One More!

Hello everyone! Thanks for reading. I just wanted to quickly update you on what happened yesterday. We had a party at the home of one of the students from the church in order to follow-up with students from camp. Many students came and we were able to hang out with them and talk with them more. One girl prayed with a Czech Christian student to become a Christian! It has been so awesome to see GOD at work in the hearts of these students. So thank you for praying! Please keep praying because I know many more students still have questions and many seem to be very close to making a decision to follow Christ.

Back to Vysoke Myto

Camp is over and we are back in Vysoke Myto. It was a fantastic week where we were able to build many good relationships, and introduce students to the gospel. So many students had questions and would grab one or two of our students to ask follow-up questions about our faith in Christ. On the last night we had two students pray to receive Christ! It was a very exciting week. In the past it has been after camp that students have become Christians so I think there is still potential as students go home and reflect on the week at camp that we may hear of more students making a decision to follow Christ. Thank you for praying!

We will spend the day today in Vysoke Myto and have a party at the home of one of the students from the church. Everyone from camp is invited so hopefully we will have more opportunities to build relationships and to answer questions.

Day 6

Tonight we shared the gospel message in our evening session and then discussed it in our discussion groups. It became very clear to me that over the past four years we have built up a great amount of credibility with many of the students who are here, some of them have been at camp with us all four years now. The students' openness to share their beliefs with us and their openness to our faith in Christ is so much greater than our first year here. Many students are asking deep questions about Christianity and are seriously contemplating Christianity. Tonight all around the camp I have seen Czech students sitting with members of our team asking follow-up questions after our group discussions. It is so exciting to see GOD stirring in the hearts of these students. Please pray for them as they wrestle over the gospel. This will be a difficult decision for many of the students here and may take weeks, months, or even years for them to accept the gospel and place their faith in Christ. Pray also for Vlada and the believers from the church in Vysoke Myto as they follow up with these students through out the year. Thanks for keeping up with our team and for supporting us in prayer!

Synergy

Yesterday we spent time with the Czech team going to Castle Bozouv (or something like that, you try and spell it). It was renovated in 1903 to look like it did in Medieval Times (not the dinner and tournament). We had a great time getting to know each other and we are ready to begin camp.

We Made It!

After about 8 hours on the plane and 7 and a half hours in the Dusseldorf airport we hopped on a one hour flight to Prague and arrived safe and tired. We then took a 3 hour train ride to Vysoke Myto and went to our host homes for a good night's rest. Today we will go visit a castle built in the middle ages as we spend time with the team from the Czech church to create some synergy before camp begins tomorrow evening. Please be praying that our team would not experience jet-lag and for the hearts of the students who will be coming to camp tomorrow evening.

Leaving Today!

Hello friends and family! We are leaving today for the Czech Republic. Our team is very excited to get to Vysoke Myto to meet up with Vlada, Katka, Zuzka and the rest of the Czech team.

Check back regularly for updates on our trip.
