Visit to the States

Years back, we decided that before our kids are school age we would try to visit the States every two years. We will be making our next visit from September 2012 to January 2013. Our purpose in coming is threefold:

1. To visit family and friends.
2. For Jeremy to study at Gordon-Conwell Seminary during the fall semester.
3. To renew our relationships with our supporters and continue to find new ministry partners.

As we prepare for our visit we have several needs that we haven’t had in the past. The first is an affordable vehicle that can fit three car seats inside during our five month stay in Massachusetts. Secondly, we are looking for two car seats—for a one year old and a two-and-a-half year old. If you know of anybody who would be willing to rent their vehicle for even part of that time, please let us know. The same goes for the car seats. If you have any information or questions towards this end please send an email to Jeremy at jeremy.bohall@gmail.com. Thanks!

In the past, we have hosted “Hvala” parties as a more personal way to keep you updated. We plan to do that again. If you’re in the New England area, keep an eye out for an invitation to our get-together this fall.

We are always looking for opportunities to share our ministry with churches and /or individuals who may be interested. If you know of opporutnies like this, please let us know. We are always excited to expand our support base and meet new partners.

Most importantly, we ask for your prayers as we prepare for the trip and travel with three young children. We are looking forward to this adventure and trust that the LORD will provide as he always does.

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...

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...
