End of the Week

Dear Friends,

The end of the week and the end of the camp is near.
We will have a lot to talk about when we get back
home. We will have a lot of stories of how we saw God
at work in our own lives and in the lives of our
students.

Last night we showed the short film, ¨Most.¨ It is an
allegorical story of how God was willing to allow his
only son to die for our sins. It was very powerful.
Many of the students are still talking about it. For
some, it was disturbing. One of my students said it
was ¨cruel.¨ Others said it made them think. Please
pray for wisdom for us as we continue to discuss this
film with our students. Pray, too, as we explain the
Gospel in our Bible Reading classes tomorrow morning.
I have had many good questions in my class. Some are
believers, but others do not believe the Bible is
true. Please pray that we will finish well and take
advantage of every opportunity.

Pray, too, for our health. One member of our team is
fighting an infection. Fortunately, God had another
member of the team who had just the medicine that was
needed. Otherwise, we have not had any health
problems this week.

Pastor Marek of the Church in Trinec told me yesterday
that they have made arrangements to rent space at the
Cultural Center for the next few months. So they now
have a place to meet. This will be a trial period,
and hopefully they will be able to extend the
agreement. They are also meeting this week with the
owner of a building they would like to buy. Pray for
favor that the owner will be interested in selling to
them and that he will give them the time they need to
raise the 3,000,000 Krowns it will cost.

Finally, pray for our time tomorrow. We will go meet
at a restaurant and bowling alley with some people who
came to camp in previous years but could not come this
year. We hope to build on the relationships that have
already begun. Pray that we can discuss things that
matter for eternity.

James
