Conference of Slovak and Czech Baptist Women 2011


In spite of splitting of our nations, Slovak and Czech Baptist Women work together and have their common conferences each year. We are thankful to our Lord for His blessing on the last conference in April 2011. It took place in the Czech Republic this time.
The main topic of the conference was: „Are we the light of the world!?“

Ruth Madarova
„You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.“ Matthew 5:14-16

Although we live in the world, we are not to be of the world, we must not be like the world in our attitude or behaviour. As the children of God, we are to be a light to others – to our immediate family and also to those who dwell in darkness. We are to be Christians who live what we preach and teach. We should determine that we will be a light in this present world, wherever we are. We can ask God to help us glorify Him through our choices and actions. Letīs be a shining example of victorious Christians!

At the conference the new committee for Slovakia and for the Czech Republic was introduced. Personally I am very thankful to the Lord for all the sisters of the retiring committee because they are lovely Christian women who work a lot for our Lord. Now they are praying for us and encouraging us in our beginning as the new members of the committee.

Iīd like to introduce to you the new committee.

Our desire is to step forward in the name of Jesus, in His power and wisdom. We donīt want to rely on ourselves and our own strength. We lean on our God and we trust Him because He has promised to provide the help and wisdom we need for the task He has given us. We are keeping our eyes on the Lord in everything.
Our desire is to bring encouragement and be a blessing everywhere we go..
