Dear Friends in Christ,

We finished with the English Camp yesterday and it was an amazing time.  The Gospel was raised high in both the lives of the believers here as well as in their love for the Czech people.  Many of the campers heard the truth and have expressed great interest in learning more.

We had a joyful time today at the Kladno and Usti churches, as well as fun time hanging out with some of the campers who came and visited.  We were all sad that the English Camp is over, but we are excited to spend the next week following-up with some of the students.  Please pray for this time, that we would exhibit Christlike love and boldness.  Please also pray that we would encourage the believers here (especially the Smiths) and that we would help build bridges between the people from the camp and the churches.

We also have prayer requests for some specific people.

Lucka, Roy, Eva and Radek have all made recent professions of faith in Christ.  They have come a long way since last summer and we are amazed by the changes we see.  However, please pray that their faith would be tested as genuine and that their hearts would prove to be good soil that bears much fruit.  Pray that we would have several opportunities to encourage them in their young faith.

Daniel, Marketa and Martin are all actively seeking the truth.  We will continue to have opportunities with Daniel and Marketa.  Please pray that they would be diligent in searching the Scriptures and that we would make the most of our time with them.

Vladimir, Hana, Ondra, Pavel, Daniel B., Mirka all have an interest and an openness toward spiritual things.  Please pray that the Lord will continue to work in their hearts, starting with a deep conviction of their sins which would lead them to be desperate for Christ.  Please also pray for more opportunities with them to share Christ.

Martina, Pavla, Alzbeta, Antonin, Milosh, Vaclava are all professing Christians from other Czech churches, though we are unsure that they are true believers.  However, they have all expressed greater interest in growing in their faith and knowledge.  We will have more opportunities to speak with them, so please pray for discernment on our part in encouraging them to trust in Christ.

And there are the many others that we will be seeing though we are unsure of their spiritual interest or they have expressed little to no interest.  However, they have a desire to spend time with the team so we will have more opportunities with them as well.  Please pray that the Lord will use our time together to point them to Christ.

So as you can see, there is much to pray for and much ministry to do.  The team is doing great and the Smiths have been such a great encouragement.  We are learning a great deal and are praying that these things will continue to impact us when we return.

For the Gospel!
