Hello saints!
On our first day in Slovakia we drove to a small town called Letovice in the Czech Republic, the region which was actually where the Moravian Brethren met! There are about 7 saints who meet here regularly and 7 more who live in the same region. We had a sweet gathering where Christ was all and in all! The saints overflowed their enjoyment from the many hymns we sang and the trainees all shared our enjoyment as well. It was wonderful to see the saints loving and pursuing together. Most of them are middle-aged and above (mostly above) with about 4 high school and college aged students.
This morning there were about 20 saints who attended the Lord’s table and prophesying meeting with us in Bratislava. Most of them traveled from places an hour to 3 hours away just to meet with us.
Tonight we heard from our hosts the testimonies of many of the saints we have met. These testimonies, though completely different from one another, all testified to us the Lord’s absolute sovereignty and the perfect, minute arrangements He makes to gather His people out of religion and vanity and into Himself. Many of them struggled immensely to fully come into the church life and all of them in one way or another are still struggling, whether it be with health issues or family situations.
The general burden we have for them is just to stand with them in prayer, that they would be strengthened with power into their inner man to apprehend with ALL THE SAINTS the riches of Christ. May the Lord bless these saints abundantly with grace upon grace, that they would be supplied to minister life to their family members, to cover all their weekly travels to and from the meetings, and to continue being the shining testimony of Jesus in the Bratislava/Letovice region.
Grace to you all,
