Rain, wind, sleet, or snow...

I had a great - but cold - time traveling to churches in the Indiana South District this weekend. I was at the Blue River Wesleyan Church in the morning and Central Wesleyan in Bloomington for the evening service. I was so excited about how many people came out for the services, even though the weather was "frightful" and some roads were difficult to travel on. It was such a huge blessing to me just to see so many people in church, supporting missions overseas!

During prayer time at the evening service, I, again, just started overflowing with thankfulness to God about how fortunate I am to be able to travel to so many different churches all over the country and see the Body of Christ in action. Every time I share at a church, I am reminded again of how it is not me who is doing anything extra special - I'm just following what God wants me to do. God uses those of us who are called to go and those who are called to pray and those who are called to give financially and He does the work in people's hearts and lives. And, oh, what a privelege it is to just be one part of that!

Pictures from Czech

These were the Majak English Teachers the last semester I taught in Brno. English is a big ministry in the Czech Republic.

Sports are huge ministries areas in Czech!


This is downtown Brno - the city in which I live - just outside the local KFC!

This is downtown Brno again.


Here's the skyline in Prague.


This is one of my favorite castles in the Czech Republic...Castle Perstejn!
