Greetings from Plzen!

Ahoj! We had a wonderful time today working with children attending Skola Martina Luthera school in Plzen. They were so welcoming to us and open to our presentation to them about GAUMC, our mission here in the Czech Republic, and what life is like in Texas. We shared some laughs, taught them a little bit of Texan speak (which we used to form the beginnings of a hybrid language), read stories, and colored with them. During our presentation, it was such a blessing when many of the children looked upon a picture of a team from a previous year and immediately began pointing and saying ‘Charles’. After timage image image image image image image image image imagehat we were given a tour by Pastor Petr of the building and the chapel, that latter having some breath-taking carvings.

Tomorrow will be a day in which we continue work at another school and also doing yard work and painting at the re-entry house in Plzen. We ask that you continue praying that we fall in line with God’s will as often as possible and that we are able to reflect his grace each day while we are here…not only with our words but more importantly through our actions.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

 

Team arrived in Prague

just got a message from Pastor Filip that the team arrived in Prague and are now on their way to Plzen, about an hour’s drive away. Hotel check-in and I bet they head to San Marino for pizza and pasta. Keep in mind they are 7 hours ahead. Here is a couple of pix from their departure yesterday. Cara and Becky not picture as they took earlier flights. image image

23 days and counting

So blessed to be a part of such a awesome team of 9 headed to Plzen, Czech Republic to share and work with our partnership church Maranatha.  We will be scraping, painting inside and outside at the Re-Entry House, working in the garden and repairing the fencing. We will also go with staff to help with their outreach in the community.   

 Please be in prayer for us as we prepare for this amazing journey. Our team scripture is from Genesis 12:2 Blessed to be a blessing. 

We will be posting pictures and sharing our journey. Please feel free to leave comments and words of encouragement.
