Hello!
Our biggest news is that we are moving! Our Global Partners Team leaders have decided that we are now ready to assist with the church plant in Podebrady. Podebrady is a town of about 13,000, about 30 minutes east of Prague. The church there is called “Remedy.” It is pastored by Tomas & Misa, a Czech couple who came to know Christ as adults. Podebrady is a bit larger than where we live now. It will allow us to live in the community without always having to commute into Prague for school, groceries, or other supplies. Please pray that the Lord will help us find the right apartment and make this transition along with our children. It will create some extra one-time moving expenses, but we believe the Lord will provide.
Earlier this month we had the privilege of attending a conference called SHARE in Budapest, Hungary. It was a missionary education conference that gave us important information about schooling for our children. During this trip we had the unfortunate experience of losing one of our iPhones. This made the trip a little more challenging, but thankfully we had downloaded all of our photos off from the phone before we made the trip. So we didn’t lose those.
Thank you for your prayers and continuing support. We are honoured to pray for you too.
