The Czech Republic
Missionaries Luke & Megan Adams serve with Global Partners in the Czech Republic. Last week they posted an update on the work…
Hello Friends, Super exciting news! After a week of Summer English Camp, a girl on my team named Misa made a decision to follow Christ! The decision was probably a couple of years coming. She began participating at camp and other activities we host in Brno during this period. She has met and learned from many of the missionaries on our team. Often, and especially in the Czech Republic, it can take a long time for a person to fully open their heart to Christ. But it is so encouraging to be here when it happens. We rejoice with her in this decision!
Thank you for praying for our Czech pastor here. He is slowing recovering from his near-fatal illness. And this is a powerful testimony for everyone who has met him. It is truly an honour to be part of God’s work in this land. Thank you for your partnership in prayers and giving. We are all enjoying the summer ministry here. Please let us know how we can pray for you too!
God bless you.
– Luke, Megan, Cole, Jensen & Lucy Adams
