Hello friends!
In the afternoon, we attended an English-speaking church that met at one of Prague's train stations. It was incredible to worship God with other believers in another country. The church was full! The energy was high. From what I could gather, the congregation was mostly made of international students (American or otherwise) and mixed American/ Czech families.
Before service started, I started talking with a girl named Lucy, who looked like she was probably my age. She told me that she grew up in a village outside of Prague, but is moving to the city in August. She is going to be a cook in a restaurant called I Love Mama. She explained that this was her first time in a church. She came because she knows the pastor, Justin, because he is a frequent customer of the restaurant where she works. Justin invited her and she decided to try something new and check it out. She said that most Czechs are atheist and so she was surprised to see so many people there. We talked a little bit after the service also and she said that she really enjoyed it. She had tried to convince her boyfriend to come today, but he was skeptical. She said she hopes that he will come next time now that she has scoped it out first.
It was amazing to talk to Lucy. She was so cheerful and fun. I'm so glad that God brought us both to His house on this Sunday. God is building His kingdom everywhere, constantly drawing people to Himself. Please pray for Lucy and for this church in Prague.
In Christ,
Love,
Jinae
