Travel, Training & Team Time

Hi everyone!

Finally... an update :)

From the past few days:

TRAVEL: We are praising God for smooth travel days! Flights were on time, all our bags arrived, Delta representatives were kind, airplane food was decent and there were even a couple hours of sleep!

TRAINING: We just finished two days of training at a beautiful hotel called Malenovice. Along with around 100 others who are heading to other parts of Czech to do English camps, we learned about Czech culture, history, leading small groups, teaching English, etc. Aaaaand recovering from jet lag!

TEAM TIME: The past few days have also been full of team time. We've had time to prep for English camp, but also time to take a quick hike to a nearby waterfall and drink lots of Kofola (a Czech pop!). It's been a sweet time to connect as a team and refocus on why we are here, especially during times of communion and prayer together.

In just a few hours, the team from Kostel Jinak (who we are leading English camp with) will arrive. We can't wait to see (and for some of us to meet) these brothers and sisters who we get the joy of doing ministry with.

Tomorrow, Czech students arrive and camp officially begins!

PRAY:
-for a spirit of deep unity within our team, for kindness in our interactions with each other, for us to move towards each other in love.
-for the final camp preparation details to come together today and tomorrow before students come!
-for Czech students to clearly see something different at English camp -- that Christ would be so evident in the ways we treat each other, have fun, etc.

We are so thankful for your prayers and support. We'll try to give you another update in the next couple of days :)

Love you all,

Jess (for the team!)
