The last two summers, I got to travel to the Czech Republic to help lead the team LCBC sends each year. We have been partnering with churches in the Czech to do English Camps for somewhere around 10 years now. These camps create environments for Czech students to bring their friends, have fun at camp together, learn some English, and talk about faith. Since the Czech Velvet Revolution didn't take place & free them from communist dictatorship until my lifetime, the country remains largely foreign to christianity. Many students haven't even had an opportunity to talk about faith, God, etc. at all, so camp becomes a place for them to develop relationships with Christ followers, to see we're not all crazy, and to ask questions together about what the heck all this is about.
This Sunday, Matt & I head out with this year's team, so we're working on getting together last minute details for work coverage while we are away, figuring out what to do with our dogs, how to pay bills, etc, and making sure we are ready for leading a team of 9 highschool students alongside our other two adult leaders.
We created a team blog where we'll be posting a few updates along the way, so check in when you think of us and send up a prayer:

I will pray that your time there would impact others in this life and the next and that God would work in the hearts of those who minister.
