March and April in Color

In an effort to keep it simple, yet informative we'll summarize the last two months in a few pictures and several words:
On March 19-21 we had the privilege of driving to Vac, Hungary to take part in our first CEO gathering.  (If you're unfamiliar with CEO, please scroll down!)  We had a very enriching weekend interacting with other believers who have many of the same goals and passions as we do - but for different parts of Eastern Europe.  Since then, we've established a relationship with Tom Foley (far right) in which he has begun encouraging and mentoring us.  The move to CEO has been a huge blessing!
This is a team from EuroMission Norway who came down during the week before Easter to do a series of concerts in Orahovica and surrounding towns.  They helped us establish numerous contacts, and even more importantly showed a passion for living out their faith which many youth here have not witnessed among fellow teenagers. 
. 
The 6th - 9th of April was the beginning of baseball season in Orahovica.  We had an excellent training camp in which new children attended and we began each session with a short Scripture reading.  Excitement for baseball in Orahovica is growing and we'll have more exciting news to share on that front soon!  If you are interested in making a contribution specifically for our baseball team, we are in need of several pieces of equipment - especially catcher's gear.  Contact Jeremy if you are interested. jeremy.bohall@gmail.com
Every Friday evening our junior-highers come over for a Bible-Study, discussion and games.  Petra has connected with this group in a very special way.  Often, when events like Euromission happen, there's no follow-up.  But we're in a situation where we can continue to encourage, and disciple those who made decisions to follow Christ. 

Thank you for your continued support for the Bohall Ministry.  If there's a way we can keep you better informed, please let us know!

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...

2015: A Look Back

Jeremy here. 2015 was an incredible year for us. Petra and I celebrated 10 years of marriage. We taught a lot, traveled more than usual and were challenged in many areas of our lives. Here are a few of the highlights. Camps This year marked 10 years since my first camp experience in Orahovica. Although camps have been a constant, a lot has changed over that time. The building has been 99% renovated, there are more campers now than ever before and Petra and I have accepted full responsibility for hosting and coordinating camps. Each camp is different and every year brings new and varying challenges. Camp Orahovica at night All you need to do is scroll down to the next post to read more about the first three weeks of camp season which includes two kids camps and Young Adult Camp.  If there's a climax of camp season it's Teen Camp because of the added challenges but also added satisfaction of seeing teenagers' lives changed. During Teen Camp, the teenagers volu...
