Entrance Free - Semily
23/10/2009 11:40
Our long time goal is to found a church in Semily, small town with 10000 people and no evangelical church, about 30 minutes from Turnov. As a first step, we did the service project also in Semily this year. It was greatly received by the local community, and we thought it was the only result. But later PHDr. Pickova, a psychologist and local educational advisor, contacted us and asked for a help. She has a group of volunteers and a group of children and youth around and said that she wanted to start a youth club, but realized, that she had no experience and no capacity to do it. She visited the mayor of the town and he told her: “Why don’t you contact The Bouda ministry in Turnov and ask them for a help. I closely watch what they do in Turnov and I really like it.” So she called us and asked us to come a weekend retreat for 29 youth to share what we do. When we came, they were so excited about our ministry, that they decided to visit us in Turnov the next day. We prepared for them two examples of our club activities, shared pictures from youth club meetings and invited them to a concert of Paul Colman, which Moravian church organized in Liberec (and 18 of them, all non christians, came). As a result of the meeting with Mrs. Pickova, we began to think to start a youth club in Semily once a week. Please pray for the wisdom, if to start this new project in this time.
