A Caring Community of Many Cultures

Dear Family, Friends, and Prayer Partners,
   
Thanks so much for your continued prayer support. 
We really appreciate your notes, cards, emails, and phone calls. 
This month has been extremely busy and exciting as we worked with teams
from Georgia and Florida.
   
We had the opportunity to partner with Marsha, a wonderful gal from Florida, for the Week of Prayer for Prague. 
She allowed us to share our vision for Prague with her and she encouraged us daily through her prayers and
enthusiasm for missions. 
   
From May 16th through the 31st we were  joined by a team of ten students and their team leader from Georgia Collegiate Ministries.  Frank, Alex, Jordan, Cheryl, Trista, Leah, Renee, Aaron, Joel, Marshall, and Landon partnered with Darrell to reach out in our neighborhood park and assist in the English ministry in Repy.  They  facilitated our English Club and led in our Sunday morning worship time.  The team also worked with our University Strategist and distributed different formats of scripture presentation near public transportation stops. 
   
Two students have remained in Prague to work with our team through the summer.  Please be in prayer for Alex and Aaron as they work with us to find ways to creatively share the gospel here in Prague.
   
We will be ending our English ministry in the schools next week until next fall.  Please pray that when we return to the schools we will have opportunities to share our faith with other teachers.  Pray that contacts that we have made in the schools will lead to a small group Bible study. 
   
Please continue to pray for us as we use our Czech language skills in the community and with the people we encounter each day.  Our skills are still very limited, but most people seem to be delighted when we try to speak Czech, even if it is incorrect!
