The title of this article / gallery is what we should strive for… right? Working together for the glory and honor of God through His only son, Jesus. In this panoramic photo, you see a small but devoted group of Jesus followers, Roma men and women seeking to help grow the church, three Czech believers who desire to help with the ministry, a few rowdy children who we ultimately had to ask to leave because of their disrespect, and I was behind the camera… an American missionary who is also trying to help the overall effort of building a healthy church in Brno. Please continue to pray for the mission church which meets at Armada Spasy in the Roma community of Brno. Honestly, we have seen many struggles and people who seem to want the church to fail but with the help of God and cooperation between all of us… Roma, Czech and American… we sincerely desire to see God grow and strengthen this church so it will be a bright shining light for Jesus in Brno… amen.
