Safely Home

Dear Friends,

The last day of camp was not quite what we pictured.
We were told at breakfast that they needed to clean
most of the rooms we had been using as classrooms. We
had 6 classes that needed to meet, and only one room
available. We flexed and met where we could, and God
was at work. We had planned to use the English
Reading time to read scriptures that explained how
God's plan for our salvation. In spite of the change
in venue, we were able to clearly present the gospel
to the students. After lunch, we said our good-byes.

Thank you for your faithful prayers. Eight of us made
it safely home on Monday night, and the two who
remained to sight-see for a day should be home by
Tuesday night. Although we did face some challenges,
we know that your prayers did have an impact. Bronek
and Lorisa, who live in the Czech Republic and have
organized camps for over 7 years, agree that they saw
many more move closer to Christ than in previous
years. Some indicated they made a decision, and many
more said they would be interested in being part of a
small group Bible study. Bronek and Lorisa, along
with Cindy, will be helping to make arrangements for
the various groups.

Please continue to pray for Cindy. She has already
"run into" one of our students who was out shopping in
her village. Because of the camp, she has made many
contacts in the Trinec area. Pray for wisdom as she
works on building on these relationships.

Pray, too, for the rest of us as we transition back
into our lives here in the states. We look forward to
telling you all about our trip in the weeks ahead.

James
