Bohall Ministry

Throughout the next month or so I will be endeavoring to do something that is quite foreign to us.  In the Spring of 2007, Petra and I were already involved in ministry, working with youth in the local church and teaching English at a nearby seminary. That local church extended an invitation to serve full-time. We decided to take a leap of faith to see if the Lord would confirm the decision through the response of our family and friends.  Since then and throughout the growth of our family and a move to Zagreb, the Lord has provided. We have never made a trip to the States for the sole purpose of fund-raising and have never been in need. It is honestly awe-inspiring to consider how the Lord has taken care of us. We believe He will continue to do so. For various reasons, our support has decreased over the past year or so. Therefore, I am traveling to the Northeast U.S. from October 8th to 28th for the purpose of fund-raising. Our ministry at this point is more esta...

I’m convinced that it is impossible to make disciples of Jesus Christ without prayer. Let me put it in even stronger terms: If we’re not praying for those we’re discipling, we’re not discipling. Image Source For those who are serious about a biblical vision of disciple making, it ought to be evident that prayer is an essential ingredient.  The reason I post this though is because it’s probably the thing I am worst at. I need a reminder. So, if you and I are serious about making disciples of Jesus Christ, let’s stop what we’re doing. Go for a prayer walk. Turn down the music in your car and pray. Put a half hour of time in your calendar to pray. Do whatever it takes to devote time to pray for those you are discipling.  If we can’t make time to pray, we’re not actually making disciples.

We would appreciate your prayers as we are right in the middle of our summer ministry. Petra is continuing her active role in camps, leading and coordinating all four sessions in Orahovica. We’re serving together, balancing caring for a new baby while watching over several hundred energetic campers throughout July.

  Mihej Drago was born on Good Friday. He is a healthy, growing boy surrounded by four kids who anxiously try to evoke smiles and laughter from their baby brother whenever they can.  Petra has recovered relatively quickly. Both the Kuzmič and Bohall parents have been with us, lightening our load and adding to the joy of the new life the Lord has provided. Who is a God like our God? (Micah 7:18-20)

It’s been quite a while since we’ve been in touch. Honestly, the transition to Zagreb has been difficult. Yet, the Lord’s faithfulness and steadfast love has been evident in how quickly the children adjusted and the church family has surrounded us. Praise be to God! We moved to Zagreb in August 2016 with an idea of what we would be doing to support a local church we’ve known for years and a pastor with whom we’ve been friends for even longer. But our roles were a bit undefined at the beginning. Additionally, we made an unofficial agreement to reevaluate the fit after two years. Now, in August 2018, our roles are more defined and we have agreed with our church to continue our ministry together indefinitely.  Petra is serving as the secretary of the church; a role she is very gifted in. We’ve discovered this gift after years of leading and coordinating camps in Orahovica which has also given her a wealth of experience. After a year of admin work with our app “Biblij...
