Happy Czech Independence Day

Happy independence day from the Czech Republic,
20 years ago today the Czech people gathered in the main square in Prague and demanded their freedom.
Czech students bravely stood against the Russian soldiers and refused to disburse. The result was the end
of the Soviet era of control here in the Czech Republic.

We had a wonderful service in Brno on Sunday. The largest number of Czechs joined with us since the time
we first arrived on the field in 2002. 10 precious Czech souls gathered with us. One of which is saved and
several more who are very close. The Lord gave great liberty to share the message of Christ as well as
great ability in the language. Several people told me that I was speaking better Czech than when we left last fall.
Please pray for the salvation of Janko, Anna, Lenka, Milada, and Milada’s husband Mirek.

We were also blessed to have a supporting pastor visiting with us from Canada. Pastor Reaves from Bible Baptist
Church in Brandon was there along with his wife Bonnie and their grown daughter Nikki. His son John Reaves
has been filling in for me during our absence and was also in attendance with his family. What a blessing to
have a likeminded man so close and willing to help keep things going during our furlough. We praise the Lord for
John and Rachael, our fellow missionaries to this dark land.

For souls still waiting,
Jeff Allison
