Some of our work groups returned to the schools they were in yesterday. Visiting a nearby retirement home was on the agenda for some and the prayer walking group resumed praying over various areas of the city. Still another team went to minister to what the locals call "the undesirables" or what we would call the homeless.
Tonight we had a final meal with Elim Church members. We will also hear about Josiah Venture, a mission to reach young people of Eastern Europe. It has been a very productive and impactful time in the few days we've been here. For some it is very difficult to leave and move on. For now we say goodbye to our new friends and ministry partners in Pisek.
We leave for Prague in the morning. We'll spend the day touring the city and moving into our rooms. We will prepare for the recording scheduled in Dvorak Hall with an orchestra from Prague. Check back tomorrow for more details.

Guys, you say you sing Gospel music, but you ROCKED here in Pisek and Strakonice! I am thankful to God for your service and for my time spent with you!
ReplyDeleteI am sure I am not alone in this prayer that arose from devotions this morning:
ReplyDelete"I have no silver and gold, but I give You what I have (Acts 3:6).
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight oh Lord my Rock and my Redeemer (Psalms 19:14).
May I put to death today that which is earthly in me: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. And may I put on the new nature which is being renewed in knowledge after the Image of my Creator: compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience. May I forgive my fellowman today, Heavenly Father, as You have forgiven me. Above all these things, may I put on Love which binds everything together in perfect harmony. May the peace of Christ rule in my heart. May the Word of Christ dwell in me richly that I am teach and admonish in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in my heart to You, my God. Lord, in all I do, may it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to You, God my Father through Him. (Colossians 3:5-17)
We miss you all but are excited about what God is doing through you and in you during this trip. We pray for you all daily. We've had a ton of rain here. Everything's green and soggy. We have no grandbaby yet-- they are still sticking with the June 10 date. We love you and wish we were with you. Blessings... Dick & Marcia
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying your daily updates and continue our prayers for you all! Praying your time in Prague will be as fruitful as your time was in Pisek!
ReplyDeleteMay the joy of The Lord be your strength!!!
I CANNOT WAIT to hear the recordings when you come home! I'm sure everyone will be awesome with the orchestra.
ReplyDeleteMy boys are loading in tonight for rehearsal to prep for worship on Sunday morning! I wish we were singing with all of you!
I'll check back soon,
nick (+ Jim Shaffer, who is standing over my shoulder :)
