Czech: Strakonice Continued (Part 4)

The days have been great here in Strakonice, CZ. We've been connecting with students from the youth group here through activities that we plan but also through different events the students themselves host (movie night). Yesterday afternoon we had an awesome time hanging out with students while playing different sports and games. We played some ultimate frisbee, basketball, and the game of signs. While it was fun to be with the students from the youth group, it was even more awesome to hang out with a guy that we met while playing the games. He saw us playing signs and asked if he could join in. Well, he wasn't too weirded out and accepted our invitation to come to dinner with us that night. Through conversing with him, we found out that he had been looking for people that he could talk to about different current events, issues, and even some philosophical and religious ideas. We are hoping that he continues to seek out a few of the local students to talk to about such things and hopefully through them, see the love of Christ. This is what I am here for. This is the purpose of it all. To seek out students, build up connections with them, and share with them the love that is found in Christ. Everyone is hurting in someway, yet the glory of it all is found in God's redemption through Christ's death and subsequent resurrection.
