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.

Aww, I loved reading your updates, Emilie! I thought of you all on that Sunday morning when Havel died. I couldn't stop thinking about that speech at Lehigh University, "Come over and teach us.." What a great work of "coming over and teaching" you have done over the last 18 years!!
Dear Abbi,
You and your family have been a great encouragement to us over the years. I can never forget the first furlough we came back home from Prague and you and your sister were holding a big WELCOME HOME RETTIGS sign! Thank you for your sweet comment. I sure do miss you all. Love, Emilie
