Back in the summer of 2001, Team Olomouc (o-lo-moats), a group of friends from the University of Arkansas, began preparing for mission work in Olomouc, Czech Republic. For five years we had our eyes on the fall of 2006, and on October 28th of that year we finally made the move to our new Moravian home (Moravia is the eastern half of the Czech Republic). First we found apartments and then went through a year of Czech language school; now we've reduced our language studies a bit and are getting actively involved in outreach and service. Please pray for us, for our ongoing efforts, and for the city of Olomouc and all of the Czech Republic.
Most of us became friends while in the Razorbacks for Christ campus ministry at the U of A. Participating in summer mission trips in eastern Europe sparked our interests in missions and a survey trip throughout the Czech Republic in the summer of 2001, which was initiated by RFC campus minister Scott Karnes and conducted by Prague missionaries Allen and Laurie Diles and Galen Harrill, showed us the great potential in the Czech Republic and set our mission team formation in motion.
