Czech Republic Missions Trip 2009
This was the 4th trip we’ve been on to serve Jimmie & Hulda Bennett in Pardubice, Czech Republic. The previous trips have been mainly focussed on different forms of outreach, along with some other practical ways in which we’ve been able to serve, but this trip was different. Because of the place that Jimmie & Hulda are at in their ministry, our sole task while we were out for just over a week was to help them in the building of their new house. As a couple they have made a decision to really make a home for themselves in the country and commit themselves to ministering to the Czech people for the long-term. We are really excited to have been able to serve them in this way, and look forward to the ways in which God will use this new house for the impact of many lives in that country.
As you will see from some of the photos, most of the week we held some kind of digging implement in our hands. In fact, a lot of what we did was to dig trenches for pipes, put the pipes in, and then cover them up, so you would never know we’d even done anything! Alongside that, we were able to dig what we thought would be a well (until we found out that we had no permission to dig a well) but ended up as a water storage tank in the corner of their back garden, which God-willing will one day become a well for drinking water.
It was a great though tiring week for the 8 of us who went, sleeping in a half-built house, and frantically preparing shelter when a storm suddenly blew up were the highlights, and we look forward to more opportunities to serve in the Czech Republic in the future. Photos
