KidsQuest Drug Free in Czech
 By
Julie Wootton
This past May, two local Czech churches
hosted the KidsQuest Drug Free program in their cities.
Children’s pastor, Štěpán Beran, led the program in České
Budějovice, in which several schools were visited. In
all, over 600 children saw this drug prevention program,
allowing the local churches to make a very positive impact in
the community.
One student’s mother sent the
following note in response to the program:
“My daughter, who is a student
in the 3rd grade, was very touched by yesterday’s
presentation. [She] was very excited as she told me about the
whole presentation and read through the comic book. She wanted
to discuss with me the themes presented and explain what she
learned. I thank you for having these preventative
events for children. Some themes are difficult to open in the
home environment so that we could speak about them openly with
our children. I see yesterday’s presentation for the children
as a means for good prevention for my daughter.”
Another KidsQuest Drug Free program was hosted in Havířov
on May 30 on the town square,
a creative venue for such an event. That day began with
rain and wind however! But, by the time it was necessary to
set up the stage on the square, the rain had stopped and the
sun had come out! About 130 children, mostly gypsies,
gathered to watch the one-hour program. Once again,
children were reached with a positive message of drug
prevention and the local church’s presence was made more
visible in the community.
