From May 5-8th, we (Krijn, Cora, Jan, Marja) attended the Europe Teen Challenge conference in Prague. The last international conference was in May 2019, so you can imagine the joy to see everyone again.
Staff, students, and volunteers from the Teen Challenge programs from almost all European countries attended! We estimate there were about 250 people.
We set up a large book table and had the opportunity to talk to many friends, to pray together, and encourage one another.
Of course, we received updates on the various ongoing projects and many group pictures were taken 😁 It was really fantastic for Krijn to meet the people behind the projects he did his ice skating fundraisers for.
We also spoke with various people about current needs and projects. So you will see messages about that in the coming months.
We also gave a presentation about running our secondhand shop / coffee house as a community center. We received a lot of positive reactions to our TC Talk.
It was also great for us to get so many enthusiastic responses and to see so much gratitude.
We are currently raising money for the men's center in Berdichev, Ukraine. The project of the month in Twinkeltje and de Schor is the men's home in Lithuania. The next project is a new men's home in Moldova.
