Missions Trip

This time next week I will be in the Czech Republic starting a week long missions trip. Cliff Jennings, Jim Campbell, Christian Walker and myself will be leading and training other ministry leaders in that part of the world. I always feel overwhelmed when given the opportunity to do this kind of trip. We'll be taking a little bit of the Creek to The Czech Republic and Poland. They are so hungry to learn how to effectively win the lost in there communities. Here is a portion of an article I read to give you a better idea of the spiritual climate there.

Communism and Atheism though have been a potent combination in enslaving the minds of Czech people. A regime that preached “THERE IS NO GOD” and persecuted Christians relentlessly has fostered in an already proud and independent people the notion that they need only rely on themselves. That there’s definitely nothing else “up there”. That religion is for other, weaker, people. In much of the western world, many people are professing Christians (say that they are Christians), but practically speaking live their lives as if there is no God. Around 45% of Czechs, on the other hand, are professing atheists. This presents quite different challenges in evangelism..

Here are a few things you can do to partner with us. 1.Pray Pray Pray! Please be praying for us over the next few weeks. I believe God is going to use our efforts in amazing ways. 2. Come to the Creek tonight for a special worship night and bring an offering. This offering will go towards missions to ensure trips like this can continue. You might not be able to go with us but you can still be a huge part. Thanks for your support. Hope to see you tonight.

Two observations:
1) If you quote something, please give its' source.
2) What are the details of your travel itinerary?
