THIS IS INTERESTING

The following was posted today by Brittany's team leader. It gives us all a good understanding of what the team is doing:

Greetings,

We have had a couple of crazy days in Prague. Yesterday the team washed all of their laundry by hand at the our camp site. In the afternoon we went into Prague to do some performances. We got through one full performance and our team went out and started talking to people in the crowd. They had some great conversations with the people. About and hour later we started another performance and immediately drew an even larger crowd. While we were performing a police car pulled up and two police men got out of their vehicle. Lets just say they were not as friendly as sheriff Andy would have been on the Andy Griffith show. They were pretty upset that we had broken the law and performed with out a permit. He said I had to pay a 1000,00 Kc fine or go to jail. I opted to pay the 1,000.00 Kc fine. After that was all taken care of our team got together and prayed for the angry police officer and decided our budget could not afford any more fines. We went to the main square and went out into the city and did surveys which our team loves to do. They spent the next 2 hours talking and sharing with people. I was really proud of them for not getting discouraged and being willing to go out and bolding share without being able to perform. They met all kinds of people from Muslims, philosphers, Athiests, Catholics, and even some Christians.

Today we have had a chance to experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of Prague. They have really enjoyed their time here. God is doing some cool things in the hearts of our students. Tomorrow we leave for Krakow, Poland and will be there for three nights. Please pray for a safe trip and that God would prepare our team for what He has next in this amazing journey we are on.

Love in Christ,
Curtis Burnam
