With our sites firmly set on London, we began contacting GCI members there to see what our next steps would be. As we made our connections, Prague came up several times in various conversations. What's that old saying? Twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern? We began to see a pattern forming. It may be best to number the events. All of following events happened within about two weeks of each other.
- Our contact to find out about getting visas for London was currently living in Prague.
- He had a lead on an anti-trafficking effort out of a church in Prague.
- The church mentioned above was the same one we attended while were living in the city.
- The same week, I was contacted by Arabska, the school I worked at in Prague.
- She mentioned that there was a job available there for an English teacher. I was intrigued.
- Tonya was contacted by a student that she had done one on one English lessons with while we were there. This student had not contacted her for months.
- We reached out to our former regional director about jobs there. She again mentioned the Arabska job and also directed us to the same anti-trafficking that GCI had recommended.
At this point, we were just kind of stunned. I never thought we'd live in Prague again. But as we began to pray for guidance, it became clear that Prague was where we were going.
Now the only thing left for us to do was begin to end again. Ending another tour at Grace meant ending our basketball career again. That was going to hurt.
Next time: Love and Basketball
