Great Expectations

This summer is a very special one for us. Camps are returning to Orahovica! Though the reconstruction is not 100% complete, camps will come back to Orahovica for the first time in five years. What does this mean? It means at least twice as many campers can attend and hear the gospel. It means that camps no longer have to take place on pavement in a nearby city. Rather, they will be in a small town near the lake where the first ever Christian camp was founded in the former-Yugoslavia more than 30 years ago. It also means that there's a lot to do before camps start on July 5th.

That's why last weekend - a holiday weekend in Croatia - many of the camp leaders gathered in Orahovica for a work weekend to prepare the building for camps. Over 100 mattresses, some of which haven't been used for 5 years, were cleaned. Bunkbeds, which have been stuck in storage had to be put together. Sheets were washed, pillows counted, windows scrubbed, furniture moved, and floors swept.

Petra, who couldn't be more excited, had the privilege of organizing and delegating. It's a gift she's been given by the Lord and knows how use well. Jeremy, on the other hand, got to stay with the boys the whole time - something he will have to practice as Petra will be primarily working at camp come July. Fortunately we live 10 minutes from the church so the 3 Bohall boys can enjoy watching the others work.

How can you be involved? Please pray:

1. For the camp leaders, that God would give them wisdom, strength and refreshment before camps begin.
2. For the campers, that God will prepare their hearts for what's in store.
3. For the completion of the building project. The Lord has provided in so many amazing ways so far. Even though the kitchen has not been completed yet, an alternative has been found and meals will not be a problem during camp.

Please let us know if you would like any more information about camps!

Chestnuts and Discipleship: A Fall Update

In small town Croatia, picking chestnuts is an autumn staple. Yesterday, I (Jeremy) had the opportunity to take a group of 5th through 7th graders from our church out chestnut picking. We've been meeting weekly ever since the school year started. When I asked what sort of activities they would like to do as a group, chestnut picking was one of the suggestions. Chestnuts grow inside a very well protected pouch which usually requires a knife to open. Most times there are three chestnuts inside each pouch. Early risers often find a bunch of chestnuts on the ground in the morning, but when we arrived in the afternoon most of them were already opened. Undeterred, one of us would shake the trees while the rest protected their heads. Once the chestnuts fell the kids raced to open the pouches as quickly as they safely could. I asked one of my friends at the church to go with us. Božidar (literally "God's gift") led us to a place where there were a lot of ch...

Camp Week 1: Children's Camp

Camps are back! It's been 5 years and a lot of reconstruction since camps were last in Orahovica, but they are finally underway. As a way of helping you get a better idea of what camps are like, how we are involved and how you can pray, we will be updating this site once a week with details about each camp. Camp Week 1: Children's Camp - July 5th through the 10th - Ages 6 through 9 - the requirement is that each child has finished first grade and are able to read and write. - The price of camp is $40. - This year, more than others, fewer people were able to pay the registration fee. The camp policy is to accept everyone and usually outside donations help to cover the cost of paying for the kids who can't. This year we were in the minus to start camps, but during the second day of camp someone donated money to pay for 16 kids who were unable to which turned out to be the exact amount needed to erase the deficit. Praise the Lord! - Please pray:...

Partners for the Gospel

I am so grateful for the two men of God that flank me in the picture below. Tom (my right) is making his biannual trip to Europe and preached in Đakovo yesterday. Danijel (my left) pastors the local church in Đakovo. I've written about both of them before so I'll limit this post to what I experienced yesterday. The local church in Đakovo is growing. Danijel and his wife Tijana moved here 17 years ago and took over a church of fewer than 10 people - most of whom were older that 60 years old. This is a typical scenerio in eastern Croatia. Today, the church in Đakovo is teeming with children running around and babies being held during the service. It's truly beautiful to see the ways in which the Lord has blessed Danijel and Tijana's "long obedience in the same direction". Tom preached from Luke 8 and reminded the congregation about the importance of trusting the Lord in the midst of difficult times. He emphasized "marvel" and contemplation during ti...
