It's Hike Day!

Hi everyone,

Pictures are hopefully coming soon... but just wanted to write a quick update on how things are going!

Camp is going great so far. Students are doing an awesome job teaching English in the mornings and leading discussion groups in the evening. Camp has a different atmosphere than it has in the past few years because of the 25 new students here, but it is so good! Last night, a lot of students heard clearly about God for (maybe) the first time. Tomorrow night the Gospel will be shared and there will be a "labyrinth" set up for students to walk through different interactive activities and think about what they have been hearing. Please be praying for tomorrow - it is a big night!

We also want to ask for prayers today as we go on a day-long hike. The purpose of hike day is not just to climb a mountain and be completely exhausted at the end, but it is an intentional time for conversations to happen. Pray for boldness for our team and the Czech youth group as we talk with unbelievers, ask them questions about what they are thinking about and have spiritual conversations.

Also-- we would appreciate prayers for continued energy and strength! It's past the half way point through camp and our bodies can feel that. It's definitely been a spiritually, emotionally and physically intense week. Pray for strength today as we hike and in the next two days specifically as we don't want to burn out in this crucial point of the week!

Thank you for your continued prayers. We so appreciate all of you!!

Jess (for all)

  1. Thanks for the updates! I am "praying without ceasing" for all of you!! When God wakes me at 2:00 am, I know it's time to pray for all that God is moving you to do at that time. We are so proud of all of you and can't wait to hear about all God is accomplishing in Czech Republic!!
