To all that are reading this blog. I just thought that it would be a great encouragement for your to please post comments when you read. The comments don't have to pertain to the blog itself, but if they do that would be great. What the comments would help me with is knowing that there are people out there keeping up with this ministry.
Update,
I am to be in Prague October 1st. As of this weekend I am just over 40% raised. Please pray, and talk with others about this ministry.
Also, a correction from the last entry, there is another stinter that is working in Prague. That is an answered prayer, another Christian to work with.

Training
As the day of travel comes closer and closer I have started to be anxious about support. Philippians 4:6 reads “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.” Guess what, God has provided just that.
The support keeps flowing in, I have contacts to call, and supporters are talking to friends about this mission. This shows me that God is working. God’s hand is in this mission placing it on the hearts of those that need to hear about it.
Last week I was in Xenia, Ohio for training. The training was good, honestly one more day would have been a blessing. The last day we started at 8 in the morning and finished at 10 at night. We did eat and go out and putt-putt.
At the training we had four groups going out to spend a year or two with Athletes in Action, one to South Africa, one to Germany, another to South America, a family over to New Zealand, and myself to Prague, Czech Republic. With the putt-putt we divided into teams to compete, of course we are going to compete we are all athletes.
One of the girls that was on my team started off saying, “doesn’t the highest score win?” I thought that would mean that we are going to loss for the other team had a golfer on their team (she shot a 39 on a 40 par course). In the end the “high score” girl scored our second lowest, only second to her husband by 1. When we tallied all the scores we had a total of 193, and their team had a total of 193. No losing team to buy ice-cream.
All in all, the trip went well. I found out I am the only person going as a Stinter to Prague. I was encouraged by the other Stinters were they are in support. Also, I was encouraged greatly to continue to work on my own walk. If my walk with the Lord is suffering I will have a harder time to share the gospel.
Please pray: The rest of the support flows in fast. That I grow in my walk. That I am able to reach to those who need to hear about this mission work, and more importantly to reach those who need to hear the good news.
