Giving Thanks

Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wonderous works declare. Psalm 75: 1

Thanks to God for another Sunday to worship Him with other belivers. This week the Lord has given us many opportunities to meet the spiritual and physical needs of those around us.

Our Parenting classes are going well and the Lord is using His word to make changes in the hearts of those attending. Thanks to God for His unchanging Word.

The Lord has also opened up some new outreach opportunities for this fall and He has already provided the funds needed thanks to another church taking us on for support this week. Thanks to God for His provision and faithful servents.

Czech services

Praise the Lord for an encourageing Sunday. Please continue for the salavtion of those mentioned in our prayer letter.

Thanks to a generous offering we received for literature we were able to purchase more tracts and booklets. Serveral of these tracts are new to us, others we have used before. We will begin another literature campain this fall. Please pray as we seek the Lord's direction in this area of ministry.

Czech Services

Many who regularly attend our services were away on holiday. As summer comes to an end, we pray that our people will once again become more faithful to the house of the Lord. Our low attendance did give us opportunity to answer Alena's questions and to hear from her how the Lord is working on her heart. Pray for Alena. we are asking the Lord to remove her hesitations in getting baptized. We have others with the same need.

We were so encouraged in our English service this past Sunday evening. We had Bro. Norton and his family stop to visit on their way to the other side of the country. All the voices singing praises to God were up lifting and joyful. It is usually just our family in our English services. From time to time we do have visitors in which we are very gratful.

Celebrations

On Saturday, my family had a surprise party for my 50th birthday. 34 people were in attendance to celebrate with me. Please pray as we continue to reach these people with the words of the Lord and their need for salvation. We have witnessed to them many times but only a few have accepted the Lord as their savor, others believe they are find were they are and than there are those that still do not believe in God.

Sunday was a very nice day. I am continuing to preach lessons from Matthew 5 and 6. After services we had an Ice Cream Social. We enjoyed the ice cream despite the cool and rainy weather. Debra and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary with friends and family.

Our parenting classes are going well. We already see changes in our faithful family.

Joyful Joyful

It was a joy last week to have Alena's grandchildren in Sunday school and church services. Zusanna sat very quiet in services while Mirek was an added joy to the nursery.

This week we had several out sick. Please pray for Milada and Alena, They both had to see the doctor for medicine. Micky is at camp for two weeks and Mireck still has a Sunday work schedule.

We had a great meeting with Mirek and Milada on Friday night. Pray as Jeff teaches Mirek on baptism and continue to pray for Milada's salvation. Her comments were it just sounds too easy.

Sweet spirit

Our attendance was low on Sunday, a challenge we face during the summer months, but the spirit in the service was wonderful. The Lord is working on hearts and changing lives.

Tomorrow night is the first meeting for our child training lessons. Please be in prayer for the teacher and those who will be coming.

Sunday's service

A great service was the message that made its way back to us. Thanks to the Reaves family for filling in for us while we were away.

We took a few days with just our family to get away. Spent time with the Lord in prayer, seeking direction, preparing for our first Parent/Child Training classes, studying God's Word, reading a few good books, lots of exercise, quality family time and some much needed rest. Thanks

We thank each of you for your prayers, encouragment and support.
