Exit Tour – Fall 2012 – Unprecedented!

November 14th, 2012 by Zac

Every day i am writing notes on facebook to high school students. There are so many I can’t keep up with them all. It is unbelievable the opportunity provided by EXIT Tour to share truth with the rising generation in Slovakia.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the EXIT ministry, it is a very special outreach project that visits public schools in Slovakia.  The goal of EXIT Tour is to speak the plain truth about the problems teenagers face today. The lectures focus on the truth about healthy lifestyles and true life values.  While we are in the schools, we provide an assembly for the students in their gym, where a music band performs a few songs. During the morning concert, we present our program, invite students to afternoon activities, and promote various preventative lectures taking place at their school that day. Students are divided into five or six groups to attend two of the lectures in their own classrooms, ranging in topic from sexual purity, to AIDS, relationships, drug and alcohol prevention.

As was previously, my lecture focused on divorce prevention, or steps to a healthy family. Whenever I mentioned healthy family, I have all eyes focused on me. Because statistics say that many come from dysfunctional or broken families. It is a great honor to be able to speak to these students (about 30 in a class at a time) about how to fulfill their dreams of a healthy, happy family.

We visited two cities in Slovakia over a two week period, visiting 7 high schools and around 2200 students! After each lecture, I would invite the class to stay and hear the spiritual part of this topic. Sometimes half the class would stay as I explained the gospel and drew the bridge illustration on the blackboard. At times the whole group would make a decision to receive God’s gift of salvation. At other times only two or three. At other times no one would stay during break time. It was always different and surprising how God would move. But for sure, many changed their minds about life and decided to follow Christ.

One student told me later on Facebook,

“sometimes I fall into depression about the topic of family, because I don’t live with my parents – just grandparents. My father left home before I was born and my mother left when I was 2 years old. My grandfather recently had a stroke and my grandmother drinks heavily every day. Sometimes I just don’t know what to do”

As I look into the eyes of these students, I know this is the kind of life that is often in the background. So, a lecture like “healthy family” offers them real hope to change their future.

Please pray for the EXIT TOUR team as we plan and prepare for another tour in other cities in the Spring.
