Saying ‘yes’ to God’s will or plan for your life requires an initial, get-your-engine-going type of yes. But it also requires a perpetual yes in the days, weeks, months, and years of that assignment’s journey. In other words, you have to keep saying ‘yes’, when circumstances push against you, driving you to say ‘no’.
Our guest today knows all about this requirement as, over a decade ago, she and her family packed up the belongings they hadn’t sold and moved across the world to Prague, Czech Republic, to serve as missionaries and plant a church in one of the most atheistic cities of the world. As the Hales family openly shares, all that they had anticipated would come with their wholehearted yes exponentially unraveled before their eyes. And in short order.
Welcome, Amy Hales. Amy and her husband, Chris, along with their two children have served with Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM) since November 2010. Because of God’s faithfulness and numerous supporters, they were able to move to Prague in 2012 and begin the journey of starting a new church. In October 2016, along with a team, the Hales planted an international church. They pastored the church through the end of December 2020. At this time, the Hales family transitioned the church to their Czech friends and pastors, Petr and Renata Rattay. Now stateside, they raising support to plant two more churches in the Czech Republic. One will be another international church in the city of Ostrava. The other will be a Czech church in the city of Decin.
