Please pray for pastor Chris as he has been invited to preach at the service for the English speaking people here.
Also, please continue to pray for health for all of us and for our time to be fruitful. We are so excited about the opportunity we have here. We are thankful for all of the ways you have partnered with us. We will be home before you know it.
A Note from Matt Rittgers in Czech
Since the church video guy, Matt Rittgers, is on the Czech team, he is going to try his best to upload some type of media update as much as possible. Please check out www.vimeo.com/prairielakes for some sweet updates about our time!
Czech Team Arrived
The team has arrived at their destination in Brno, Czech Republic after only about 40 hours of traveling! They had safe and mostly uneventful travels. No one lost any baggage and everyone is in great spirits and doing well. They are settling into the Majak center. Matt and Hilary will be sending updates during their time so watch the blog for some fun updates.
Czech Team Leaves
Our team is heading to the Czech Republic today. They left today from Chicago.
Let's all spend some time in prayer for this Outreach Team. Prayer is the best thing we can do for our teams.

Kenya Team on their way HOME
Earlier today I heard from Walt just before they were getting on the plane heading home. He said the team was healthy and all is well. They will be in Chicago tomorrow evening around 8:07! Larry Rittgers is in Chicago and ready to pick them all up to bring them home.
Featured Volunteer
On the fourth Saturday of each month, you can bet that a group of Prairie Lakes Church volunteers are fired up and ready to help build homes with families. PLC has a mile long list of members eager to join a Saturday work crew and somebody has to coordinate all of those volunteers. That somebody is church member and volunteer extraordinaire, Peggy Bash.
Since April, 2008 PLC has held the volunteer spot for the fourth Saturday of each Month. Since then as well, Peggy has worked hard to secure volunteers for those Saturday’s and educate her fellow church members about Habitat and the impact of volunteering. In less than two years, Peggy’s list of volunteers has grown to about 270 people with hearts to serve God and their community.
In June 2009, Peggy’s position on the PLC church Outreach Committee is up. She will pass the reins of coordinating Habitat volunteers to Peggy Holdiman.
Habitat and the PLC outreach committee would like to thank Peggy for her hard work and dedication this past year. No worries though, we hope to still see Peggy on Saturday’s on the construction site.

Kenya Team Arrives
I spoke with our Kenya staff and the team leaders a little while ago. The team had a great flight and landed in Nairobi with no issues. The team has gone through customs and gotten their luggage and is now at the hotel for the night. Everyone on the team is doing well. Tomorrow morning they will head north to the 410 Bridge community of Kwambekenya for their first day in the community. Praise the Lord for safe travel for the team. Please continue to pray that the Lord will work in a powerful way in and through this team during their time in Kenya.
