Last week EB and I, along with Quentin, traveled to a campus in Ostrava, Czech, to speak to a student group there about the reliability of the New Testament Scriptures. The name of this Czech-led evangelical ministry is KVZ {www.kvz.cz}, a ministry with close ties to Campus Crusade for Christ. We have ministered with this group several times over the past few years and have grown to love their staff and students. KVZ has done a great job witnessing for Christ in this spiritually dark country.
EB is pictured here (2nd from the left) with a group of students involved with KVZ in Ostrava. The two girls in dark shirts in the middle were just recently baptized as new believers in a local evangelical church!
Martin, on the right, is one of the KVZ staff members. He has a doctorate in microbiology yet heard the Lord's call into ministry. Here he is witnessing to a student after my talk from Josh McDowell's Czech translation of "More than a Carpentar." This particular student is from Bulgaria, studying in Czech, talked with me in Hungarian and is named Vladimir....only in Europe.
Lada and Eva, KVZ staff and our excellent hosts! They fixed a typical and tasty European breakfast for us.
Quentin went with us and found a listening ear in Lada (Lladislaw), our host in Ostrava. Lada didn't know much about baseball and his English isn't perfect either. But that didn't stop Quentin from telling him all about the most recent Braves game.
If you wanted to know what happened to Carl from "Up", I found him on a bus in Ostrava. Pixar sent him there to scout out a location for a sequel ("Down"?).

I believe that policemen are overworked, underpaid and under appreciated. But oh just this once I wish I had a bucket full of water balloons!
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE WORK OF THE GOSPEL IN CZECH! THE LORD HAS NOT ABANDONED THIS ATHEISTIC COUNTRY!
