Teen Camp 2021

Rather than give another report of camps from our perspective, take a look at what some of the teenagers said about this year's Teen Camp:

Marina (18): "Being at camp was really nice, I'm glad I had the chance to see some friends I hadn't seen in awhile because of Corona. The best part of camp was the worship time, the evening messages and hanging out with my friends. One of the best memories I had was breathing fire and celebrating my 18th birthday. I'd recommend camp to everyone because through small groups and the evening sermon, the leaders were able to bring us closer to the Word of God in fun and creative ways."



Denny (15): "Teen camp this year was amazing! The team, workshops, olympics, food and of course the leaders, service and worship get an A+! My favorite part was the music workshop (an interesting group that was a lot of fun to hang out with). I'll remember playing games at the lake with my good friends."



Dora (15): "Being at camp was excellent. One of the better parts of camp was the atmosphere throughout the 6 days, in the sense that it was so easy for everyone to fit in and become friends with the other campers. The best memory from camp, which I will always remember, was talking with new friends by the campfire. I'd recommend this experience to everyone because I believe you will discover a part of yourself you never knew existed."

Keep It Going

I flew into Buffalo, NY late Saturday night and drove with my parents to a skilled nursing facility where my grandparents live. I had come to the States for one reason - to join the celebration of my grandparents' 70th anniversary. It had been a last-minute decision, so it came as a surprise to my grandparents. As I sat with my grandmother while the others were preparing for the party, I asked her if she had any advice for those of us with less experience. "Keep it going," she said simply. Then a few minutes later I overheard a conversation my grandfather was having with one of the guests. Upon learning that they were celebrating their 40th anniversary on the same day, he said "Keep it going." Hearing the same words from the two people who have kept it going for 70 years made an impression on me. In fact, the more I thought about the message I realised there were two very important implications. First was the obvious one: commitment. In our 10 years of...

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...

A Time to Sow and a Time to Reap

Seasons like this confirm God’s sovereignty in our lives and ministry! This fall has brought along completely unexpected opportunities that we are excited to share with you! During the week Croatian students were heading back to school, we received a phone call inviting us to come to the high-school in Orahovica and be guest English teachers. They asked us to teach 2 classes a month for each of the eight high-school classes –making a total of 16 hours each month until Christmas. If you remember, two years ago we were in the same high-school offering after- school English workshops for those who wanted to stay and practice their English. Though it has been nearly two years, they remembered what we had done and wanted us to supplement the current English program with the same sort of English activities we did back then. Having more experience now, in addition to already knowing several of the students through baseball has opened more doors than we imagined. In many ways we feel l...
