English Camp Begins

English camp 2026 has begun! We were so excited to welcome 28 kids from the Bystrc community to English camp. Only a few of them come from unbelieving families. Everyday we start with a few icebreaker games. The kids are divided into 4 teams and they will compete each day for points, and even made special flags which represent their team. This year's theme is "Research Institution" under the leadership of Dr. Victor Crazy! Dr. Crazy is not a real person, but serves as a character for this week's camp theme and story.  He did an experiment for us and taught about the body which includes various chromosomes, proteins, and bacterias.  The kids had discussion groups in order for us leaders to get to know the kids better so that as the week progresses we can have more and more gospel conversations. English groups got off to a great start and we believe God will give us opportunities to talk about God and his love for us. This year we want to discuss with the kids the meaning of the fruits of the spirit. We believe God will use this week to grow the seeds that have been planted in previous years and to plant new seeds. Please pray for the kids to trust us and open up to us so that we can tell them about Jesus. Please pray that the physical activities of the games will not cause injury, and that God would give us great weather throughout the week. 

To end a wonderful first day of camp, we traveled to the Brno city center to see some of the sites that make Brno such a beautiful place. We saw Špilberk castle, Vegetable square, and Freedom square. God has given us a wonderful team to work with - First Baptist Church in Plant City, Florida, and amazing Czech brothers and sisters. 

We even got to go up into the Old Town Hall tower to see a beautiful sunset skyline. Pictured in the background is Špilberk Castle.
