Christmas Outreach and Special Service


Christmas Outreach and Special Service

We thank the Lord for this special time of year when we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. It always opens up opportunities to share the gospel with people who otherwise would not listen. We distributed thousands of our Christmas tracts, both on the street and in mailboxes. We pray the Lord will use them in the lives of all who received them.

We had a wonderful time at our special Christmas service. Janek read the Scriptures pertaining to the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, James, David, and Michael played special music. The boys put on a puppet play dealing with the true meaning of Christmas. Even little Matiash got into the spirit and played a special on his small plastic xylophone. I preached on the Place, the Personalities, and the Particulars surrounding the birth of Jesus. Of course that alliteration doesn’t work in Czech. God blessed and people were both encouraged and challenged by the message.


The service was followed by a fellowship. Lots of delicious cookies, cakes, snacks, chips, and other wonderful things were eaten in large quantities. We invited many people but in the end only our faithful members and guests were present. Please pray for Czech souls. The country has gotten much colder and people’s hearts harder in the nearly 12 years we have been here. Please pray for the Lord to do a work in their hearts.
