We are excited to be sending a mission team to Europe this summer. We had hoped to have two teams going but the trip to Sumperk didn’t work out for this year. We hope that maybe next year it can.
This year’s team is going in late July to Hurbanovo Slovakia to work with Pastor Darko Kraljik and the congregation of Hurbanovo Baptist Church in running an English teaching camp for about 50 children between 6 and 15 years old. The schedule will include a combined ESL VBS each morning, games and sports in the afternoon and a program each evening at a Christian youth club.
We ask you to please support the mission team with your prayers (see accompanying detailed prayer requests)
Don’t forget to put “Summer 2016 Mission Team” on the memo line. Alternatively, to support an individual team member please send your donation to them (once again payable to The Czechoslovak Baptist Convention). Upon receipt they will forward your gift to the Convention.
