The Grandest Opening

About 150 young people gathered in the front of the room as Dave prayed.


August 6, the Sunday after Pisek camp ended, Elim church had their official grand opening of their new multipurpose building. Featuring a full on official basketball court with showers and locker rooms, meeting rooms, and an apartment, the church wants the building to be used to reach out to the community. This building project has been underway for a few years, and the church and its leadership have held on to faith through financial and governmental obstacles. Around 500 people attended the grand opening, many of them unbelievers. Dave gave the main message during the service, and after he spoke, Viktor invited all the young people in the room (25 years and younger) to come to the front and Dave prayed a blessing over them. The service was a beautiful fulfillment to a long awaited promise!
