3 WEEKLY PRAYER SHEET 04/08/2018 Czech Republic Mission Team April 6-15 Rick Early, Darla and Larry Meadors, Alyson Dorr, Anna Mee, and Amy Giffin In addition to the usual summer English camp, a new event has been added this spring: a week of afternoon and evening teen camps held at the church. The focus is to draw the teens to the church to see what it is all about. In the mornings, they will be teaching English classes in the school and talking with students. It will be an intense week of ministry, and our prayers of support are greatly needed. FACTS ABOUT THE CZECH REPUBLIC: The Czech is one of the least religious populations in the world and also the third most atheistic population by percentage, behind China and Japan. Because they have been ruled by neighboring countries, they have just recently been their own country. They have difficulty belonging or being a part of something, such as the Body of Christ or the church. Because they were controlled by other countries and systems, there is a mentality of conforming to the masses. They are finding their own identity to step out and be different. Things are improving. It is a slow thawing out from the frozen state that they have been in. Last December, following President Trumps announcement, the Czech President, Milos Zeman, who is known for his pro-israel views, also announced that the Czech embassy will consider moving their embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognize Jerusalem as Israel s capital. PRAYER POINTS: Pray that the hearts of the Czech people would be prepared by the Spirit of God. Pray for their receptiveness to the Gospel. Pray for the team s strength and perseverance during the morning and evening activities. Pray for safety in traveling and health. We d love to pray for you!
