OUR STORY
My name is Hanka Fišerová, for years I taught piano, music theory lessons and preparatory classes at the music school and conducted the national Effatha Christian choir. Last year, I replied to God's call, finished everything, handed it over and left for a year-long mission trip to Kenya, which followed my two previous visits to the same place - the area around the town of Bondo, western Kenya, just outside of Lake Victoria.
It was all made possible through the help of Pastor Paul, who has worked in the local community for a long time, he has their trust and knows their needs. He has at heart practical help for those in need, but most importantly the spiritual growth of the local community, especially the younger generation.
Out of our collaboration came the idea of doing Christian camps for children and young people in rural Kenya, where they could grow in their relationship with God and at the same time engage in sports and arts activities that they don't have much opportunity to do here. Effatha does something similar musically every summer in Litomyšl, and we have expanded it to include more artistic disciplines. Through the arts, we want to point them to God's character and inspire them to express their own relationship with God and the world around them.

MEET THE TEAM
Our international team is smaller this year as we will be working with a team of local teachers and assistants from Kenya.
We are all volunteers who give our time, finances and effort to the work God has called us to do. We want to share our lives, gifting and experiences of God with the young people.
