In need of prayer

On Sunday, Milada gave us an up-date on Mirek's mother's health. It is not good. Please pray for her health to improve. Also please pray that Jeff will be able to visit with her. She is very hard and bitter from the past.She needs the Lord's forgiveness and she needs to forgive others. Another 400 pieces of literature was distributed on Saturday. Please pray for the people living in Žebětín, a small village just outside Brno. Please remember to pray for Světlana. She still needs to be saved. Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. Psalm 34:20

Literature distribution

It was a wonderful day in the Lord. It was good to see Mirek in services today. Some of you may remember the attitude of his employer, who has scheduled Mirek to work most Sundays this year.

Despite the weather (a bit cold and windy), we began our literature outreach. This Saturday we distributed 400 "Kterou cestu zvolíš? (Which Road?) tracts. This is the first time for literature in these boxes in this village, just outside Brno.

Please remember to pray for the literature outreach. Through this method, we are able to reach three people per home. Each tract has a mail-in request for a home visit or correspondent Bible studies.

Sunday services

What another wonderful day in the house of our Lord and Savior. Sunday school memorization is back in the schedule. The boys are doing a great job. We are working on verses from Psalms. I say the boys are doing a great job because we only have one girl and she is only 2 years old. Pray for more girls to join our Sunday school time.

After services we had a delicious cheese cake to celebrate Debra's birthday. She was greeted with gifts, flowers, cards and hugs. Praise God for my wife and helper.

Beautiful Sunday

Prasie the Lord for a beautiful Sunday. The sun is shining, but the temperatures are still in low numbers. We have spring flowers, which brought joy to all this Sunday as we look forward to winter's end. The winters are so long here, but this year hasn't brought us the snow/ice or fridget temperatures as in the past.

This week's diciplineship meeting with the Mazgot's brought up many questions. They desire to learn God's Word and serve the Lord with their life. Please keep their family in your prays.

Lunch was served at our house then off to the park for a bit of that sunshine. We also met with a women named, Dagmar. Debra will be helping her prepare for an English exam at her employment, but she was also courious about our work. Jeff was able to share some truth with her. Dagmar is a mother of three children and lives in Brno. Please pray for the opportuntiy to lead this family to the Lord.

Sunday Services

Sunday was a great day, not only in the services and fellowship, but also the weather.
Spring flowers are in bloom and the sun is warm.

This Sunday was our spaghetti dinner. We all enjoyed the food and the fellowship.

Please pray for Milada. She was unable to be with us for services and the spaghetti dinner because of dential problems. She is in a lot of pain and needs the dentist to decide on the next procedure.

How to study....

Sunday services were wonderful. Jeff taught on "How to study the Bible." It was a lesson that was needed at this time. Our friend, Jana, was able to visit with us in both the Czech and English services. We don't see her often, but it is always a blessing to have her with us.

Discouragement was also a part of Sunday when Svetlana told us that she will not be coming to church services any more. She has decided to trust tradition of man rather than the Word of God. Please pray that she will find emptiness in her religion. We will still be teaching her English, so she will not be getting away from the gospel message - the truth.

Jeff was able to leave some tracts on campus this week. He didn't get to speak to any of the students, but ordered a coffee from a lady he had met 4 years ago. He left her with some materials and an invite to services. Please continue to pray for the University outreach in Brno.

A blessing of $250.00 for literature came this week from one of our supporting churches. This blessing came just after Jeff stepped out in faith and purchased some books and other very useful materials translated into Czech. Thank you Lord.

A message of Chritian living

Last week we reported the health of the family, but this week it has been a completely different story to tell. Sunday's services were held in Milada's and Mirek's home to avoid all the germs that my family has added to our home as they try to recover from a horrible virus that hit them last Wednesday.

This week, I preached a message about Christain living - you can't lie on Monday and expect the Lord to bless on Wednesday and you can't steel on Tuesday and ask the Lord's blessing on Friday. The message brought silentness and some tears to the eyes. Please continue to pray for these wonderful people that the Lord has given to us to work with and to give the Gospel.

Also today, I ran into Mireck, a man that we worked with when we first moved to Brno. We were discipling him unto we reached some areas of life that he was not willing to change. I invited him to attend services again.
