We believe that God listens to prayer, and we ask that you fervently pray for us and for the people of the Czech Republic. Here are some of our requests...

•	Please remember Christie and her family in your prayers. Her father was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer and has begun chemotherapy. Christie will return to the U.S. for a couple of weeks in May to spend time with her family. Please pray for her safety while traveling.
•	We praise God for the many opportunities we have had recently to advertise in local schools for our two upcoming Summer English camps. We have also already received applications for both camps. Please pray this continues. We are greatly anticipating these camps coming up in July.
•	We are looking forward to working with a college intern, Melinda, and three different church mission groups this summer. Please pray for all of the plans we are making together and for God's guidance and blessing over all of it. Please pray for safe travels for all of these visitors who will come throughout the summer.
•	That many will come to know God in the upcoming months and years and that a church-planting movement will be sparked in this place.
•	That God will bless the many new relationships he has already brought our way in our short time here in Olomouc.

The Czech People
•	Please pray that God will open the hearts of the Czech people to his good news and amazing love.
•	Pray God's blessings up the Christians, churches, and missionaries already in the Czech Republic—that every believer and every church will be strengthened and will grow up into the image of the head, Jesus Christ.
Our Families
•	Pray that God will bless our families in the States for their willingness to send their loved ones overseas to spread the good news.
•	Pray that God will bless each of us on the team with the faith, health, endurance, patience, support, and everything else we need for serving him in Olomouc.
•	Pray that we will exemplify the Christian lifestlye in our various roles—as single men and women, married men and women, and parents.
Our (Ongoing) Preparation
•	Please pray that we will grow and mature as individuals and as a team.
•	Pray that we will be continually blessed with enough funding to serve God and the Czech people he loves so dearly—and that worries about finances will never distract us from giving total attention to the work in Olomouc.
•	Pray that God will enable us to learn the Czech language and identify with the Czech culture.
Our Mission
•	Pray that God will lead us every step of the way and that we will trust and follow his leading.
•	Pray that our work will be fruitful, that many lives will be tranformed as they are introduced to life in relationship with God.
•	Pray that God will guide us to spiritual seekers who will come to Christ, grow to maturity, lead the church, and plant more churches.
