Volunteer stay November 2025, Olomouc

In November 2025, a stay for 31 Ukrainian volunteers took place in Olomouc.

Within a week, they were able to experience care in 3 areas.

Physical - in the form of nice accommodation, food, rest or perhaps massages. Mental - in the form of relaxation and focusing the mind on other activities - aquapark, jumpark, trip to Prague and Suchdol nad Odrou, visit to BeArtist, meeting with the President of the Republic and the First Lady, dredging, workshops, etc.

Spiritual - in the form of fellowship, prayers, praise.

During the week, they were able to rest and gain new strength for the next service.

What was the retreat in Olomouc like?

I am completely overflowing with love – love for everything around me.

I don't know if you and the Lord filled me so much, or if that love was multiplied by the peace around, the care you gave us, the beauty of your country, the architecture, the peace and harmony.

To say that you impressed us, that you warmed us with your tact, kindness, care, and acceptance of our feelings (which you may never have had to experience yourself – and that's a good thing), would not at all describe what we felt.

When we saw how you treated us, we often had tears in our eyes – tears of gratitude and tears of love that one does not receive so often in the world.

To say we are grateful is not enough. To say we are filled with love also does not capture the deep and mixed current of feelings we have for you.

I keep looking at the photos and videos. They are full of incredible happiness and love.

Now I feel like we can move mountains – for the sake of people, for the sake of loved ones, for the sake of service.
