ICP

this morning, sam came with me to international church of prague.. it was truly a blessing to be there.

the international church here is run by missionaries in kind of an evangelical free / baptist style... similar to international church of budapest. so it was basically as expected... there were a lot of guests since it's summer travel season so we met a lot of cool visitors besides the regular church people.

most of all, i just find it refreshing to find other Christians and worship with them no matter where I am. and in international churches there's a universal kind of personality to make sure to greet all the guests and get to know them rather than just have them be sitting in your pews and leave again. similar to how i felt my first week at budapest, when the worship time started, i felt at home and it almost made me cry for how happy it made me to be around other Christians. :)

the sermon was out of john 17 on Jesus' prayers for Christians in that chapter... wrapping up his life of talking to us about God, to note the kinds of things He prayed to God about us, and noting what it says about God's personality and what eternal life is. as with any sermon from a church that comes from that vein of the worship spectrum, it's a very different style than the typical Lutheran sermon ;), but also very quality. :)

anyhow, finding the Christians makes anywhere you go in the world feel like home. at least that's my philosophy. :)

later dudes.
