Ministering in:  Letovice, Czech Republic
Organization: ELIM – a youth ministry in Czech
Ministry Focus:  Afterschool Youth Programs for students in elementary – high school, teaching English to students and adults, partnership in youth ministry and Sunday School
Why Czech Republic?:  Czech is one of the most atheistic countries in the world (only 0.5% evangelical Christians according to SEND International).  This is mainly due to the influence of communism in the past, so young adults are frequently caught in a position of experiencing a lack of hope.
Length of Mission:  At least one year, current visa is through June 2017

I frequently go back and forth in thinking it is completely surreal and completely normal to be actually living in Letovice and doing the passion God has given me to reach this community each day.  It has been fun to watch as friendships have grown these past couple months and to think about all the ways I see God continually moving through this city.   Kendra

Prayer: Pray that the students and families would be receptive to the good news of Christ’s love and gift of salvation.

 

Our J.A.M. Students and their families raised $405 to purchase 57 Bibles for Voice of the Martyrs’ Bibles for Every Believer project. VoiceoftheMartyrs

 

Last year’s 8th Grade Confirmation students assembled 10 parachute kits for the Voice of the Martyrs Columbia Parachute Program. They assembled parachutes that will contain a Bible and literature and dropped over dangerous areas of Colombia, where guerillas discover and read these Bibles.

This year’s 8th Grade Confirmation Students are supporting Jean Wilerme Jacques through Compassion International.  Jean is a 13 year old boy living in Haiti. Compassion

 

 

We also support Fountain of Christ Ministries’ work in Haiti…
