Prague, sparkling as crystal

Last weekend we had the treat as a leadership team to plan for future ministry with Connexxion and pray in the city of Prague. We spent many hours holed up inside a city apartment, using laptops & sticky pads as our tools. In the off hours we strolled the streets of Prague, which is about 5 hours southeast of my city.

The magnificent castle behind me is the seat of the Czech president, Václav Klaus. The city abounds with shops selling local crystal. The astronomical clock has a Glockenspiel each hour.

If your dog has a 'need' while out walking, you can get handy paper bags available along the sidewalk, to dispose of the waste! There is a superstition that you get good luck by touching one of the statues on the famous Charles Bridge.


We admired those making an eternal impact, serving through the International Baptist Church where we visited on Sunday. There are about 20 nations represented in that church and it was like a taste of heaven to experience Africans & South Americans in the choir, an Asian lady at the piano and a British pastor speaking.
