Tea for Two...or Eight?

What goes together better than girls, pretty things, and great conversation? Well, tea and coffee, and sweets, of course! :)
Recently we had all of those in abundance when the "ladies" in our fellowship here got together for a "tea". There were dainty little sandwiches (without the crusts, of course!), scones and fresh strawberries with cream and of course - strawberry jam. (Our hostess' told us that was the only proper jam for high tea!)

Roommates Laura, Chrissy, and Elizabeth were our wonderful hostesses that provided their home and culinary talents us.

Some of the girls brought special teas or coffees that were significant to them and as
we sipped they told us of time they had spent in India, or Costa Rica, or Ukraine or even Montana! We are quite an international group. :)

Best of all, though was the time of sweet fellowship and sharing of our hearts. We looked into God's Word and what He has to say about who we are in Him and how much he treasures us. It was a special evening of sweetness and beauty, but not only that of the treats and flowers, but of the special treasures in each girl's heart that has been put there by our Father. Please keep us in prayer that we would nurture those seeds of loveliness and see God bring about His fruit in due season in all of our lives.

Outreach to Roudnice

This past Saturday we were able to lend a minstry hand to a brother. Roudnice is a little town about an hour by train outside of Prague where Milan and his family have been living for a few years. They have been faithfully serving in the face of discouraging odds. People have been slow in responding and their little fellowship is small, but we believe God will bless in His time. So it was great to be a part of an outreach with them and continue to plant seeds. (We had our own outreach in Prague recently with a team from the Bible School in Hungary, and there will be more about that here soon.)

Roudnice is an historical town with a small hill that is said to be the place of the very first Czech settlement. It is also considered a "holy" place by those who practice pagan religions and many gather there at various times. This past weekend there was a sort of county fair held at the base of this hill outside of Roudnice.

We (Jason, Noelle, Cara and our friend Elizabeth who is in Prague teaching English) joined Milan and folks from his fellowshipo to hand out gospel tracts. We were there most of the day Saturday and were able to hand out about 2,ooo tracts!

All of us were praying as we handed the tracts out. Praying that God would get them to the right people in the right time. Praying that His Word would go deep. Praying that new life would spring up, watered by the Spirit. As we saw the different people wandering around, looking for entertainment at the fair, our hearts were really broken for some people that seemed to be so hurting. Noelle and Cara really felt moved by a group of Roma girls (gypsies) that were there. They refused the tracts at first, but then took them and we prayed for healing in their hearts and lives and that they would come to know the Prince of Peace. We are praying for an in-road with the Roma people to share the love of Jesus with them, as with all the people in the Czech Republic.


We also had time for a little fun. :)


Noelle and Jason tried out the local carnival rides.







Cara met with some of the "locals". (Fake wigs, evidently, are a very popular Czech fair accessory!)

It was a good time for our little team and a great time of prayer on the train ride home for all the seeds that were planted that day.

Please join us in praying for:

• Milan and his family and the work in Roudnice
• Pray for the Roma in the Czech Republic
• Pray for the opportunity for outreaches in Prague
