Peter & Eva Hrubo
Peter and Eva met while attending college in Žilina during the communist era. Together they were involved in pioneering the youth ministry in their local church.

Eight years later, in September 2003, the Lord called him to join the TCKompas (Josiah Venture’s partner organization in Slovakia) team. Since January 2006, Peter has been the director of TCK. Eva has her hand made card enterprise and works part-time as the TCK Bookkeeper. Peter and Eva have two teenagers, Daniela, and Michaela and are involved in their youth ministry in their local church.
