelical religion for the first time.

Glad to be a Part of the EFCA and ReachGlobal

2019-08-16 by Todd Leave a Comment

2018-pattersons

We’re happy to be a part of ReachGlobal, the global mission of the Evangelical Free Church of America.

We think its mission is right on target.

We exist to glorify God by multiplying transformational churches among all people.

And we think it’s great to be among those taking God’s message of salvation to the ends of the earth.

And we think you should too.

Januflecting on 2017–18: Transitioning Back to Ministry in Slovakia

2018-01-02 by Todd 1 Comment

Janus was the Roman god of transitions. With his two faces he stood in the gate of time and looked with one face toward the past and one toward the future. He gave his name (according to some) to the month of January since this is the time of year we like to januflect—evaluate our past and make adjustments for the future. If you are praying for us, this is a good post to read to understand how best to pray for our ministry and family.
