Greetings from Prague!

Jon and I will soon be nearing 18 years here in the Czech Republic. There have been many challenges and many blessings over those years. This past month we enjoyed one of the greatest blessings we have received, when we agreed to move our church into a new building.

We have recently finished enough work in the building that it is now ready for visitors.

Even before the signs were up and before the ad was in the yearly Hostvice paper, our Sunday was a wonderful taste of what can be done with hard work and lots of prayer. Because of a few tracts that were distributed, we saw new folk come, listen and enjoy the services.

A number of churches and many individuals have told us they pray for the work here. We do believe this is why we received this blessing. At this special time of the year, we are thankful for all of you.

Psalms 34:8 “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”

Please Pray For Us In 2012

As we enter the year 2012, we have much to be thankful for. The Lord blessed us in so many ways this past year. Souls have been saved, lives changed, and a new church location that fits our needs as a growing congregation has been a huge blessing. Just last month you may have heard of the death of our former Czech President and play writer, Vaclav Havel. Havel died after a long illness. It was a very sad time for the Czech Republic as people placed candles, flags and flowers all over Prague in his memory.

Vaclav Havel was greatly used 22 years ago in leading his people through what is known as, The Velvet Revolution. It was this revolution that brought freedom to the Czech and Slovak countries and opened the door for us to be able to minister in Prague today. We came to Prague 18 years ago and the open door is still open and wider than ever.

We are grateful to be serving our Lord in this needy country. We covet your prayers.

Our New Sanctuary!

We are now ready for services in our new place!  Much work has been done and we are so thankful for what the Lord has provided.  Pray for us as we press on for the Lord!

Moving Day in Prague!

Revelation 3:8 “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door…”

It was a long day! But an exciting one with moving from a very old building in the center of Prague to a new building on the edge of the Prague. Hostivice has the feel of a smaller town and yet borders Prague 6 region which is one of the biggest 14 areas of Prague. This is a big change for us. We have prayed for 2 years for the Lord to open up a new place for us. This was shown to us the week after we had an all night prayer meeting with all the members in attendance. The building was priced too high for us but when we offered less, the Landlords agreed. These 2 Polish landlords have built us a wall for diving the room for the children and the adults at no extra cost.

Many boxes of literature were brought to the new place along with most of our furniture. We now have 8 days to be ready to be completely moved in ready for services.

Hostivice distributes a monthly magazine which is distributed freely to all residents and we have already reserved space for our advertisement.

One of our families have lived in this area for 4 years and just found a house in the neighborhood of the new church.

The Day we received a new key to the building we found a lovely apartment across the street from the new church which is smaller and less expensive for us to move into December.

Our prayer is to reach families who are in this area. The new facilities are perfectly set up for this unlike our church building in the city center.

We are so grateful for the Lord’s provision for us and how He has provided just what our growing congregation needs. Next time we will share our new home with you!

Pray for us as we press on for our wonderful Lord and Saviour.
