Thanksgiving

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psalm 26:7

On Sunday, we had 3 first time visitors with a total of 20 for Sunday school, church service and for our Thanksgiving dinner. We had such a wonderful day! Praise the Lord for His grace, His provision and the working of His spirit in the hearts of the Czech people.

Please pray for Josef Toma, who is now home after cancer surgery and for Alan Wood, who is still in the hospital after having a section of his lung removed. Alan was moved from intensive care into his own room, so Jeff was able to visit him on Frday. Alan told Jeff that this made him think of his eternity. We have been witnessing to Alan and his wife, Hana for many years.

We are also very grateful for another supporting church that voted to take us on this week. What a blessing, our cup is overflowing with the LORD'S GOODNESS.

The House of the Lord

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Psalm 122:1

We had a great day on Sunday. Our attendance has been around 14 - 15 people. Our living room is getting quite full. Be in prayer as we seek the Lord's wisdom for space to rent in Brno. We asked again this Sunday for everyone to keep their eyes open to where the Lord would have us.

The boys are enjoying English Sunday school. We have been teaching character qualities and what the Bible has to say about them. Czech Sunday school is always a great time with music, scripture memory and Bible lessons. On Sunday, we looked into the Israelites' victory over Jericho. The life of Paul was taught in our Czech service in the morning and also in our English service that evening.

Please continue to pray as the Lord opens many opportunities for us to share the gospel with our English students during their lessons.

Visitors

Last week we were blessed by Svetlana, a first time visitor, but this week the blessing just got better when Svetlana returned and brought a friend with her. Amen and Amen. Please pray they will listen carefully to the message of salvation. As the holiday season begins here, pray that we will have the wisdom needed to get the Czechs' attention on the Lord Jesus Christ - the true meaning of Christmas.

Faithfulness in prayer

Thank you for your prayers for the Czech people. Betty was able to stay in the nursery again this week. This is truely a blessing and answer to prayer. Pray for salvation for those attending faithfully but have not trusted. They have heard the message of salvation many times and in many ways - time to act.

Another blessing and answer to prayer: The start of a children's library. Thanks to an offering from some young people in one of our faithful supporting churches, we were able to purchase books. The books arrived this week. Now for a book shelf.

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.
