Wednesday - Special Trip

On Wednesday the four teams took a special trip. They had to make a spaceship out of duck tape and plastic pipe and put their whole team inside this space so that could walk together. This spaceship would "transfer" them to a remote location in space called Planet Orbanis. Through various tasks on this journey they arrived and found a special antidote that they must bring back in the hope that this antidote will be the solution to the dangerous bacteria that was dispersed by Dr. Victor Crazy!!

While I (Stephen) was sitting in the woods waiting for teams to come complete the specific tasks we had prepared for them, I began to look at the trails in the woods. The top picture on the right shows a wide trail. And the other picture below on the left shows a much more narrow trail.  I began to think about the verse in Matthew 7:13-14. Jesus said, "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.  For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."  

I am reminded every time I come to Czech Republic that there are so few who have chosen the narrow way and so many who choose the wide way. While there have been many gospel seeds that have been planted over the years, there is so much more work to be done. This week we have had incredible conversations with some of the kids, especially the teenagers. Many of them are asking very deep thought provoking questions. We can see the fruit and progression that has been made by continuing to bring a team to Czech Republic to do English camp. Pray for these seeds to continue to grow and sprout, and that many would choose the narrow path - that is the way to life in Christ. Pray for walls and barriers to fall down and for eyes to be opened so that belief in God can become clear and desirable. God is working!
