Amazing Life 2010

For the first time in it's history the church in Letovice was able to hold an independant English Camp. Before the camp out team arrived in letovice for 3 days of training where we met with the Letovice team from the youth group. the two teams clicked together from the beginning. We began with focusing on different aspects of englsih camp and making sure we were all on the same page with evening programs. The title for the camp was Amazing Life which went into detial highlighting the most amazing life in history- Jesus. This year was far easier in terms of tramslators as well having 3 of our best translators back who were not there the year befor.

God worked two miracles before camp even got started with Josh Anderson who was not able to join the team at the airport due to severe sickness was able to come later in the week with no extra charge, which was a direct answer to prayer. In addition to that our main technical person and guitar player on the Czech team, Nick- the youth leader's(Pavlik) brother, had been denied for the time off from work when asking earlier and apprached his boss one more time before camp and God also moved in that situation in to allow him to come to go to camp.

From Letovice we left with the students and went to camp riding all on the same bus. Some of he students had to ride by car becuase all in all we had 95 people at the camp with around half not knowing Christ personally. I spent a lot of time with one person from the Czech team named Ondrig who was next to me in my cabin and also was in my english class.



As for now I have to go from pavel's house but i will give more extensive updates from camp. Please pray for our team to have integrety and take this time durig follow up to reach out to the students more. Pray for Kendra Havlickeck with her soar sholder and that we all have energy becuase everyone missed out on some sleep last night because it was the last night of camp without a curfew. I will update again soon with great stories from camp. Also add some pictures, thanks fro your prayers!

2010 Czech Retreat!

This past weekend we had our 2010 Czech team Retreat! it was a great time for everyone to spend a few days getting to know each other better as a team. We started the first night by working on English class things and getting everyone squared away as much as we can so that we can have the absolute best quality English lessons possible.
This year I have a level 6 class and will be teaching my own class. My helper/partner Laura and I have been working to make our class the most exciting and, well quality comes with experience. I'm confident once we get everyone comfortable they will be talking and learning like we're all old friends. This year's theme is 'Amazing Life' in which we will be teaching on the most amazing life ever, Jesus. I'm excited for that idea, I think for the message of Christ Crucified for the sins of the world to be sent, we need to start with Jesus. The fundamental doctrine of true theology along with being our savior, our heal, our redeemer and our coming king (C&MA 4 fold gospel).
We spent a lot of time doing activities that will bring us together and help us to understand our roles on the team. My sophomore year at Crown I took Gospel of John and was responsible, along with a team, to exegeses John 17 and present it to the class. Chris Gee used this same scripture to call us to unity as Christ prayed for us to have in this passage. The structure in this chapter is amazing as Jesus first prays for himself saying that he has completed everything the father has requested and the time of his glorification has come. In the large center Jesus prays for the disciples that they knowing the gospel of Jesus will be protected by the name of Jesus and are no longer people of the world but are now God's people. Next is the powerful prayer that that is so humbling by Jesus saying that the disciples would be anointed and be the same as Jesus into the world, they would be into the world.
Next is where Jesus Prays for unity and this was the point that Christopher made in our meeting nad I did to the class that Jesus is praying that we all would be "one with one another, just as you are in me," verse 21a says. At the end of the verse it says, "that the world may know that you sent me." then again it is reiterated in the next verse in Jesus praying that they may be brought to complete unity so that God is glorified and that the world will know. Then in this last section of Jesus' last prayer, he prays that all believers will have the love of the father in them, the love that God has for Jesus.
This love reminds me of 1 John 3:16 :This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers,"in correlation for John 3:16 ""For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This passage brings it all together and assures us of are purpose.
Pray for unity for our team and that our focus will be on Christ.
