CHRASTAVA JB CHURCH REACHES OUT TO ITS COMMUNITY

The JB church in Chrastava, led by Pastor Simon Dvorak and his wife, Milana, began ministering to Mothers with young children 3 years ago.The church rents the upstairs portion of the local movie theater. There is one large room that is used as the sanctuary on Sundays and as a Mother's with young children center two days a week. Pastor Simon asked Ken and I if we would lead a weekly English conversation class for the mothers while their church cared for their children. For some mothers, this was the first time they had ever done anything with a church.



There was a vacant piece of land next to the movie theater owned by the city which the church wanted to make into a play area for the children. After 3 years of praying, asking the city and then finding a team to help, they finally realized their vision. The following pictures tell the story. Thank you everyone who played a part.
