Summer Ministry Update

We recently returned from ministering in the Czech Republic and France along with Satia’s parents, Galen & Janet Nation.  We met face-to-face with pastors and church leaders in central and southern Czechia and a pastor in France. The word the Lord spoke to our hearts was from Acts 15:41, where Paul and Silas “went through Syria and Cilicia strengthening the churches” (NKJV). We encouraged and strengthened pastors, leaders, and churches in these secular and atheistic nations. We sensed a strong emphasis from the Lord to focus our ministry on building stronger marriages and families, which we did.

A Changed Life

We recently received a testimony from a pastor of a lady in Teplice, Czechia, who received one of our 360 Life evangelistic flyers from someone just as she got on the bus. As she sat and read it, she said the Gospel message suddenly made sense. She contacted the church for prayer and gave her life to Christ. This is just one example of why we do what we do. Thank you for partnering with us to reach people.

Strengthening & Encouraging Czech Believers

     We were able to travel to the Czech Republic in August when they suddenly opened up to US travelers. We felt that it was important to meet face-to-face with a number of pastors, as many had been through a challenging year. We had some powerful church meetings and anointed one-on-one meetings with numerous pastors and leaders around the country.

Czech Trip – March 2020

Meeting with Czech Pastors/leaders and friends.

We wanted to quickly update you that we safely made it back from Czech Republic this last week. We left two weeks ago and had been monitoring the Coronavirus situation in Czechia before we left, and everything appeared calm and under control with no bans on European travel. Suddenly, when we arrived, Czechia declared a ‘State of Emergency,’ with daily, rolling changes. By God’s grace, we were always a day ahead of changes: having meetings, traveling around the country, etc. before it was banned. Finally, foreigners were ordered to leave, and we were able to get out on one of the last flights to London that week.

We were in peace the whole time thanks to God’s grace and your prayers. We felt like it was a “God moment” to slip in and minister to key leaders dealing with church issues before borders closed. Our Czech ministry websites continue to evangelize and teach throughout this unprecedented crisis. We are continuing to update and add website content right now to strategically minister to Czech people.

We appreciate your prayers and support in this time. Together, we are making a difference!

Czech Pastors Meeting 2019

We had a great time connecting with Czech pastors and leaders from across the country. The Holy Spirit ministered to each person in a powerful way. We are so thankful for each of these faithful servants of the Lord.

Faithful Pastors

Pastor Dan & Dasa are one couple that we have had the privilege to work with for the last 20 years. The first Bible school we held outside the city of Prague was with Pastor Dan & Dasa in Pribram; there are many Czechs serving in ministry today that attended that early Bible school. Since then, they have planted numerous churches and trained up younger pastors to take their place. They continue to do Bible schools in various regions around Czech Republic to this day. We had the privilege to minister in their church after our Pastors meeting.

Pastors Refreshed

Czech Pastors Meeting 2018
We want to express our sincere thanks to those of you who prayed and supported our recent Czech pastor’s meeting in Tabor, Czech Republic. It was a precious time of refreshing and ministry to those on the “frontlines.”

Czech Pastors Meeting- Oct. 2017

 

 

 

 

 

 

This October, we hosted Czech pastors and their wives for a time of refreshing at our annual

Pastors meeting. Many of these pastors are pioneers in church planting, having planted their own

and often several other churches: all in a predominantly atheistic nation.

It was an honor to spend time with these Czech pastors and leaders in Tabor, Czech Republic. They came from all over the country for a time of ministry and refreshing. Many of them have planted and pioneered churches in numerous cities and villages. Truly precious people.

We were also honored to have Pastor Tom & Sharon Arnould from Good News Church, Yukon, OK along to minister and share.
