JERRY & MELISSA’S CZ ECH MISSIONS TRIP NextStepintheJourney Jerry & Melissa’s Czech Missions Trip PARTNER WITH US ON OUR ADVENTURE TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC SUMMER 2012 Dear Friends and Family, We are so excited about the amazing things God has been showing us since we returned from our three-week trip to the Czech Republic last summer. Throughout our time there, we had the opportunity to see how we would lead and minister together as a couple—and this ignited a passion in our hearts to pursue serving the Czech youth as full-time missionaries. This summer is our next step in the journey! We have been invited by the mission board Josiah Venture to lead a team of summer interns, help lead and facilitate three English Camps throughout the country, as well as spend time with Czech youth groups and visit local schools. English Camps are a great evangelistic tool for reaching Czech students. It will be our privilege to spend time with 60 Czech students, teach them English, build relationships, and share the Gospel. We will also assist in training Czech youth leaders and empower them to impact their local communities with the Word of God. We will be in the Czech Republic May 22 through August 17. June: We will be training and preparing for English camps, building team community, and meeting the Czech groups we will work alongside. July: This marks the beginning of the three camp terms. Each term lasts about two weeks and includes training, one week of camp, and follow-up with students. After prayerfully seeking God’s will for our lives, we are excited to follow Him in this opportunity He has provided. We are stepping out in faith and learning to trust in our God who has great plans for our ministry together. Thank you for the prayers and encouragement you have blessed us with over the years —and now as we take this next step of the journey together as a couple!
