Berea College, Prague

If you have been reading this blog you will know that one of the aims of the ICP Study Centre is to run a year-long residential course and that we are searching for properties at the moment.  That search continues, but this blog entry is just to let you know that there is a small website I have just put up which gives a few more details of the project - including how to give.  It can be found here: Berea.  I am also working on a leaflet, which I hope will be printed and ready for distribution after we return from holiday in a couple of weeks.
If you know of people who might be willing to contribute to the purchase of property, please do point them in our direction!

The Summer... so far!

If you have been following this blog, you will know that a group from ICP went to China for a couple of weeks to work with the children of migrant workers in beijing.  If you haven't followed their exploits or seen the pictures, access to their blog is in the side bar on this page under the title "ICP English Camp".  Simon's brother, Trevor, and his family were some of those who went.  They returned safely - tired and jet-lagged after a 30 hour trip - yesterday afternoon.  That means that we can move back to our flat in town as we have been house - and dog - sitting while they have been away.  During that time, Dorit's brother, Heðin, and his family visited.  they had been on holiday in Italy and were on their way to Germany for Teenstreet - a young people's week of mission etc. organised by OM.  Details can be found here.  Dorit's sister, Guðrun, with her family were also at TeenStreet and they arrive, God willing, for a visit today.

We plan to go to Denmark on August 15th for a holiday, being joined by Stephen and Sarah Sowden and their boys.  So we are looking forward to that.  Until then, Simon is still working on various aspects of the Study Centre; the most important - or at least urgent - one at the moment is the question of property.  Please do continue to pray with us about this.  He is also putting together our latest prayer letter, so that should be coming out by the end of this week.  Otherwise, he has been doing most of the preaching over the past couple of months while John Waldrop is in the US.  He has been going through some of the themes in 1 John.  If you want to download or listen to the sermons they can be found here.
In October, we will, God willing, be coming back to the UK.  We will be speaking at the three DUMO rallies and one or two other places, as well as at the Echoes Day on October 23rd.  If you know of any church or fellowship that would like to invite us to share something of what we are doing in Prague, please do email us, our address can be found on our website.
