Early Sunday morning in Prag, October 14

Presentation of the participating countries

This week we have spent in Prague. During the week we had a Central- and Easteuropean Conference and in the weekend the European Congress.

The meetings have been filled by joy, music and good preaching.

Yesterday (saturday) we had on open air meeting in central Prague and later in the evening a Congress Meeting which started by a flagparade with the 19 participating countries.

The big Congress Choir (180 people?) sang the theme for the Congress: "One Army, One Mission, One Message".

1500 participants in the Congess Hall

General Linda Bond preached about the five pieces of bread and the two fishes which were transformed to food for more than five thousand people. Linda Bond said that there are many Liberal Theology thoughts that try to explain the miracles of Jesus in a natural way. For example saying that the amount of food appeared because everybody share the sandwiches they had brought with each other. But Linda Bond stated: "I believe in miracles!"

Other people say that the miracles are signs pointing at spiritual things. But the miracles was not signs of something else. It was Jesu meeting real needs in real people, either they were blind, ill or hungry.

Prague from the river

The week is coming close to an end. During the week we also had a few opportunities to see the beautiful city of Prague, well worth a later visit. One of the evenings we had the opportunity to see Prague from the riverside.

Now it is Sunday morning and soon time to go to the final Congress meeting. After that we return to Riga and a new working week.

I pray it will be a blessed week for you.
