Henar Valentín
Hola! My name is Henar and I’m from the beautiful Spain. I’ve been part of the Sion Community for the last three years and my life has been full of excitement and blessings since I arrived. I like drawing and crafting, reading and foreign languages. I’ve studied four languages so far, and my favourite is Japanese! I also enjoy spending time with my friends.
One of my favourite bible verses is Js 2:14-17 (“How does it help, my brothers, when omeone who has never done a single good act claims to have faith?  Will that faith  bring salvation? If one of the brothers or one of the sisters is in need of clothes and has not enough food to live on, and one of you says to them, 'I wish you well; keep yourself warm and eat plenty', without giving them these bare necessities of life, then what  good  is that? In the same way faith, if  good  deeds do not go with it, is quite dead.”) I believe this is a challenge for all Christians to really be salt and light to the world and bring salvation to the ends of the earth.
Rastislav Krempaský
No nazdar! My name is Rastislav (for non-slavic people it is quite difficult to pronounce my name! It actually sounds more like ‘Rrast-chees-lau‘! It’s the closest most people get.)  I come from a beautiful country in the heart of Europe, Slovakia (officially called the Slovak Republic). After finishing my studies at secondary school, I decided to go somewhere out of my usual routine, habits and things that I knew well and I have appeared here, in Sion Community. Even though I plan to be here for one year, one sentence in particular has changed my approach to this year. The sentence was: ‘Do not go there for a year, go there like you will stay there forever‘. I am curious what God the Father has prepared for me and I just hope I will be able to receive all of this and my heart will be opened. May God bless each of you who read this and I ask you to pray for me. Thanks ;) 
(Some of my favourite Bible verses are: Job 9:5 ; Lk 2:29-32 ; Isaiah 43:4 ; 1Peter 2:24).
Mihaela Šimunović
Hi, my name is Mihaela and I come from Croatia. I really believe that people need to use their uniqueness and gifts in the best way that they can, because of the One who gives us everything.  So, that's one of the reasons why I applied  for the Foundation year in Sion Community. I wanted to try a new adventure in my life. After finishing my Nursing studies I came here. I like photography, writing, reading in a cozy corner of my room.  I play guitar and piano and I just love to get lost in the depth of worshiping God through music.  I like recreation and enjoy spending time outside in different places and in  different ways. I love hanging out with people, and having a good time and lots of laughter. I don't have a particular favorite Bible quote but my favorite books from the Bible are Song of Songs and St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians.
Zuzana Komendová
My name is Zuzana and I am from Slovakia. I spent my childhood living in a block of flats, sending private mail messages to my friend through the balconies, playing puppet theater on the staircase, writing my own magazine called Yeti and playing hide and seek. In my secondary school I was learning how to saw, drill and solder as I was training to become a goldsmith. I studied at two different universities at the same time - Applied Art and Mission and Charity Work. I love reading books, going for long walks in the middle of nowhere and spending time with God.
My favourite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11-14:"I know what plans I have in mind for you, Lord declares, plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. When you call to me and come and pray to me, I shall listen to you. When you search for me, you will find me; when you search wholeheartedly for me, I shall let you find me..."
Oscar Talavera
​Hello! My name is Oscar, I’m from Spain and I’ve recently finished my studies in economics in the University. God has done so many things in my life that I felt it was the moment to take an additional step in order to make every person know that Jesus loves them, and that’s why this year I’ve decided to come to England to join the Mission Team in Sion Community. Here He continues to show me how great He is through his enormous family, and I’m finding a place where I can develop and discover the talents that God has given me. I like reading, running in the park and I’ve recently developed a passion for cycling. My favourite verse in the Bible is Romans 8, 28: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
