English Camp Begins - Monday
This week we have the opportunity to build relationships with 36 children, who have come to English camp, the most we have ever had. The theme of this year's Challenge Camp is about traveling to the Olympics. I have included more pictures of today on my Facebook page. To summarize the kids are divided into 4 teams, each team representing a country. These 4 teams will compete through out the week to earn points for their team.
Today they earned a flight ticket on Runway Airlines to fly to the Olympics with their team. However, on the way to Paris, they experienced a plane crash and became stranded on a remote island. What will do now? Throughout the week they are going to go through many challenges to get off the island and finally arrive at the Olympics.
This afternoon Marek (One of the Czech leaders) shared his testimony of various challenges he has faced in his life. He spoke of a time when he was searching for answers to all of life's questions. He asked the kids, if they ever have faced great challenges or have questions about what happens to them when they die?
Each day we want to get closer and closer to helping the kids understand the One, who can help them in their challenges and the One, who can answer all of their life's questions and most of all redeem them from their sin. His name is Jesus. We will share the gospel with the kids and help them understand the love that Jesus has shown to them. Pray for us to have wisdom and the right words. Pray for the kids to be open and listen as God plants gospel seeds in their heart. Many of these kids have returned year after year to camp. Pray for the seeds that have been planted to grow and bear fruit.

Finally, tonight we had the opportunity to explore downtown Brno. We got to see the main castle, which is the small fortress in the background of this picture. The sun was going down as we stood in the old town hall tower overlooking the city. As I stood there, I began to think about the multitudes of people in the city, who are lost and desperately need to hear the gospel spoken to them. Pray for the churches in Brno to be bold in sharing their faith. Pray for the people in this city to turn to Christ for salvation. God is working here!
