I don’t write on my personal blog very often anymore, but I’ve just added some reflections on art and the church and would appreciate it if you’d surf over there to read them.
Thanks and many blessings, Mitch

Art and the Church
Friday, July 20th, 2007let us bow
Monday, July 2nd, 2007For those of you who kneel in prayer on our behalf: Thank You!
Please keep these in thought and word:
Praise God!…
Praise God for times of work and times of rest! Praise God for helping us achieve goals, for personal success, and for hard-earned accomplishments! Praise God for quiet repose, for periods of reflection, and for our understanding that He gives aid to the weary!
Pray for…
Summer opportunities - The summer break provides a chance for time spent with family and friends, as well as moments for exploring the city and potential ministry avenues. Our schedules are quickly filling but we couldn’t be happier to have so many great people to see and things to do!
Pray for the Czech Republic and Olomouc…
New Christian in Brno - Praise God for a new Christian sister in our sister church in nearby Brno! We are happy for her commitment to the Lord and for those whom God used in the church to help bring her to Him. May others follow in her example!
Health for a good friend - A close friend and member of the church in the Czech Republic seeks answers to health concerns and appropriate treatment from doctors. Pray for God’s comfort and care, and for His guidance in determining a plan of action.
Expecting parents - Matus and Melissa- close friends and members of the church in Prague- are expecting the birth of their first child in November. Pray for the health of their baby and for their adjustment to life as parents.
Pray for our teammates…
“Baby on board†- Corey and Sarah Keen are also excited to announce their pregnancy, and they welcome prayers for the healthy growth and birth of their first child. Sarah- 16 weeks pregnant- is doing quite well, and the couple and team are very excited about the future new addition.
Continued language study - Although now a few weeks into our summer break from language school, our team strives to continue to foster the learning process on our own. We need prayers concerning our focus and study during the next two months until we return for lessons.
Pray for Joshua and Sarah…
Sarah’s health - During the past month, Sarah has shown signs of improved health from her battle with hives and a blood infection. Test results no longer indicate an infection presence, however the hives continue daily (but to a lesser degree than before). Pray for patience on our part and increased wellness for Sarah.
Our relationships with neighbors - God has blessed us recently with several wonderful opportunities to speak with and get to know better our neighbors. Pray for a blessing upon a newly married couple living nearby and upon their family who also inhabit our apartment building.
God bless you all!
