Tracy and Brenda Lesan perform "Illusions to Explain the Gospel" with a sketch board message of Salvation in Slovakia.


Slovakia

Tracy and Brenda Lesan and their children who live in Bratislava, Slovakia perform illusions using such props as a sketch board to present the Gospel message of Salvation. This method allows the Gospel to be presented in a non-threatening manner which is especially important in countries such as Slovakia where people are very reserved as a culture. These activities take place on street corners, youth meetings, rallies, and other public forums. Another vital part of Tracy and Brenda's ministry is providing counseling to unbelievers who are struggling and encouragement to young believers as they begin to apply Biblical teaching to their daily life.

 ELIZABETH UPDATE
    Over the last 3-4 weeks we've spent around 20 hours in waiting rooms and doctors offices for multiple examinations and tests in several different clinics in Slovakia and Austria to try to find out what could be causing Elizabeth's frequent high fevers and extremely low--off the charts--weight gain over the past 8+ months. We've also consulted with doctors in the US.  So far all the test results have come back negative, but we're still concerned. Thankfully, so far this month she's been doing better, so she's maybe turned a corner. PLEASE KEEP PRAYING with us for complete healing.

FOOT-TIED
    This past Sunday evening Brenda fell and injured her ankle really badly. It was major drama just deciding what to do. Do we get a babysitter to come at 10pm or leave Jacob in charge? Do we go to the emergency room in Hainburg, Austria or Bratislava? Do we wait until morning? Two phone calls, one to each of the emergency rooms, provided the answers. The Bratislava emergency room wouldn't provide the right kind of treatment, and the Hainburg one didn't want to take us then because the paydesk was closed. So we decided to go to Hainburg in the morning. Then in the morning on the way
to Hainburg there was a horrible traffic jam because half of the interstate was shut down. So we went back home, and I spent an hour looking in the phone book and on the internet and making phone calls to various clinics and hospitals around Bratislava, each of which kept telling me to go to somebody else.

Finally a perturbed nurse at one of the clinics very unwillingly gave me the phone number for a surgeon who wasn't listed in the phone book.    Thankfully, this surgeon was not on vacation like the other half of
Bratislava, and he was also very pleasant and helpful. He worked us into his already full schedule for the day, and because his is a private practice it wasn't a problem for us to pay in cash--except that they'd just received a new accounting system with new European Union regulations, and his nurse who normally handles it was gone, and it took him half an hour and a phone call to tech support just to figure out how to have the computer issue our bill.  He said that Brenda had most likely just a pulled ligament. He sold us an ankle brace, gave us a prescription for crutches which we also bought, and prescribed 7-10 days of rest. Once again (same song, 10th verse) the kids did a good job of reading and staying quiet and taking care of each other in the waiting area while we were with the doctor. We're grateful for how God
led us to him.

Now three days later Brenda's still in a lot of pain. It's extremely difficult for her to not do too much because each day there's so much to do, but she is at least resting some. The kids are doing a good job of pitching in extra to help. PRAY for a quick and full recovery.

CHURCH BRIEFS:

* HENRIETA has had some major decisions to make this summer regarding her employment and living situation. She was considering attending Word of Life's Bible institute in Hungary for a year but for financial reasons has decided to stay in Bratislava. The Lord has just provided a new apartment for her to rent and a part-time job to make up for the loss of half of her teaching load at the Hungarian high school next school year.

* LUCIA is still growing in her faith while ANDREJ remains as hard as ever. With no advance warning last week he removed her from their bank account, so now she's dependent on whatever money he chooses to give her for the two boys and on the small stipend from the government for mother's leave. PRAY that she would be strong in the Lord and that Andrej would turn to the Lord and turn back to Lucia.

In Christ,
Tracy, for Brenda too
