Ministry bus...

While I was in Cz saying goodbye to some folks I had the opportunity to talk to Mark Krupa. He lives in Czech Republic and is part of the JV team. Mark was sharing with me about his ministry and what is going on with students around him. …



This may look like some gang bangers got a hold of this bus but actually this is Mark’s ministry. M: “It’s not about finding the place but finding the people.” (Those were not his exact words but close to it)
Mark mentioned how this bus was an old junker and the entire inside was wiped out and all the seats were gone. So they put pillows on the floors and use it as a meeting place for students. It has been broken into many times but there is nothing in it to steal. And in the winter time there is a generator hooked up to it for heat and lights. How cool is this bus?!

Every night during the month of August, Krupa is there at 8pm whether students show up or not. If not, then he sits there in prayer and if they do then he has a study prepared for them. Well this particular night that I was there it had been raining and a group of kids were out in the park across from the bus. Most of the rough kids in the neighborhood hang out there. Well, Krupa invited them in to get out of the rain and they read a chapter in Genesis together. He said the room (bus) was silent. They all listened as he read. I love seeing how God moves.

Could you please be praying for Mark and his team in Cz as they reach out to the youth there. Pray that God will use this cool bus as a place for the students to come and hear about Him.
