We have some wonderful friends who serve faithfully in the Czech Republic. They have laboured there for quite some years now (12+yrs). We were priviledged to spend a couple of years working alongside them in 2002-2004. They are true servants of the Lord and have such serving, generous hearts... we are just so blessed to have spent some time with them...
Missionary life is tough... really tough... In recent days we recieved wonderful news that a neighbour of theirs came to the Lord. David and I know this young man well - he attended the English classes that David helped to teach. Before we left the Czech Republic (Owen needed heart surgery) we arranged to meet up with this man at a cafe. David challenged him to really seek Christ ... something our Czech missionary friends had also been challenging him to do for some time... What a shock/surprise/joy to hear that after all these years (and countless Bible studies with our missionary friends) the Lord has finally broken through the barriers in his heart. We have spoken to him on the phone. What a transformation!
It seems there has been a spiritual battle going on...
Another young man - professing Christ 5 years ago has recently made it clear recently that he is seriously considering abandoning his faith...
Sometimes we just throw up our hands and cry "Lord I just don't understand, ...but please save this young soul!" We have prayed, along with many others that these dear friends of ours would be encouraged, that Czech's would come to know Christ - that the Word of the Lord would do its work...
Lord, these beautiful servants have laboured faithfully, sacrificially...
Please encourage your own...
Please save.
Won't you pray with us that the Lord would transform this second young man ?
He has agreed to meet tomorrow with our missionary friend who is planning to plead for his soul...
The Lord hears the prayers of His people!
