Rehearsal in the Tent

For those of you who read my blog regularly, you will recognize this sight.

It is the tent at Malenovice where we hold big events for Josiah Venture.

Often it's full of youth leaders from Central and Eastern Europe, participating in leadership training conferences, or JV families being refreshed with Bible teaching at our spring conference.

But today it's the sight of something very sweet.

Tonight is rehearsal for Katka and David's wedding tomorrow!

Katka is Czech, and came to Christ as a 16 year old in our first ministry in Havirov many years ago. She served with us here in Czech for ten years, and then moved to Latvia to serve with our JV team up there.

David is American and came to Latvia to serve with JV a number of years ago. He and Katka met, fell in love, and the rest is history!

Dave has the privilege of marrying them, so we were invited to the rehearsal dinner this evening, which happened to be at one of our favorite restaurants just down the hill from where we live!

It was a privilege to join Katka and David's family, along with their wedding party, for a celebration dinner before the big event tomorrow!
