About a month ago, I went to the Czech Republic on a mission trip, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The church there has such brave faith that I am so incredibly jealous of. They are some of the coolest people I have ever met, and their church consists of about 20 members including youth and adults. Compared to churches here.. that's nothing, which makes their faith so much more incredible. They are constantly trying to reach out the the people of Czech who shoot them down a lot, but they still stay strong in their faith and praise God with everything that they have. They don't do it because "all their friends are doing it" or because it's the "cool" thing to do; they praise God because they love God with all that they have, and in a "dead" country, I can only imagine that that would be hard to do. The people of this church are some of the coolest people I have ever met and I plan on going back there some day in the future. We did a lot of different types of ministry with the church and I loved every minute of it. If you want to hear more about it, feel free to message me or anything because I am totally up for talking about it.
These are the lyrics to our teams "theme song" on/before the trip I guess you could say. This song talks about going out into this dead world and bringing it back to life again and letting absolutely nothing stop us along the way. We tried to make this our mindset throughout the trip because we are the hand and feet of God forever and ever.
Talmidim(The Servants) by For Today
Lord of glory.
Make us worthy, to possess your name.
Give us a new name.
Call us your people, God.
Give us a new name.
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees and be careful to keep My laws.
You will live in the land I gave to your forefathers.
You will be My people and I will be your God."
And through all of this, there is nothing, absolutely nothing. No fear, no insecurity, no doubt, no hesitation, that will ever, ever stop us.
Because we are the sons of the living God.
Because we are the children of the Almighty.
Because we are the residents of the kingdom of Heaven.
And we are soldiers in an army of the immortal.
And when we speak life, life happens.
And when we speak healing, healing happens.
And when we speak truth, truth happens.
And when we go and take what we have found to a dead world, we'll see it come to life again.
And when we take what we have found to a hopeless world, we'll see hope come back.
We'll see the heart of our world start beating again.
And we'll see the color come back into people's faces.
And absolutely nothing will ever stop that.
And mountains will move before us.
And oceans will part before us.
And the dead will raise before us.
And the world will know that our God is a god that heals.
That our God is a god that lives.
And our God is a god that loves unlike anything anyone has ever felt before.
Because we are fearless.
Because we are His hands.
And because we are His feet.
Forever and ever.
