Czech Here We Come!!!

The day is coming quickly. In approximately 49 hours, we will be driving up to Sea-Tac Airport to begin our journey over to the Czech Republic. We are excited to see how God is going to work through us and our team to shine His light to the youth in the Czech. We will try to update this blog as much as we can, but we are not sure what our internet situation will look like over there. You can also check out http://czechrepublicshc.blogspot.com, our teammate Caley set up this team blog and it will also be updated with our team adventures while we serve God in the Czech.

A Praise and Prayer Requests:

Praise:

Through your generous gifts, and ceaseless prayers, God has provided all the support needed for us to go over to the Czech Republic. Thank you so much for your prayers and your selfless gifts that are greatly appreciated. May God bless you abundantly.

Prayer Requests:

1) That the works of the Devil and his minions will be thwarted. The Devil has a huge stronghold over in Eastern Europe and he is not giving it up without a fight. Please be praying that the grip he has on the students' hearts will be loosened and that they will open to the Gospel.

2) Please pray for team unity. One of the Devil's greatest tactics is disunity within the body of Christ. Please be praying that when disagreements come up that we will be able to deal with them before they become big and divide us.

3) Pray that we will rely on God for our strength. Only through God and reliance on Him will this trip be successful. Pray that we will not believe the lie of the Devil that says we can does this on our own and without God. Pray that we will find our strength and rest in our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us His power to do His will.

Thank you once again for partnering with us and praying for us and the team while we are serving the Lord in the Czech Republic.

Ephesians 3:14-21:

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
