Gary and Jeannine are going on a year-long mission in Martin, Slovakia. We are leaving on July 20, 2010 with 22 others from California on a short term mission for two weeks.We will be teaching conversational English at The Centre for Christian Education. At the end of that short-term mission, the other 22 members of the team will return to California while Gary and Jeannine will stay there for a year. We will be blogging about our experiences throughout the year.

Location of Martin
The Centre for Christian Education is located in Martin, Slovakia. Martin is in the northwest part of the country. It is also a Slovak culture center. Many Slovak leaders in the history of Slovakia are buried in the cemetary in Martin. At the Centre for Christian Education there is a bronze plaque comemorating a debate between the Slovak leaders and the Hungarian leaders (during the time of Hungarian occupation of Slovakia) about the language of instructions for Slovak students.
