In Prague I met people from
Harvest International who were traveling around in old buses with circus
tent preaching and praying for sick, so I went with them for some years
. We have seen thousands and thousands of people to come to Jesus and
to be healed. Gods power was so strong there, that when I saw some
person who could not walk properly or move hands, I was glad that people
in tent will see Gods Healing power in action, since majority of those
people Jesus healed completely or they got considerably better.( In west
countries only few people were healed, not majority) Than some business
man paid me to go with them to Thailand, to translate business. I
stayed there for several months and could do evangelisation with local
pastors or preach in the church, since business took only few hours in
week. But even though Thai people are so nice and kind, it was a very
differenn culture and I felt very lonly there, having no girlfriend,
wife or close friend. Then I got invitation to be a pastor and also
invitation by US missionary to work with him with boat ministry which I
preferred most. I told them I would need a wife to live in Thailand
permanently so I went back to Czech republic to get one. When I came to
Prague I asked God to send me a wife to Methodist Church, which I planed
to visit on Sunday. (a girl who would not be afraid of adventure on
boat or jungle and would not mind living in a simple way without the
electricity and things spoiled westerners are used to) On Sunday I went
to Church and at the tram station I saw a nice girl with beautiful ayes.
So I told God I would like a girl like that, and also to give me
courage to talk to her ( I was allways shy to talk to girls, more pretty
they were, the more shy I was, and this was a very pretty girl). God
heared my prayer and gave me courage, so I gave her Christian tractate
and invited her to that Methodist Church behind the corner where I was
on way to. She told me , she is also going to that Church, she is only
waiting for her father. She came to Church, gave me her address, 3days
later I asked her if she would mind living on sailing boat or in the
simple hut in jungle, and she said she would love it, therefore I asked
her to marry me and she said yes. 3weeks after I met her, we got married
when my mentor Gösta Öman come to Prague. I think it is normally much
better when people know each other longer time before they get married,
but I needed to get back to Thailand soon (had no money of my own to
travel - those business man payed the travels when they needed me) .
First long time after that, she admitted that she was praying to God the
same week as I did, telling Him that she does not want to be alone any
more, asking Him to send her a husband who is older than she and who
likes adventure a lot, to that Methodist Church ( where she normally
does not go - and neither did I) that Sunday.
Back in Thailand we were happy to see how God was doing His miracles and saving people.
Once we were for example asked to pray for an old man who fell from a high mango tree and broke his back so he could not walk. Doctors said they can not do anything for him anymore. We prayed to Jesus for whom there are no hopeless cases, but we did not see any healing that day. Next day he told his doughtier that in the dream he heard a voice telling him he is healed now and can go to WC by himself, but he was arguing that he can not walk. When he woke up, he went to WC by himself and his doughtier said he is not so much surprised that Jesus healed him, but what surprised him very much was that God of foreigners can speak so perfectly Thai language.
