There are few Christian Schools in the Czech Republic. But there is a large one in Liberec that includes a kindergarten, a pre-school and grades 1-9 called Jan Amos Komensky (JAK) Christian School. It is also one of the few schools authorized to sponsor a home-schooling program. On March 8, 2011 Ken was asked to share his salvation testimony in a presentation called "WE WERE HIPPIES" with a group of 8th and 9th graders. Stepan Horacek pictured with Ken often translates for us and is a teacher at this school.
2011 ENGLISH WEEKEND IN NORTH BOHEMIA
On February 18-20 a group of 20 Czech teens from Liberec, Hejnice and Nove Mesto and their leaders (Christian youth group leaders) met with a group of 15 American teens and their leaders (from an American base in Germany that run Christian clubs for military youth) in a snowbound mountain lodge. We challenged the Czechs to speak English only and they did a great job. Some of the time we divided into smaller conversation groups so everyone could practice their English. We also played games and had interesting projects. In the evenings there were times of worship and devotionals. Several were challenged to grow in their faith and some were confronted, for the first time, with the claims of Christ.
ENGLISH WEEKEND IN PICTURES
We divided into fun English conversation groups and discussed the topic of movies and later presented skits based on The Truman Show, Shrek, The Titanic and Forrest Gump.
