23 Days and 450 Dollars...

Oh my goodness.

We leave in 23 days.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cue fanfare* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And we have only $450 left to raise.

Words cannot express how deeply grateful we are to everyone who is funding us, encouraging us, and praying for us. We are honored and we are humbled.

We only have two team meetings left - this Friday we have an English lesson-planning meeting and then one more meeting on Saturday, June 16th.

Would you pray for us during these final weeks of preparation?

Pray for...

• ...inspiration, creativity, and organizational superpowers as we prepare English lessons. Dave and I are co-teaching two separate classes, so part of the struggle is finding time to actually meet and plan with our co-teachers! Pray that we are able to effectively prepare and gather enough resources.
• ...team bonding. As I've said before, we have an incredible team. But we haven't yet had a team meeting where every single person has been present! Everyone does their best to make it (we even had one team member attend several meetings via Skype!), but it just hasn't been possible to get everyone there at once. Pray for team unity.
• ...for continued financial support. Dave and I have only $450 left to raise!!! But that's still... $450! Pray that we reach our goal within the next 23 days. And pray for our team as whole - it's a huge struggle for some team members to raise financial support, especially as many of them are college-students who live on very tight budgets.

Thank you!

Oh, and one more thing - We've been reading up on Jan Hus because Jan Hus day is on the 6th of July (while we are in Czech!). For anyone interested in theology or history, we recommend checking this guy's bio out. It's pretty incredible that this Czech priest played such a powerful role in the reformation... The Czech nation, which is currently so atheistic, has a Christian heritage. Blows my mind!
