Ministry Focus
Our ministry has a two-fold focus: providing a place of rest where missionaries can meet with God, and building intentional relationships within our community.

Preparing to Host
We are renovating a building on our property to serve as a guest space for missionaries. We hope to bring one or two teams or individuals to help with the rebuilding, with the goal of opening it by the end of the summer. 

Building Intentional Relationships
Building relationships is woven into every part of our daily lives. This happens naturally through our children’s school, relationships with neighbors, students, church life, and friendships that began before our years in Thailand.

We are intentionally investing in relationships with our neighbors, including Tomáš and Veronika, praying that they would grow spiritually and eventually join our church. In February, we plan to start a small group, inviting neighbors and others into a space for connection and spiritual growth. Hospitality plays a key role in this, as we regularly invite people into our home for meals and fellowship.

Teaching and Discipleship
Teaching and discipleship continue to be important parts of our ministry. Jeremy is co-leading the church youth group and recently spent two Sundays teaching students how to share their testimonies. Discipleship also happens through regular one-on-one meetings, including ongoing time with Stano. I have also joined a men’s group at church that meets weekly on Fridays, with a strong desire to see these men grow and develop honest, open relationships with one another.

Dara has a heart for investing in women. Last month, she hosted a prayer gathering for Christian women in our home, centered on reflecting on God’s goodness.

Continued Language Learning
Alongside all of this, I continue to invest in language learning, believing it is essential for deeper relationships and long-term ministry effectiveness.

Slovakia and Kris Swiatocho

Picts from 2004 and my time in Slovakia.
In 2004 I took my first overseas mission trip. I visited Kosice, Slovakia and Poland. While in Slovakia, I stayed with my great friend and fellow missionary Stacy Sample, on staff with Cru. Stacy was working in Kosice on the local college campus. She introduced to me to a new believer, single adult Dara Strakova. I fell in love with the ministry in Slovakia and started to support Stacy Sample. I would eventually also start support Dara as she too would join staff. She eventually met Jeremy, another Cru staff and they would get married and have 5 kids. God has moved them around the world, blessing their ministry. I would continue my work in Slovakia and have return several times, working with Jarka Simka, a now former Cru staff member. To think, the work all started with one single, ministering to another for Jesus and look where God has brought us.
