Colorado Springs Sends Its Best

One of the best things about being a missionary is meeting a lot of short-term missions teams. One of the worst is that they are only short term! A team from Calvary Chapel Colorado Springs was here recently en route from Germany and on their way to help out CC Roudnice.

We were really blessed and encouraged by the maturity, heart for God and for missions that the team showed despite the fact that the majority were just in high school and for many this was their first overseas mission trip.




But just in case you thought this team was all seriousness...we did have some fun...





And the sword came in handy helping the team to keep track of Jason as he lead us through a fast-paced tour of the city.

Thanks, CC Colorado Springs! Hope to see you again!

Remember the Easter Team?

Pictures keep coming in from the team from Calvary Chapel Bible College in Vajta, Hungary that was here at Easter time and it is a blessing because we can remember what God did during that time all over again!



Here is their whole team including our team. Click here to see the original posts about that Easter outreach.

The Bible College team stayed at a local student dormitory and we invited some of the students they met there to an Easter dinner at Cara and Noelle's house, complete with worship and a short Bible study. It was a great time.

Summer Outreach Prayer Request

They say that " a picture is worth a thousand words" and this summer we have an opportunity to "speak" millions of words about God's love to the people of Prague! We have an opportunity to do some outdoor evangelism utilizing some of the dynamic creative visual ministries from Calvary Chapel Kyiv, Ukraine.

Their drama team and a young man who does something really unique that could best be called "Paint-ing Evangelism" are available to come to Prague and we would like to ask you to be praying with us about this. Ukrainians need visas to enter the Czech Republic and for a group this size to come that distance there are a lot of practical needs that need to be met as well. Please pray that God would give us wisdom and open all the necessary doors if this is indeed something that God desires would take place this summer with us in Prague.

Easter Outreach Team

"To turn the hearts of the people of Prague towards God - and the hearts of the people of God towards Prague!"
We didn't have this as a motto for when the team from Calvary Chapel Bible College Europe came to Prague, but we could have!

When the team was here Easter weekend our goal was that God would use them to turn the hearts of the people of Prague towards God. But also we desire that the people of God, whose hearts are already His, would be turned towards Prague!


While giving the students that came an opportunity to minister, experience another country and culture in Europe and to put into practice the truths they are learning at the bible college; we also wanted to show them the needs and opportunities here in Prague.

Our prayer is that God would put a burden on their hearts to pray for Prague, and that maybe some of them might hear God's call to come and minister here and be a part of our team. We know that "The history of missions is the history of answered prayer". (M. Samuel Zwermer).


And while the team was here we did pray. We prayed for each of the team members that, as they were nearing the end of their semester at college, God would clearly lead and direct each one on the next step that He had for them. We prayed for the different plans we had for outreach and evangelism for the weekend (more on that in the next posting!), and we prayed for God to lead us to those people in Prague that God was preparing to hear His good news! And He did!

More about the outreach at the college student dormitory, the Easter dinner and more in upcoming posts....keep praying for us and for these students...and for Prague!

Resurrection Sunday Remembered...

Easter Sunday is long past but it will always be remembered as the first sunrise service for Calvary Chapel Prague.

While most of the city was just waking up, we prayed that Prague would also be awakened spiritually.


It is our prayer that the Czech people would have their eyes opened to God's love and grace and the reason why we celebrate Easter - the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ that wipes away our burden of sin!


Jon, Jason, Cara and Holly (from the Bible College team) made the trek up one of the hills overlooking Prague and were rewarded with an especially amazing view of this already amazingly beautiful city.

As promised, this is the first post about the Easter weekend outreach we had with the team from the bible college in Vajta, Hungary. We have been having a little technical difficulties getting this posting up on our spot, so thanks for your patience, and look forward to more relfections here on the great time that we had with the team!
