Why Change Now?

Some of you who receive and regularly read our "Bohall Bulletin" may wonder why we've gone to the internet all of a sudden. Others may understand without reading this. Either way, there were many reasons for making the switch from snail mail to the internet. Here are a few:

1. The internet is cheaper. We want to be wise with the money our donors have generously given. This is one way to cut down our ministry costs.

2. It's easier for people to find us. Whether newsletters get recycled, thrown away or just plain lost, the paper system is less reliable than the internet these days. In addition, there may be people who want to know what's going on in Croatia who we haven't even met. Our desire is to share news from both our ministry and other noteworthy things that God is doing in Croatia with anyone who may come across this site.

3. We can be more transparent. Some of the people we work with have internet access, know English fluently and could easily find out what we're saying to our supporters. Knowing that keeps us focused on providing true, reliable information.

4. You can get a better glimpse of our ministry, lives and overall situation in Croatia. Pictures are expensive to print - especially in color. But they're free to post on this site. And pictures often say more than we can in a simple article. We want you to see what's going on.

5. You can communicate with us as well. When we send a newsletter we have no idea what you're thinking. "What a horrible use of space" you may be saying, or "couldn't we hear about this or that?" Let us know what you're thinking.

With these 5 things in mind, please tell us if you would like to be taken off our snail mailing list. We will send out one more "Bohall Bulletin" soon, but if you're aware of this site and don't need the Bulletin send an email to jeremy.bohall@gmail.com

Thanks for your support!

Exciting News

We're moving to Zagreb! In May we accepted an invitation to work with an evangelical church in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. We will be working with a young, vibrant evangelical church whose pastor we’ve known for more than ten years. This is an exciting opportunity for our family! Zagreb, Croatia Moving to the capital is significant for our kingdom work: Zagreb is Croatia’s leading city,  a place where lots of young people go to college and begin their careers. A prominent leader recently said, “Where the people go, the gospel needs to go.” We are honored to serve alongside a pastor whose vision we share while filling a need for full-time workers. Jeremy’s role: Teaching Bible studies. Leading the national scout ministry he began three years ago. Preaching occasionally and teaching English.

Love and Marriage

We often pray that God gives us discernment and guidance as we try to figure out what parts of our ministry to let go of and what possible new things He wants us to be involved in. One of our biggest prayers is that no part of our work ever exists because of tradition or because of our own desire or need for it. We aim to work in accordance to His will. Family and marriage ministry is not something either of us really considered much when we first started working here but God has really been leading us and it is increasingly becoming a bigger part of our work. As we mentioned in previous newsletters, we began a couples small group. We are now privileged to be just one of the almost 30 small groups that meet all over Croatia in affiliation with the organization ‘Family Life’. The Croatian ‘Family Life’ team has been a huge help and blessing to our marriage and family ministries. Together we were able to organize a one-day marriage seminar in October that 17 couples attended. The re...

Update: Camp Season in Full Force

In the middle of her other duties,  Petra joined our Royal Ranger fire breathing workshop We're right in the middle of our first camp season as the official hosts and organizers. Because of her 20 years of experience, the brunt of the logistical details fall on Petra's shoulders. It has certainly been a challenge but the fit is perfect; no one else has the combination of experience, skill and knowledge she has, and she immensely enjoys the job.  This picture seems like an appropriate symbol for the numerous and diverse roles she has at camp.  Here's a quick look back at the first three weeks of camp.  2 weeks of kids camps - Evangelism  One of the highlights of this years' kids camps is that we saw an increased number of non-churched children. Some of them come from abusive situations. For many of them, this is the first time they've been in a supportive atmosphere. The Good News they hear is very attractive because its accompanied by friendly face...
