Dave,
The next-next issue of fellowship! magazine (I'm the new-ish editor, I took over with June issue) will feature a profile on Jon and Tanya Parks as well as a story on Poplar Springs Baptist Church. We were already planning on profiling the Parks, two of our self or partner-funded field personnel, but then Rob Fox alerted me to the Slovakia connection w/ Poplar Springs and CBFVA's partnership with the Parks. That issue will be out in early December.
I've had a good bit of interaction with Shane McNary and met him recently when he was in Decatur. The McNarys are also in Slovakia. I wrote a story in the upcoming issue of fellowship! magazine on the McNarys and Rachel Brunclikova (who is in the Czech Republic) - they were involved in disaster relief efforts in the region, there was devastating flooding in Central Europe back in May, actually the costliest worldwide natural disaster thus far in 2013, more costly than the Oklahoma tornadoes.
