During the ministry in the Upper Square today, Jason Hales, a member of the Hejcin crew, had an exciting experience he was eager to share.
Jason said, “I was giving out books and stuff as much as I [could], and I had the thought, ‘maybe I should stand here and let God bring me someone.’ So I did.”

Thank you so much for your prayers for better weather. The Lord answered and today crews had great opportunities to speak with people and were excited by their responsiveness.
- Please continue to pray that weather remains clear, so that Czechs will be out in the areas where IWCers are ministering.
- Pray that crew members will remain energized and open to whatever the Holy Spirit leads them to say or do.
- Please pray, too, that the IWCers will be burdened with a heart for the nations through this trip that will not fade.

They have asked for participation from Czechs and received various responses from people, but most exciting so far has been the response which turned into the opportunity to get to know James.
