Sunday blessings

This Sunday was one of our highest number in attendence. It was good to see Jacob, Lenka and Betty back with us. They have missed a few Sundays for various reasons. Betty was able to stay in the nursery suring services, which is a blessing in itself. Jacob (Betty's dad)was able to listen to a message on repeatance and his need for salvation without any destractions. Lucie was back this week playing the piano. She is a 16 year old young lady who needs to be saved. Please pray for her as she continues to attend both Sunday school and worship services. We have made a few new contacts through teaching English - please pray for visitors.

Is repentence just for the lost?

Jeff preached today on the Lamb of God, but he also had a message for those who have trusted the Lord as Savior. Is respentence just for the lost? Please remember to pray for the work here in Brno. Salvation of these dear people is just the beginning. As we continue to disciple, we see our great need for wisdom. We are so grateful for the opportunities to minister to these families and are encourged to see the Lord at work in their lives.

Visitors

Sunday was a very encouraging day with two visitors and those who attend faithfully. We were still missing a few because of illnesses, but for the most part everyone is doing better. It was nice to hear the piano again this Sunday. Lucie came to both services again this week and played the piano for church services. I think we sound much better with the music.

All the boys are doing a great job with the memory verses. We are working on verses about the Word of God. Last weeks lesson was about the 10 commandments.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

The Lord is good

We had a good day. The Lord blessed in so many ways. The children were ready with the verse that they had memorized. Our boys had to quote the verse in both, English and Czech. Each child was rewarded for their work. The Lord also blessed us with a piano player. Her name is Lucie. Lucie is one of our English students, who plays the piano very well. We asked her if she would like to play for our services and she said "Yes." Please pray for her salvation.

coughs, sniffles and sneezes

It is too early in the season to be suffering from a cold virus, but it seemed to be the theme of Sunday's service. Coughing, sneezing and sniffling were all heard above the music. Also several were unable to be in services. Please pray for the health of our family and the Czech families. We need this to pass quickly - we have a long winter ahead of us. Thanks

In Sunday school we added scripture memory. The children seemed to be excited and eager to learn, or maybe it was the idea of a small reward that encourage them the most.

Faithfulness

Praise the Lord for the faithfulness of the members and also for those who are not saved, but faithfully come to hear the Word of God and the salvation message being proclaimed.

This Sunday morning, we had just finished our Sunday school music when the door bell rang. It was Mirek standing at the door. He was quite up set with himself for being late. He took a moment to catch his breath after the long, quick walk from the bus stop in the square, took off his shoes and quickly joined us. How many of you rely on the public bus system to get to Sunday school and church services? Mirek and his wife, Milada, faithfully attend services, but have not trusted the Lord for salvation. Please remember to pray for them. And yes, they take three buses just to get here on Sunday mornings. Praise God.

Blessings

Thank you Lord for a great day. The children enjoyed Sunday school as we shared the story of Pharaoh, Moses and the plagues. We covered 9 of them leaving the 10th plague until next week. We tried to teach the song C H R I S T I A N. We had so much fun singing a new song in English.

A merry heart doesth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Proverbs 17:22

We will be having another baptisim. Last week Lenka came to us and said that she had trusted the Lord as her personal savior. Also after the morning services the Sunday before last, Alena bowed her head and asked the Lord to save her. Amen
