Czech Republic
Team Travná
Rhonda and I led a team of 11 from Cole Community Church and Eastwind Community Church to the Czech Republic in support of Jared and Daniela Kenning and their work with youth at Travná. The team was to work with their youth and team in the restoration of a 100 year house, Vasely Domic or Happy House. The house is adjacent to existing camp facility which has become overcrowded and in need of additional capacity. The real purpose was to engage in relationships with the Czech people.
Here is a pictorial gallery of our time.
