The Czech team arrived back home in Memphis, safe and sound, praising the Lord for their time at Pluska English Camp! In-Life reports that this year, they had the most non-believers attending camp (30+) and they all participated and enjoyed their time. Please pray for fruit in the coming weeks, months, and years as In-Life meets with these individuals to study the Bible and share the Lord. Pray their hearts would be drawn to Him.

We finished our time with our English Students on Friday Evening. Each of our groups performed skits cleverly portraying our teaching abilities - they were both hilarious & tear-jerking! They thanked us & lavished us with thoughtful gifts & we all stayed up very late sharing sweet memories from the week. Many of the students shared their testimonies with us & we pray this has been a time of spiritual growth & encouragement for them. There are still others who are not yet believers & we will continue praying for the Lord to open their eyes to see their deep need for Him.
We waved goodbye to our dear Czech friends this morning & then headed to Prague. Our afternoon was spent touring this beautiful city & enjoying delicious food with a few of the In Life staff. We will attend church with them tomorrow morning & Scott will share his testimony once more.
We will begin our journey home early Monday morning & we look forward to sharing how we have seen the Lord working mightily in the Czech Republic!

Pray for safety and good conversations. (There will be Czech people on both events). Anne is giving her testimony tonight and Scott is giving his tomorrow night.
