Missions weekend

Last weekend we went to the far east of the Czech Republic. We were promoting missions to the world at a church and at a missions exposition (with several other mission agencies including YWAM and Wycliffe Bible Translators). It was encouraging to see the attendance and how many Czechs are interested in world evangelism.

While we were there we stayed with a Christian older couple. It was interesting talking to them about how their church witnessed and evangelised during the Cold War. They told of how they would host children's camps in the mountains, but had to be careful not to be discovered by the secret and state police. As missionaries its quite easy to think that we are bringing the truth to a country that needs it, but sometimes I think we need to learn from the Christians here. They are heroes of the faith who prevailed under persecution.
