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.

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...

Update: Camp Season in Full Force

In the middle of her other duties,  Petra joined our Royal Ranger fire breathing workshop We're right in the middle of our first camp season as the official hosts and organizers. 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...

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...
