Learning Community,
January 2026

The theme for our upcoming learning community is To advance the gospel of Jesus and his kingdom. We will explore the topic of the Transforming Power of the Gospel – firstly, in considering how the gospel can transform us and set us free in ministry as we learn to trust that God is sufficient. Secondly, we will explore ways and stories as to how the Gospel can overflow from us in the context of ordinary friendships and relationships.

We’ll have some input from Jon Gallagher (Birmingham, UK), spend time in the Scriptures, share what we’re learning on the ground and reflect on how the Lord might be leading us to respond. We’ll focus on the theme’s impact both on us personally and on how we minister.

I’m looking forward to spending time together in January – learning together and from each other about advancing the gospel of Jesus and his kingdom, as we long to see the Navigator Core come alive in student ministries across Europe. 

We dream big, start small and go deep.

In faith,

Ole Andreas Olafsrud

Flights to either:

Vienna Airport in Austria and a 60 min bus
Exit into the arrivals hall going to your right. There is a screen near the terminal exit by the McDonald’s which shows you the next bus departure times by destination. Buses to Bratislava usually leave from platform 4. You can buy your ticket from the driver. Ask for a ticket to the bus stop “Bratislava Autobusova Stanica, Nivy – The Main Bus Station”.

Bratislava Airport and either a short taxi or bus
If you are arriving at the Bratislava Airport you can either take a taxi or 2 buses. After exiting the airport go to the bus stop and take Bus 96 (direction to Petzalka) you will go for 12 stops, get off in the stop Maximiliana Hella. Then take bus 50 (direction: Petrzalka, Aupark). Get off after 6 stops, the stop is called Dulovo namestie. The hotel will be in that plaza, right infront of you.
