On our way!!!!!!


PRAGUE OR BUST!!!

We fly out tonight at 10:00 bound for Prauge! We are so excited about leaving today. The Lord has prepared our hearts for this moment. We realize that this is just the beginning.

Our time of orientation has been an amazing time of preparation, spiritual growth and stretching our minds to wrap around what God has in store for us.

During our time here we all, as a group, took an outreach trip to Washington D.C. We were able to visit with several people from Europe that were there on vacation and pray for our nation as we prayer walked. Our day ended on a high note as we were able to share the Gosple with a young Muslim lady. Unfortunately, we had to cut our conversation short to catch our bus back to Virginia, but she was very curious and wanted to hear more. I've contacted her since, please pray that God keep the door open for she and Carrie to continue visiting via e-mail.

As we fly out tonight we are asking that you please pray for us.

Please pray for the following:

Pray for our families as we move out of the country. We are so blessed to have families who support us, but never the less, this is difficult on all of us!

That we maintain and gain spiritual strength through a daily walk with God. Pray that our prayer and devotional life is the center point of everything we do.

Pray for marriage and family strength as we transition.

Pray for being a bold witness and that the Lord reveal opportunities.

TUESDAY we meet with the principals of the two schools that we're trying to choose between for kids. This is weighing heavily on my mind, please pray for clear guidance from God as to where to place the kids, and for a soft landing and adjustment into their new setting.

Pray for the Czech people that we're going to serve. Pray that the veil blinding them from God's truth be removed and they can clearly see who He is and desire a relationship with Him through our relationships and our witness to them.

Finally, this is a picture of our new home/block. It's labeled "home". Pray that this be a safe, fun and soothing place for us to lay our heads and interact and grow closer to God, as a family.

Also pray for the Czech people who live and work on this block. Pray that the people on this block be influenced and brought closer to God through our witness. Pray that God bring us opportunities to share our faith, and that we don't become so preoccupied with daily life that we miss those opportunities.

We appreciate each one of you so much! Please let us know how we can be praying for you as well!

Abiding in Him,

Clem, Carrie, Hunter and Allie

It will be our joy and great privlege to pray for you too. I can't wait to hear about all of the great and mighty things He is going to do through you!
