Sorry for the delay in updating- the past few days of camp have been full and have flown by.
And just like that, it's the end of camp. We just finished our final night of discussion groups- and ended with our typical bonfire and writing encouraging notes to each other.
Thank you for your prayers for us these past few days. Hike day was awesome- the weather was sunny, clear and hot- and the view was beautiful from the top of Lysa Hora. There were great conversations that took place and it really launched us into the second half of camp.
A brief overview of these last few days:
Tuesday- hike day + girls night (painting nails and doing face masks) & man night (grilling sausages and throwing logs) in the evening
Wednesday- English, rainy day, indoor games in afternoon, game show (minute to win it games) in the evening
Thursday- English, "Gospel Night" (clearly presenting Gospel to students), čajovna ("tea house" - a quiet place for conversations to happen), night walk
Friday- last morning of English, last discussion groups, bonfire, encouragement papers
The atmosphere of this camp has been so sweet. There is really a lot of openness- many students are interested in what they have been hearing. Many are hearing the Gospel and stories from the Bible for the first time. Be praying that these conversations continue! Pray that we and the Czech team would follow up well.
Tomorrow we head to Sumperk for follow-up. This is when our students get to stay in the homes of their Czech friends. Pray for energy and safety as we have a longer travel day ahead of us. Pray for students from camp to come to the follow-up events this weekend! This time is crucial for connecting them to Kostel Jinak. Pray for strength and missional hearts as our team continues to press on in relationships with students and in initiating spiritual conversations.
We head to Prague on Monday for two days of debrief and then the team heads home already on Wednesday! I'll try to update at least once more before the trip is over.
Thanks for praying!!
Thanks so much for the updates! I thought of you a lot today while I was at work and have been praying. Praise the Lord for the good work He is doing in, around and ahead of each of you. May you all be a blessing and be blessed as you enjoy the hospitality of the Czech students and families. Continuing to pray for strength, energy, and endurance for the last fews day and I am praying for the gospel to propel each of you at every moment of the days, evenings, and nights! Sleep well! Blessings! B.
