Exciting News: Our Move to Prague is Approved!

We’re thrilled to share some wonderful news with you: we’ve been approved to move to Prague in August! Thanks to the incredible support from our dedicated ministry partners, including many of you, and several new supporters, the Lord has provided significantly towards our monthly pledges and relocation costs in record time.

Current Financial Standing

While we’re still about $1,500 short of our monthly pledges goal, MTW has given us the green light to proceed. To help make this happen, we’ll be taking a voluntary salary reduction to meet the administrative requirements. This temporary measure allows us to move forward while we continue to trust in God's provision to meet our full financial goal. This also means that Caleb and Mary can start school in Prague at the end of August while we continue to trust the Lord to raise the last bit of financial support needed for the long-term viability of our ministry in Prague.

How You Can Help

Please pray with us for the Lord to bring in the remaining monthly, quarterly, and annual pledges. The frequency of the pledge is less important than the commitment to ongoing support. Whether you can give monthly, quarterly, or annually, every contribution helps take the Gospel to the lost in Prague and helps us trust the Lord together to strengthen and continue Faith Community Church's growth in grace.

Special Needs

In addition to ongoing support, we need approximately $14,000 in additional special gifts to cover one-time expenses such as moving costs, real estate and school deposits, visas, and more. Since the U.K. is no longer part of the European Union, we also require a special veterinary exam and an EU “pet passport” for our dog Aldo. Fortunately, driving to Prague with Aldo will be more cost-effective than flying.

Join Us in Prayer

We’re incredibly grateful for your continued prayers and support as we embark on this new chapter in the Czech Republic. Together, we’re bringing the Gospel to the heart of Europe. Please pray for the Lord to provide the remaining financial support and for a smooth transition for our family.

Stay Updated

To stay updated on our journey and ministry, please continue to follow our blog. We’ll be sharing more updates and stories about our work and experiences in Prague. Your prayers and support mean the world to us as we take this step of faith.

Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers. Let’s continue to trust together in God's provision and grace through our partnership in the Gospel.

Blessings from London,

Dawson, Shanna, Joshua, Caleb, and Mary Elisabeth Bean
