🇨🇿✍🏻🫂 By Daniel Hofkamp: There is something fitting about holding a gathering on Christian communication inside a former monastery in the heart of Prague. The ancient ceilings, the quiet courtyards, the sense that this building has held centuries of conversation, it all set the tone for what Media Associates International (MAI) Europe was attempting to do in its first pan-European MediaFest, held from 5 to 8 May 2026. Seventy-two participants from 17 European countries gathered for the event, joined by three attendees from the United States including MAI president Heather Pubols , a genuinely pan-European gathering, with voices from Romania, Serbia, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, the UK, Spain, France, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Albania, Bulgaria, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Italy. The theme, Jesus is the answer. What is the question?, was not a provocation but an invitation. Before speaking, listen. Before publishing, understand. Before assuming you know what people need, ask what they are actually asking.
