Your family blessed us...

Dear Gloria,
We returned from the Czech Republic a couple of weeks ago. We met you on an airplane--you were a great encouragement to us and to the missionaries we went to see. We gave them the bracelets, movie, and the soccer balls and their boys got very excited. Zachary was so excited when the lights were out one night and his bracelet lit up. I forgot to tell them that the bracelets glow in the dark. The Czech Republic is not an easy place to live as you can see, and the couple was encouraged by the fact we prayed in the airport!

We passed out sandwiches (sandvich--I know about 10 Czech words now) in the train station. We got a different response from the homeless. We also were able to pray for some--they grabbed our hands! I am very puzzled about this country and Eastern Europe in general. Why are they so hard? What has made them aetheists? They were not very open in general, but my husband got to pray for a visitor at our friend's Bible school in Slovakia. He thought there were many roads to heaven. My husband asked if he could pray for this man.

Our friend that has Bible schools in Czech Republic moves in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. His website is http://www.schwarzministries.org/ They have lived in Prague for 12 years.

We were blessed by your family's heart to share the Gospel. We share the same heart and believe God calls families. Our kids have been willing to do things they never did before for God as a result of this trip. They are getting used to speaking in front of others and doing puppet shows that share the Gospel. They also made the sandviches and helped pass them out in Prague. We long to raise our kids to walk in the miraculous and to walk in God's ways. What you are doing is a great inspiriation to us and your kids are a great blessing!
God bless you,

Tracy Meddaugh

This email arrived recently. What a blessing! We thought this would be a great encouragement to others traveling with kids. We'd like to encourage people to pray for them and maybe support them in some way. (please visit the site above for more information) May God bless each of you! ~ Gloria & family
