We spent part of May and June traveling throughout the Czech Republic, ministering in churches and meeting with pastors and leaders. It was important to connect with these leaders, encourage them, and minister to their congregations as well. This time allows us to see these leaders in their local environments, giving us a better sense of what is happening in their communities and ministries. These are precious friends and quality ministers that we have known for many years.
In addition to preaching, we were able to complete several important legal and ministry-related projects that required face-to-face meetings—another answer to prayer. Some of these projects were related to the book translation work we are currently undertaking.

This October, we were once again honored to host Czech pastors, leaders, and their wives for our annual Pastors’ Conference in the historic city of Tábor. Since 2013, this gathering has provided a vital time of rest, encouragement, and spiritual renewal for pastors serving in one of the most secular nations in Europe, where nearly 79% of the population identifies as atheist. Despite the challenges, these leaders are making a remarkable impact. Many are pioneers in church planting, having established their own churches—and often multiple others—in various cities.
Thank you for your prayers and support that make this possible.

We were in the Czech Republic ministering in the month of May. It was a really precious time to connect with many precious friends and fellow ministers. The Lord gave us several key assignments that we were to focus on during our time there, and we were able to accomplish those things. We also visited some new churches that we had not been to in the past. The Lord is doing great things in the Czech Republic. We are excited to see people coming to know Jesus and being discipled. (See a few photos of various people and places.)

Since 1996, we have found that the Lord has directed our steps in ministry in what we call “divine connections.” We have seen these relationships that the Lord divinely orchestrates at the right time and place for the right purpose. We accomplish more and go further together!
One such “divine connection” has been our friends and pastors at our annual pastor’s meetings. Since 2013, we have been hosting pastors for a time of refreshing and encouragement. These ministers are on the “frontlines” in a secular, post-Christian nation that boasts a population of 79% atheist. But that is changing, thanks to their passion and faithfulness!
The presence of the Lord was there to minister to each pastor and couple in a powerful, tangible way this October. We took one whole afternoon to minister one-on-one to every leader. It was very powerful! All of us left encouraged and strengthened in the Lord.

We want to thank you for your prayers and financial support. We recently returned from a month in the Czech Republic. This was a more extended trip which allowed us to travel around to various cities and churches throughout the Czech Republic. We feel part of our role is to encourage the pastors and leaders the Lord has connected us with (a few pictured above). It was a full month of preaching, teaching, and meeting with friends and co-workers almost daily, but it was very rewarding.

We had an awesome time connecting with Czech pastors and leaders in Tabor-Chotoviny area of southern Czech Republic in October. We celebrated 11 years of doing these meetings this year. The presence of the Lord was there to minister to each pastor and couple in a powerful, tangible way. Special thanks to Pastor Tom & Sharon Arnould, who joined us along with their two sons.

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.
