		<description>Our prayers are with you in your ministry.  I'm sure that you will enjoy the time in Slovakia and central Europe. My wife Barb and I were able to visit twice while our daughter Stephanie served in the Teach Slovakia program of Global Mission in Mikulas. I believe we even had an opportunity to stay in your apartment when the volcano in Iceland gave us an unexpected weeks extension of our stay.  Blessings,</description>

		<description>Dear Elly, I am a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Wadena, MN.   We are one of your supporting congregations.  My parents were in a sense your "predecessors", in the 1960's when my dad served as director of the LWF work on the West Bank prior to 1967.  Thank you for being there.   Please give my regards to Bishop Younan.   Susan Thompson, now retired from the ELCA chicago.</description>

		<description>My husband, Mark, and I attended the church from 1997 to 1999 while we were living in Bratislava serving as Peace Corps volunteers. The church and the people we met during that time will always hold a special place in our hearts. Even though your work may be overwhelming at times, we hope that you will enjoy living in Slovakia as much as we did. You will certainly be in our thoughts and prayers.</description>
