May the Lord
encourage all of us with these words from the psalmist and may they be an
expression of our hearts as well:
“I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.”
~Psalm 34:1-4
Thank
you so much for standing with us in this wonderful endeavor to seek to
share the love of Christ with our friends here in the Czech Republic.

lead her to the calling of His choice, and that He would give her His peace as
