On Thursday night we had the privilege of travelling to the north of the city with Thomas F. who works with street kids in that area. Amidst many communist built high-rise blocks of flats, he gathers children and youth to come to the many activities held during the week. The premises are a disused shop at the base of one of the blocks, and here there is a table tennis table where youth can come to play. Thomas and his team arrange for adventure activities during the holidays - canoeing, rock climbing, hiking and more - and gradually he has built a small group of youth who regularly attend. Their Christian experience is limited and we realised that there is much to do in their hearts and lives. We met with six of these teens and were able to have a fun workshop on puppetry, but the best part was seeing them repeat an entire puppet skit in Czech to the group of children who came to the evening program. None of these younger children had had any previous exposure to Christianity and for many it was the first time they had heard of "GOD". Our interpreter was Katka - a medical doctor - who each week works alongside Thomas and team to reach the young people of this area - literally called in Czech "Satan's City". Please pray with us that the strongholds of this area would crumble and that a new generation for God would emerge!
